Philo and Christian connections
Hi Folks,
First post in a little while, greetings. I put together a little bibliography on the topic of Philo and possible Christian connections and how this was seen by the church writers. The emphasis is on any possible actual connections, not the larger one of doctrinal ins and outs.
