The Making of Fornication

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.10.19, has a review presenting a book that, to some extent, at least, also deals with the works of Philo:
Kathy L. Gaca, The Making of Fornication: Eros, Ethics, and Political Reform in Greek Philosophy and Early Christianity.
Berkeley: University of California Press, 2003. Pp. xvii, 359. ISBN 0-520-23599-1. $60.00.

The reviewer states in her introduction:"The Making of Fornication is among the dozen most important books on
the history of sexuality in the ancient Mediterranean. It presents the
most comprehensive and authoritative treatment of sexuality in Greek
philosophy; and makes a major statement of the relationship between the
views of Greek philosophy and early Christianity on sexual ethics; and
does much to clarify and distinguish among Christian views. I've been
reading in this field for a long time, and there is a great deal in
this book that I have never seen before. Tantum religio potuit suadere
malorum; I do not write here from a neutral position, and neither does
Gaca. Her book shows what happened in the 200s CE to put us in the bind we're in today."

Then she says:

"Rather than explaining why Christian sexual ethics caught on -- a great
mystery --, the book shows how it evolved. The book is divided into
three parts: first on Greek philosophy (Plato, the Stoics, and the
Pythagoreans and late Stoics); second on the Septuagint, Paul, and
Philo; third on Tatian, Clement, and Epiphanes. Parts one and two are
needed to see not only the forebears of the thinkers in part three but
also where they diverged radically from these forebears, just as Philo
and Paul each diverged from theirs."
