Les études philoniennes


Book Description

"This volume gathers the proceedings of the Paris conference in Philonic studies (2017), consisting of 23 papers by contributors from 8 countries. Fifty years after the Lyon conference, it aimed at taking a retrospective look at the intellectual contexts and the academic fields in which Philonic studies have penetrated, as well as the ways in which they evolved. The work of the Alexandrian became of major importance in the history of philosophy. It has been studied as a source of cultured Christianity, in connection with Second Temple Judaism and the Alexandrian Jewish community, but also in the context of research on rabbinic Judaism, New Testament and philosophy of the imperial era. Ce volume rassemble les actes du colloque de Paris (2017), qui râeunit 23 intervenants de 8 nationalitâes. Cinquante ans apráes le colloque de Lyon, il s'agissait de râeflâechir aux milieux intellectuels et aux disciplines universitaires dans lesquels les âetudes philoniennes avaient pâenâetrâe le monde de la recherche, les bases sur lesquelles elles avaient âevoluâe. L'¶uvre de l'Alexandrin a pris une importance majeure dans l'histoire de la philosophie; elle a âetâe explorâee comme source du christianisme lettrâe, en lien avec le judaèisme de l'âEpoque du Second Temple et la communautâe juive d'Alexandrie, mais aussi dans le cadre des âetudes sur le judaèisme rabbinique, dans le dâeveloppement des âetudes sur le Nouveau Testament et sur la philosophie de l'âepoque impâeriale"--




Book III of the Sibylline Oracles and its Social Setting


Book Description

This volume contains a thorough study of the third book of the Sibylline Oracles. This Jewish work was written in the Roman province of Asia sometime between 80 and 40 BCE. It offers insights into the political views of the author and his perception of the relation between Jews and non-Jews, especially in the field of religion and ethics. The present study consists of three parts: 1. introductory questions; 2. a literary analysis of the book, translation, and commentary; 3. the social setting of the book. It aims to further the scholarly use of the third Sibylline book and to improve our knowledge of early Judaism in its Graeco-Roman environment.




The Fall of the Angels


Book Description

Fall of the Angels focuses on a biblical tradition whose significance has been recognised, elaborated and explored in literature and art outside the Bible. Its extensive influence on religion and culture during the last two millenia is reflected in the wide variety of interpretations of this tradition among communities as they came to terms with religious identity in the face of opposition.




Philo of Alexandria


Book Description

Philo (20BCE?-45CE?) is the most illustrious son of Alexandrian Jewry and the first major scholar to combine a deep Jewish learning with Greek philosophy. His unique allegorical exegesis of the Greek Bible was to have a profound influence on the early fathers of the Church. Philo was, above all, a philosopher, but he was also intensely practical in his defence of the Jewish faith and law in general, and that of Alexandria’s embattled Jewish community in particular. A famous example was his leadership of a perilous mission to plead the community’s cause to Emperor Caligula. This monograph provides a guide to Philo's life, his thought and his action, as well as his continuing influence on theological and philosophical thought.
