<p>This is Volume 2 of the collected Works of Philo of Alexandria translated from the Greek by C. D. Yonge. Philo (c. 20 BCE - 50 CE) was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in Alexandria Egypt. He is known for his attempts to harmonize Greek philosophy with Jewish scripture using allegory to interpret the Hebrew Bible. His writings provide valuable insight into the intellectual and religious climate of the first century CE bridging the gap between classical Greek thought and early Christian theology.</p> <p>This volume contains further explorations of Jewish law ethics and theology through Philo's unique philosophical lens offering a profound engagement with the texts and traditions of the Old Testament. His works remain important for those interested in the history of Judaism the development of early Christian thought and the intersection of philosophy and religion in the ancient world.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
