Taylor and David M. Hay explore what social, cultural and political factors influenced Philo's presentation of the Therapeutae, a Jewish philosophical group of men and women, as the pinnacle of excellence. Through stinging parody of those in Alexandria who vilified and attacked the Jewish community, Philo manages to avoid direct confrontation while artfully defending the Jewish community's place in the broader Roman world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 458\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.02 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 03, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47652833689821,"sku":"9781628376937","price":137.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0811\/9867\/8237\/files\/rKg8XQNMIg9781628376937.webp?v=1773891440","url":"https:\/\/handfulofbooks.com\/products\/philo-of-alexandria-on-the-contemplative-life-introduction-translation-and-commentary-paperback","provider":"Handful of Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
