Publisher's Synopsis
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 Creation, Allegorical Interpretation I, II & III, The Cheribum, Of Cain and his Birth, On the Birth of Abel, That the Worse is Wont to Attack the Better, On the Posterity of Cain and his Exile, On the Giants, On the Unchangeableness of God, On Husbandry, Concerning Noah's Work as a Planter, On Drunkeness, On the Prayers and Curses Uttered by Noah, On the Confusion of Tongues, On the Migration of Abraham and Who is the Heir of Divine Things.
