Summary

Philo lived in Alexandria between the end of the first century BC and the middle of the first century AD. He left many writings. He is famous for his teachings on the logos, so close to the New Testament doctrine of John and Paul, to inevitably give rise to questions about the nature of such similarities.
I read “Philo and the New Testament” by John Watson many years ago and found it very interesting, precious to introduce to Philo’s thought.
Contributions like Philo’s to human knowledge cannot be lost. So, it is indeed a privilege to present this writing to today’s students.
I am sure the reader will find valuable the addition to this text of the treatise On the Creation presented in English and in the Greek in order for the student to be able to enjoy Philo’s writing and have access to the original terminology which is so important to investigate in certain passages.
