| Resumo: | In this paper I present three major contributions that Thomas H. Tobin, SJ, offered to Philonic scholarship. I explore Tobin’s method of interpretation of Philo’s interpretation of the divine Logos within the larger context of Hellenistic philosophy and his reinterpretations of the double creation of man and the allegory of the soul within the history of traditions. My aim is to show how in his elucidations of complex passages in De opificio mundi and Legum allegoriae, Philo’s interpretations of Gen 1:26–27, Gen 2:7, and Genesis 1–3, Tobin lucidly highlighted exegetical traditions that Philo drew on and utilized in his own interpretations. Tobin was able to develop patterns and levels of interpretation that allowed him to find unity in Philo’s biblical exegesis and to identify Philo as a vital representative of Middle Platonism. |
