About Philo
Philo (Judaeus) of Alexandria (ca. 20 B.C.E.–50 C.E.) was a prolific writer. Although he was Jewish, his language was Greek, the principal language of his city. What did he write? Most of his writings are extant, but scholars dispute whether they represent exegesis, philosophy, apologetics, or even psychology. Philo’s writings probably reflect all of these interests, but his chief purpose, in my judgment, is to show that Judaism, particularly as seen in the Scriptures of Judaism, constitutes a superior worldview.
