Philo of Alexandria was of Hebrew parentage, but he was brought up studying the Greek language. He knew both Hebrew and Greek, but his writings contain mostly of the Greek philosophy, although it is tinged with Jewish for flavor(!). The amazing thing is that some of the themes that are discussed; Grace, Love, and repentance! These are words that we usually hear Jesus speak! He was a contemporary of Jesus, since he was born around 25 BC and probably heard about the itinerant preacher who was causing a ruckus... So if you are interested, you can find a volume of his at your local LifeWay or Mardel christian bookstore...

Hey...
My name is Eddie, and I'm the real boss around here. I read all of the books, and tell Erik what I think of them, so when you read the reviews, think of me!
