On Creation

By Philo Alexandrinus

The contribution of Philo's works to the understanding of the Jewish thought and philosophy in Alexandria cannot be underestimated. The way it inevitably depends of the writings of Moses and the desire to share and defend the faith of the one true God with and among the "Greeks" predates the Christian Church growth beyond the borders of the Jewish nation.Philo lived close to the end of the first century BC till the middle of the first century AD. We do not know much about him, but his many writings tell us a lot about what he thought. His was philosophy in the truest Greek sense of the word. But, it was a philosophy that relies on Revelation and tends to it.Philo is famous for his doctrine of the logos, so close to the biblical or Pauline doctrine to rise obvious questions about the nature of such similarities.The treatise On Creation is here presented - as far as I know for the first time - in English and Greek in order for the student to be able to enjoy Philo's writing and access to the original terminology which is so important to investigate in certain passages.If this book finds the public favor, others will follow.May God help us as we investigate the true philosophy that comes from Him and His Word and leads us to the contemplation of His Glory and majestic works.
