Philo Of Alexandria Livres
Philon d'Alexandrie était un philosophe juif hellénistique qui employait l'allégorie philosophique pour harmoniser la pensée grecque et juive. Sa méthode puisait à la fois dans l'exégèse juive et la philosophie stoïcienne. Il croyait que les interprétations littérales des écritures limitaient la perception de Dieu par l'homme, trop complexe pour des termes humains littéraux. Son concept du Logos en tant que principe créateur de Dieu a pu influencer la christologie primitive.
This renowned reference book has served scholars, pastors, students, and those interested in the background of the New Testament for years. The insight given into the Essene community, the destruction of Jerusalem and the interpretations and traditions of the Old Testament in first century Judaism is invaluable. The outlook of Josephus, a late first century Pharisee and historian, on Jesus and the New Testament documents is enlightening and provocative. As an original reference, "The Works of Josephus" is essential to a full understanding of the first century, the time of Christ and the New Testament. Complete and unabridged, this is the best one-volume edition of the classic translation of Josephus' works. The entire text has been reset in modern, easy-to-read type; numbering corresponding to that used in the Loeb edition has been added to the text; and citations and cross-references have been updated from Roman numerals to Arabic numbers.
