Overview
As many have undertaken to provide an overview of Philo from a Christian perspective or from the perspective of Greek philosophy, few have approached this figure from his own Jewish perspective. Norman Bentwich seeks to rectify this through Philo Judaeus of Alexandria. Rather than viewing him as some sort of historical anomaly or oddity, Bentwich argues that “Philo is essentially and splendidly a Jew, and that his thought is through and through Jewish.” Philo’s Jewish perspective is not incidental but is critical to an honest comprehension of his writings.
