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. 600 00 Philo, |cof Alexandria |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n80051891 776 08 |iPrint version: |z9780521305112 830 0 Cambridge commentaries on writings of the Jewish and Christian world, 200 BC to AD 200 ; |vv. 1, pt. 2.
