Goodenough's monograph reconstructs the political activity and thinking of Philo Judaeus, who shows the conflicting attitudes of a man subject to Roman rule in Alexandria and whose criticisms and adjustments to his audiences are here brought out for the first time. The bibliography, by both Goodhart and Goodenough, is the most complete ever assembed for Phio. The elaborate classification of the literature according to subjects makes it convenient for ready reference. Indispensable for all who work in Hellenistic Judaism, the New Testament, and Hellenistic Philosophy and Religion.
