By Harold R. Willoughby

Book Overview

The Mysticism of Philo is a book written by Harold R. Willoughby that explores the mystical teachings of the Jewish philosopher Philo of Alexandria. Philo was a Hellenistic Jewish philosopher who lived in the first century CE and is known for his unique blend of Jewish and Greek philosophy. Willoughby's book provides a comprehensive analysis of Philo's mystical teachings, which include his ideas about God, the soul, and the nature of reality.
