Abstract

Philo of Alexandria shares Paul's Jewish Diaspora background and his use of the lxx. He also addressed Roman audiences just a decade or two before Paul wrote his Letter to the Romans. He thus enables us to analyze Paul's approach to Psalms from a rigorous historical perspective, which highlights both their phenomenological similarities and Paul's innovations on the path to develop a spiritual notion of Scripture.
