Synopsis
Explore Philo of Alexandria and how his blend of Torah devotion and Greek philosophy shaped Jewish thought.
This study traces how Philo reconciled a reverent regard for the Torah with the ideas of his Hellenistic world. It highlights his distinctive use of Logos and Wisdom, and shows how these concepts helped him present Israel’s life and law as a universal message. The book also situates Philo within the Alexandrian Jewish community and its dialogue with Greek philosophy, alongside the broader history of Judaism in antiquity.
- Learn how Philo interprets the Law as both spiritual guide and living inspiration.
- See how the ideas of Wisdom and the Word develop into central elements of his theology.
- Understand the cultural and intellectual milieu of Alexandria that shaped his approach.
- Discover how Philo’s method influenced later religious thought and debates about scripture.
