Philo of Alexandria’s life and work have been the object of a number of studies in recent years, especially in the United States and Germany. This interest is due first to the fascination this strange and complex personality continues to cause, with his combination of faith in the Old Testament and Hellenistic culture. It is also due to Philo testimony about the state of Judaism in the period when Christianity appears– and to the rebirth of lively interest in that environment because of the discovery of the Qumran manuscripts. Danielou’s 'Philo of Alexandria' gives us a historical, philosophical, and religious context of Philo Judaeus.
