The Works of Philo PDF
Read a digital edition of writings by Philo Judaeus of Alexandria, a major source for studying Hellenistic Judaism, ancient Jewish philosophy, and the religious world of early Christianity.
This edition uses the translation of classicist C. D. Yonge and includes a new foreword, newly translated passages, and material described as fragments attributed to Philo in ancient sources. The titles and arrangement are presented according to scholarly conventions.
Philo’s discussions of the Logos and his interpretive approaches are useful for comparing Jewish and early Christian intellectual traditions, including themes later discussed in studies of the Gospel of John and Hebrews.
