Abstract

For Philo, the logos concept is one of the most important tools to express God's presence on earth. To see God is impossible on the human part, but the Logos bridges the gap from God's side. Jewish motifs, e.g. the high priest, pilgrimage, the Temple are used as metaphors of God's presence and translated into Hellenistic philosophy.
