Guidebook par excellence to a significant ancient Jewish scholar A
contemporary of both Jesus and the apostle Paul, Philo was a
prolific Jewish theologian, philosopher, and politician -- a
fascinating, somewhat enigmatic figure -- who lived his entire life
in Alexandria, Egypt. His many books are important sources for our
understanding of ancient Judaism, early Christianity, and the
philosophical currents of that time. Reading Philo is an excellent
introductory guide to Philo's work and significance. The
contributors -- all well-known experts on Philo of Alexandria --
discuss Philo in context, offer methodological considerations (how
best to study Philo), and explore Philo's ongoing relevance and
value (why reading him is important). This practical volume will be
an indispensable resource for anyone delving into Philo and his
world.
