'Gender and Divine Relativity in Philo of Alexandria,'
Journal for the Study of Judaism Volume 34, Number 4,2003, pp. 471 - 491
Abstract
Philo''s apparent divinization of Moses is considered vis-à-vis ancient conceptions of gender. Philo''s Moses is a perfect illustration of the ideology of masculinity evident in a wide range of Greco-Roman literature. Moreover, with Philo''s Moses, perfect masculinity is commensurate with divinity, but both remain relative to the "asexual masculinity" of God.
