RELIGIOUS PHILOSOPHY

A Group of Essays

"Wolfson's book is a collection of papers devoted to the history, exegesis and criticism of certain religious concepts, in particular those connected with the religious philosopher Philo. The subject matter itself is refreshingly original, and through it the author manages to forge historical links between the thought of Greek and Hebrew religious philosophers on the one hand and modern empiricists on the other, in a way which is at once scholarly and convincing."-John Wilson, Theology

PHILO

Foundations of Religious Philosophy in Judaism, Christianity, and Isları "As regards those aspects of Philo which he set out to investigate, we can readily say that Prof. Wolfson's work is definitive. In his hands the study of Philonic philosophy enters the field of science. One might discuss this or that particular point in his interpretation, as we have done here and there in this review, but the great lines of Philo's system appear to be now definitely secured. This work, then, has filled a considerable lacuna in the history of philosophy; for Philo is an essential link in the chain of that history"-Jean Danielou, SJ, Theological Studies
