Book Description
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1909 edition. Excerpt: ... life is to live in obedience to, and worship of God--to proceed cheerfully from death to immortality. We thus reach the abode of immortality.25 Therefore26 God exhorts man to run to the highest Logos of God which is the fountain of wisdom, in order that by drinking of that stream he may find everlasting life instead of death. It is also imparted by Eucharistic drinking which see. 4. JUDGMENT. While we do not hear anything very clear about any one special day of judgment, Philo is sure of absolute justice, so that a bad man will not lose reward for a single good action done among many evil ones, or a good man fail to be punished for a single bad action among many good ones.27 5 SIN J DEGREESq REPENTANCE. The usual Greek word for sin is hamartano, meaning "to miss the mark," as an arrow. Hence it is interesting to notice Philo's expression of a "reason which is aimed at truth like an arrow."28 The word for repentance means literally "to change one's mind;" and Philo gives it almost disproportionate space in his system. His order of excellence is29 1, perfection; 2, repentance, and next lower, 3, lover of God and lover of virtue; and again30 next below, as Moses was below Enoch, hope.

Book Description
Philo's specific agenda is seen to be the presentation of a brief for a commitment to Judaism, including the obligation both to the study and to the practice of the Torah commandments and the 'ancient unwritten traditions'. This he argues from the vantage point of a thoroughly hellenized Jew to a thoroughly hellenized audience. Among the subjects treated in the book: Philo as part of an ongoing Palestinian - Diaspora midrashic tradition; Judaism considered as a philosophy: The Greek Virtues and the Mosaic Laws; Philo's Shema (includes a discussion of Philo's conception of the Phylacteries, the Mezuzah, and the absence in Philo of Parashath Tsitsith); the use of many Greek words and Greek word combinations in an idiosyncratic Jewish connotation in Jewish contexts; Philo's curriculum of study; The Oral Law and Philo.
