Philo of Alexandria, a pivotal figure in Greek-speaking Judaism, is explored through a collection of essays by David T. Runia, covering his writings from 1997 to 2021. The first section introduces Philo's relevance across seven sub-disciplines, while the second delves into his engagement with Greek philosophy, including an unpublished analysis of Plato's Phaedo. The essays also address biblical interpretation within the Alexandrian milieu and theological themes such as theodicy and divine power, culminating in detailed readings of significant Philonic texts.
