註釋

A contemporary of Jesus Christ, Philo of Alexandria ranks among the greatest of Jewish and Greek thinkers. He was not only the first theologian but also the first psychologist of faith, the first mystic among monotheists, and the first systematizer of biblical allegory. Chosen by a distinguished scholar of Jewish-Hellenistic culture, these selections illuminate Philo's crucial role in assimilating Greek philosophy to biblical religion and accommodating Jewish belief to the requirements of Greek thought. An introductory essay is followed by meditations on God and the world, God and man, and man and the world. Additional subjects include the knowledge of God; the mystic way; the soul and her God; man's humility, hope, faith, and joy; vices and virtues; and Israel and the nations.
