In his monumental study of Philo of Alexandria (1947),
Harry A. Wolfson argued that the philosophical method
developed by Philo, in which Greek philosophy and Scripture
are combined, served as the model for Christian, Jewish and
Islamic thinkers until the time of Spinoza. This book, through
an examination of the thought of Philo, Maimonides and
Aquinas, confirms Wolfson’s thesis.
