Historian Kennieth Guthrie writes that "Numenius is perhaps the only recognized Greek philosopher who explicitly studied Moses, the prophets, and the life of [[Jesus]]".{{Sfn | Guthrie | 1917 | p = 194}} He describes his background: {{blockquote |Numenius was a man of the world; he was not limited to [[Greco-Roman mysteries|Greek and Egyptian mysteries]], but talked familiarly of the myths of [[Brahmin]]s and [[Magi]]. It is however his knowledge and use of the Hebrew scriptures which distinguished him from other Greek philosophers. He refers to Moses simply as "the prophet", exactly as for him Homer is the poet. Plato is described as a Greek Moses.{{Sfn | Guthrie | 1917 | p = 101}}}} Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
