In Lives of the Sophists Philostratus (second to third century CE) depicts the widespread influence of Sophistic in the second and third centuries CE.

The philosopher Philo, born about 20 BCE to a prominent Jewish family in Alexandria, was trained in Greek as well as Jewish learning. In attempting to reconcile biblical teachings with Greek philosophy he developed ideas that had wide influence on Christian and Jewish religious thought.

In his Life of Apollonius, Philostratus (second to third century CE) portrays a first-century CE teacher, religious reformer, and perceived rival to Jesus. Apollonius s letters, ancient reports about him, and a letter by Eusebius (fourth century CE) that is now central to the history of Philostratus s work add to the portrait.

Philostratus's biography of Apollonius of Tyana, recounting the sayings of a Pythagorean sage, provoked a debate between pagans and Christians.
