Jesus the Homosexual: Evidence From the Gospels
#17
RE: Jesus the Homosexual: Evidence From the Gospels
It is not an either/or question.

http://www.iep.utm.edu/philo/

Quote:Philo of Alexandria, a Hellenized Jew also called Judaeus Philo, is a figure that spans two cultures, the Greek and the Hebrew. When Hebrew mythical thought met Greek philosophical thought in the first century B.C.E. it was only natural that someone would try to develop speculative and philosophical justification for Judaism in terms of Greek philosophy. Thus Philo produced a synthesis of both traditions developing concepts for future Hellenistic interpretation of messianic Hebrew thought, especially by Clement of Alexandria, Christian Apologists like Athenagoras, Theophilus, Justin Martyr, Tertullian, and by Origen.

Greeks had dominated the region for centuries before the Romans showed up. As they normally managed, the Jewish ruling classes made accommodation with them.
