Who this is
“Philo taught Jerusalem to speak Greek and, without ever knowing it, wrote the opening vocabulary of Christian theology — while his own tradition forgot him for fifteen hundred years.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“The God of Abraham and the reason of the Greeks are describing the same reality — and the bridge between an unknowable God and our world is the Logos, God's own Reason at work in creation.”
