WHETHER or not Philo of Alexandria directly inspired the Apostle Paul is a matter of Scholarly debate. Whatis agreed upon, however, is that both were first century Jewish contemporaries employing similar Hellenistic Jewish ideas. Their shared universe included thematic parallels like Adam typology as a heavenly and earthly archetype and the divine Logos as divine intermediaries in creation. Though any suggestion that Philo met Peter in Rome and became a Christian afterwards is heavily frowned upon by the same Scholars, as was the Christian belief for centuries, it cannot be argued that Philo shaped early Christian thinking. In fact, it is only through the labor of Christian scribes that we have Philo’s writings at all.
Our latest release is the first of four volumes of Philo’s complete works as sourced through the translation of Charles Duke Yonge. You can pick up a copy in the TUC Store.
