Philo of Alexandria - An Exegete for His Time

Philo's writings are a comprehensive and important source of late Second Temple Judaism, and illuminate the context of First Century Christianity. However, today many find them to be rather inaccessible. Professor Borgen's book provides a key to Philo's fascinating world and makes a better understanding and appreciation possible of this great Jewish exegete and philosopher of Antiquity.
