Excerpt from Primitive Christianity and Its Non-Jewish Sources That primitive Christianity is directly or indirectly indebted to non-jewish religions, is a view that was held at a much earlier date than is commonly supposed: it is, in fact, as old as Christianity itself. For Philo, who elsewhere makes the Greeks learn from Moses,1 at one point (vita Mos. I. 5, ed. Mangey, ii. 84) represents Moses as having learned from the Greeks; and this statement, if worked out to its consequences, would mean that Jesus and His disciples were indirectly pupils of the same great teachers.
