Philo's view of God

But Philo, who was a pious Jew, could not accept the un-Jewish, pagan conception of the world and the irreligious attitude which would have been the logical result of his own system; and so he accepted the Stoic doctrine of the immanence of God, which led him to statements opposed to those he had previously made.

In many ways, one can consider this view of God to be different from the God of the Hebrew Bible, with more affinity for the idea or "form" (eidos) of Plato designated as Θεός (Theos), in contrast to matter.
