Many early church fathers actually owe their thinking and interpretation ways to Philo since he paved the way for philosophical thinking and the teachings of the Hebrew Bible. Although it is unclear as to how much he influence someone like the apostle Paul, some consider it likely since they both lived and taught during the same early forming of the first church.
