After a general introduction, she organizes the material into seven chapters, covering Philo's theology, doctrine of creation, anthropology, doctrine of ethics, metaphorical interpretation of biblical characters, exposition of the Jewish Law and the Decalogue, and Jewish worship and major observances. For each chapter, Naveros Córdova provides a brief introduction and overview of the topics in their cultural and religious contexts, highlighting Philo's philosophical thought and the significance of his biblical interpretation. The sourcebook primarily features fresh translations with minimal authorial comments, aiming to introduce and present Philonic texts to introductory readers, providing a broad exposure to the nature of Philo's literal and allegorical biblical interpretations.
