An extremely important Jewish writer and thinker of the first
century AD, Philo of Alexandria exercised through his ideas and
language a lasting influence on the development and growth of
Christianity in the New Testament period and later. This book
provides an introduction to the major themes and ideas in the
religious and philosophical thinking of Philo and outlines the
importance of his thought by means of introductory treatments and
sections of freshly translated text and commentary. Dr Williamson
illustrates in his work the place and significance of Philo within
Judaism and as part of the background to Christianity, and so
provides a valuable resource for scholars and students in this area
of study.
