Description
"For many students of the N.T. the problem of the relationship between Philo and the Epistle to the Hebrews is one that has long been satisfactorily settled. It is regarded as an established conclusion that the Writer of Hebrews wrote under the influence of that fundamental tenet of Platonic philosophy, 'The unchanging Realities we can apprehend by the mind only : the senses can show us only transient and imperfect copies of reality'. It is also generally agreed, particularly but not only among British N.T. scholars, that the influence of Plato's philosophy upon the Epistle was mediated through the writings of Philo the Jew, whose own language and thought, it is claimed, made a powerful impact upon the vocabulary and ideas of the Epistle. ... This enquiry has been undertaken in the belief that there is much to be said for the view that 'Philo's influence on early Christian thought has doubtless been exaggerated'.--Introduction, pages 1 and 8
