Philo of Alexandria: an exegete for His time

---

This volume gives important insights into his exegetical works. The structure of the books and their exegetical ideas are seen here as being closely connected, and his writings are analyzed against the background of the history, variety, and outlook of Alexandrian Jewry. Philo's exegesis is a meeting place between Jewish and Greek notions and ideas, tensions are reflected, such as those between particularism and universalism, between specific biblical and historical earthly events and general macro and micro cosmic principles, and between heavenly ascents and interpreted history and eschatology.
