Nelida Naveros Cordova carefully draws from a variety of texts
within the Philonic corpus to provide a complete sourcebook for an
introduction to Philo. After a general introduction, she
consolidates the major topics and themes commonly studied in Philo
into seven chapters: Philo's theology, his doctrine of creation,
his anthropology, his doctrine of ethics, his metaphorical
interpretation of biblical characters, his exposition of the Jewish
Law and the Decalogue, and Jewish worship and major observances.
For each chapter, Naveros Cordova provides a brief introduction and
overview of the topics in their cultural and religious contexts
highlighting Philo's philosophical thought and the significance of
his biblical interpretation. The sourcebook consists mostly of
fresh translations with few authorial comments with an attempt to
introduce and present Philonic texts to the introductory reader to
give broad exposure to the nature of Philo's literal and
allegorical biblical interpretations. From start to finish, the
book emphasizes the unity of the ethical character of Philo's
thought considered the basic spectrum of his biblical exegesis.
