""The Message of Philo Judaeus of Alexandria"" is a comprehensive study of the life, works, and philosophy of Philo Judaeus, a first-century Jewish philosopher from Alexandria, Egypt. The book is written by Kenneth Sylvan Guthrie, a renowned scholar of ancient philosophy and religion.Guthrie explores the historical and cultural context of Philo's life and writings, as well as the philosophical and theological ideas that he developed. He examines Philo's use of allegory and symbolism in his interpretation of the Hebrew Bible, and his attempts to reconcile Jewish and Greek philosophical traditions.The book also delves into Philo's views on ethics, politics, and the nature of God, as well as his influence on later Jewish and Christian thinkers. Guthrie argues that Philo's message is still relevant today, as his ideas continue to shape debates about the relationship between religion and philosophy.Overall, ""The Message of Philo Judaeus of Alexandria"" is a valuable resource for scholars and students of ancient philosophy, religion, and Jewish studies, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and faith.Philo was born in Alexandria in 20 B.C.
