PHILO JUDAEUS -- WHOSE IMAGE?

PHILO JUDAEUS (circa. 20 B.C.E-50 C.E.): “...Why does (Scripture) say, as if (speaking) of another god, "in the image of God He made man" AND NOT "IN HIS OWN IMAGE"? Most excellently and veraciously this oracle was given by God. For nothing mortal can be made in the likeness of THE MOST HIGH ONE AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSE but (only) in that of the second god who is his Logos. For it was right that the rational part fo the human soul should be formed as an impression by the divine Logos, since THE PRE-LOGOS GOD IS SUPERIOR to every rational nature. But HE WHO IS ABOVE the Logos exists in the best and in a special form – what thing that comes into being can rightly bear His likeness? Moreover, Scripture wishes to show that God most justly avenges the virtuous and decent men because they have a certain kinship with His Logos, of which the human mind is a likeness and image...” - (Book 2, Chapter/Section 62, “Questions In Genesis,” also Eusebius of Caesarea Book 7, Chapter 13, Section 1, “Prep. Evang.,” Page 150, Philo Supplement 1, Translation by R. Marcus, quoted on Page 164, Part 3, The Extra-Rabbinic Evidence and Conclusions, Chapter 9, Philo, “Two Powers in Heaven: Early Rabbinic Reports About Christianity and Gnosticism,” By Alan F. Segal 1977.)

Runia) Compare also Somn. 2.45 “...the substance of the universe was without shape and figure, God gave it these ; when it had no definite character God molded it into definiteness, and when He had perfected it, ( stamped ) the entire universe with His image and ideal form, even His own word...” (PLCL) see 3.2.5.1.

PHILO JUDAEUS (circa. 20 B.C.E-50 C.E.): “...Why as if speaking of another God does He say, “In the image of God I made man,”{63} and not in the image of Himself? With consummate beauty and wisdom is this oracle expressed. For nothing mortal could be made in the likeness of THE MOST HIGH GOD AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSE, but in the likeness of the second God, who is the Word of the former. For it was right that the rational character in the soul of man should be impressed on it by the divine Word; since the God who is PRIOR TO the Word IS SUPERIOR TO every rational nature; and it was not lawful for any created thing to be made like TO HIM WHO IS SET ABOVE the Word in THE MOST excellent and unique nature...” - (Book 7, Chapter 13, Section 1, “Praeparatio Evangelica,” or “Preparation for the Gospel,” Eusebius of Caesarea, Translated by E.H. Gifford 1903.)
