Note 87 — Chapter III · Hellenistic Influence upon the Jews of the Dispersion
Reading edition
It is of importance for Christian theology to notice that in several passages (see Lightfoot, Colossians and Philemon, p. 216) Philo interprets “the image of God” to mean the “Logos”; so that when, in Gen. i. 27, man is said to have been created in “the image of God,” it means that he was created in the likeness of the “Logos.”
