While it would not be correct to say that Philo's works have been "lost"–scholars have always known and used Philo– they have essentially been "misplaced"as far as the average student of the Bible is concerned. Now for the first time in nearly 140 years the translation of the eminent classicist C.D. Yonge is available in an affordable, easy-to-read edition, with a new foreword and newly translated passages, and containing supposed fragments of Philo's writings from ancient authors such as John of Damascus. The title and arrangement of the writings have been standardized according to scholarly conventions. A contemporary of Paul and Jesus, Philo Judaeus, of Alexandria, Egypt, is unquestionably among the most important writers for historians and students of Hellenistic Judaism and early Christianity. Although Philo does not explicitly mention Jesus, or Paul, or any of the followers of Jesus, Philo lived in their world. It is from Philo, for example, that we learn about how, like the Gospel of John, Jews (and Greeks) in ancient Mediterranean spoke of the creative force of God as God's Logos. Philo, too, employs interpretative strategies that parallel those of the author of Hebrews. Most scholars would agree that Philo and the author of Hebrews are drawing from the same, or at least similar, traditions of Hellenistic Judaism. With these kind of connections to the world of Judaism and early Christianity, Philo cannot be ignored. --Jacket. Philosophy, Ancient. Judaism Works to 1900. Jewish philosophy Early works to 1800.
