Complete and Unabridged

By: Charles Duke Philo

An affordable edition of Philo! A contemporary of Jesus and Paul, Philo wrote extensively on the Hebrew Scriptures and other Jewish topics, but few have read his work because all available sets were pricey.

Philo of Alexandria: On Cultivation

Introduction, Translation and Commentary

By: Albert Geljon,D.T. Runia

The Jewish exegete and philosopher Philo of Alexandria has long been famous for his allegorical treatises on the Greek Bible. The present volume contains the first translation and commentary in English on his treatise De agricultura (On cultivation), which gives an elaborate allegorical interpretation of Genesis 9:20. Noah’s role as a cultivator is analysed in terms of the ethical and spiritual quest of the soul making progress towards its goal. The translation renders Philo’s baroque Greek into readable modern English. The commentary pays particular attention to the treatise’s structure, its biblical basis and its exegetical and philosophical contents. The volume will be valuable for the insights it gives into an unusual but highly influential method of biblical interpretation.

The Biblical Antiquities of Philo

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

The Biblical Antiquities of Philo

By: Pseudo - Philo

This volume is a Bible history, reaching, in its present imperfect form, from Adam to the death of Saul. It has come to us only in a Latin translation (made from Greek, and that again from a Hebrew original), and by an accident the name of the great Jewish philosopher of the first century, Philo, has been attached to it. Let me say at once that the attribution of it to him is wholly unfounded, and quite ridiculous: nevertheless I shall use his name in italics ('Philo') as a convenient short title. Its importance lies in this, that it is a genuine and unadulterated Jewish book of the first century--a product of the same school as the Fourth Book of Esdras and the Apocalypse of Baruch, and written, like them, in the years which followed the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70. It is thus contemporary with some of the New Testament writings, and throws light upon them as well as upon the religious thought of the Jews of its time. --from the Introduction

On the Creation of the Cosmos According to Moses

By: Philo (of Alexandria.)

This study is the first volume in the new Philo of Alexandria Commentary Series. It contains a new English translation of Philo's famous treatise "On the creation of the cosmos" (the first for seventy years), and the first ever commentary in English. In this work the Jewish exegete and philosopher gives a selective exegesis of the Mosaic creation account and the events in Paradise as recorded in Genesis 1-3. It is the first preserved example of Hexaemeral literature, and had a profound influence on early Christian thought. The commentary aims to make Philo's thought accessible to readers such as graduate students who are just beginning to read him, but also contains much material that will be of interest to specialists in Hellenistic Judaism, ancient philosophy and patristic literature.

Making Citizens

Political Socialization Research and Beyond

By: Philo C. Wasburn,Tawnya J. Adkins Covert

This book assembles what political scientists, sociologists, and communication analysts have learned in almost six decades of research on political socialization (the lifelong process by which we acquire political beliefs). It also explores how people develop political values, attitudes, identities, and behavioral dispositions. Of particular interest to Philo C. Wasburn and Tawnya J. Adkins Covert is the process by which people are made into active citizens who are politically interested, informed, partisan, tolerant, and engaged. Finally, Wasburn and Adkins Covert identify some suggestions for institutional change that would lead to “better” citizenship.

The Works of Philo Judaeus: Volume II

By: Philo Judaeus

A powerful collection of writings in which Philo attempts to consolidate Jewish beliefs with Greek philosophy in the end Hellenising the Hebrew Bible. Many early church fathers actually owe their thinking and interpretation ways to Philo since he paved the way for philosophical thinking and the teachings of the Hebrew Bible. Although it is unclear as to how much he influence someone like the apostle Paul, some consider it likely since they both lived and taught during the same early forming of the first church. This book includes: On Mating with the Preliminary Studies, On Flight and Finding, On the Change of Names, On Dreams, That They Are God Sent, On Abraham, On Joseph, On the Life of Moses I & II, The Decalogue, The Special Laws I & II
