Book Overview
This is Volume 3 of the collected "Works" of Philo of Alexandria, meticulously translated from the original Greek by C. D. Yonge. Philo, a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria, Egypt, during the Roman Empire, is renowned for his synthesis of Greek philosophy and Jewish theology. His writings offer invaluable insights into the intellectual and religious landscape of the first century.
This volume contains Philo's interpretations of the Old Testament, showcasing his allegorical method of interpreting scripture. By blending Platonic and Stoic thought with Jewish tradition, Philo sought to reconcile reason and revelation, making his works essential reading for scholars of religion, philosophy, and history. His enduring influence can be seen in the development of both Christian and Jewish thought.
