Philo Of Alexandria Libri
Filone di Alessandria fu un filosofo ebreo ellenistico che impiegò l'allegoria filosofica per armonizzare il pensiero greco ed ebraico. Il suo metodo attinse sia all'esegesi ebraica che alla filosofia stoica. Credeva che le interpretazioni letterali delle scritture limitassero la percezione umana di Dio, troppo complesso per termini umani letterali. Il suo concetto di Logos come principio creativo di Dio potrebbe aver influenzato la prima cristologia.
