Paperback. Condition: Good. Philo of Alexandria was a few years older than Jesus of Nazareth and lived longer. He belonged to a wealthy and cultured family, prominent in the Jewish community in Alexandria. Philo had contacts with the highest level of Roman authorities. He was on a risky diplomatic mission to Caligula on behalf of the persecuted Jews of Alexandria during what turned out to be Caligula's last days. Herod Agrippa was a friend in Rome during Philo's hour of greatest need. Philo is a sympathetic source on what sounds very much like a contemporary Jewish monastic movement. He is also one of the creators of the allegorical interpretation of Scripture. Some of his exegesis is reminiscent of Pythagorean numerology. It has been argued that Philo, who was well educated in Greek thought, was the founder of medieval philosophy. St. John seems to adapt Philo's thoughts about the Logos, the Word, in the prologue to his Gospel. There are also close ties between Philo's thinking and the Letter to the Hebrews. Jean Danielou, a paradigm of scholarship and clarity, makes Philo speak to us in his own voice. Anyone interested in patristics, exegesis, or simply Christian beginnings will benefit by reading Danielou's treatment of Philo.…

Softcover. 4th printing. 249, [1] p.; 18 cm. (Meridian books ; M96: first printing 1957) Includes Nihil obstat and Imprimatur `My plan in this book is, then, not to record what I say of God, but what God has said of Himself. This is what justifies my plan and provides its directive. For God has spoken several times. He spoke and He speaks to all men through Creation, which is His handiwork, and through the spirit, which is His image. Then He spoke by His Prophets. And finally He spoke by His Son. Thus it is the same God who made Himself known to the heathen and to the philosophers, to the Jews and to the Christians. But amid all these ways of knowing God, it is desirable to establish some kind of order. And that is really the aim of this book: to place religions and philosophies, the Old Testament and the New, theology and mysticism, in their proper relationship with the knowledge of God. In this book we should also wish to help those who are groping after God, by showing them the ways by which He makes Himself known.' (p. 8) Good ex-lib., sewn, in laminated red and black wrapper.…
