The Exegetical Paradigm of Philo Judaeus on the Creation
The Exegetical Paradigm of Philo Judaeus on the Creation

Summary/Abstract: The paper proposes an approach of two fundamental themes in the works of Philo Judaeus, namely the creation ex nihilo and the question of Logos. The main point of the article is to see whether Philo sustains or not the idea of eternal creation. The author considers that he rather comes closer to the patristic discourse which states the eternal existence of paradigms of creation in God. The question of Logos, on the other hand is related to the theology of the image and resemblance in Genesis 1, 26-27. Finally, the paper studies the theme of time and eternity in Philo’s work, in close relation to Philo’s concept of creation.
