What does Plato have to do with the Christian faith?
Quite a bit, it turns out. In ways that might surprise us, Christians throughout the history of the church and even today have inherited aspects of the ancient Greek philosophy of Plato, who was both Socrates's student and Aristotle's teacher.
To help us understand the influence of Platonic thought on the Christian faith, Louis Markos offers careful readings of some of Plato's best-known texts and then traces the ways that his work shaped the faith of some of Christianity's most beloved theologians, including Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine, Dante, and C.S. Lewis.
With Markos's guidance, listeners can ascend to a true understanding of Plato's influence on the faith.

Fantastic

I’m sure it’s much better read than what I’ve experienced thus far with the books that are “included “ with my Audible membership.
The narration is awful. I can’t tell if it’s a real person or a computer. Pretty sure it’s a computer.

While the performance was decent overall, he had something of a pedantic tone, over-articulating the t in Plato consistently, and mispronunced a number of uncommon words and names.
That being said, this was a very well-conceived and executed work.
Very well done overall

An Excellent Read

Not only does Markos have the intellectual chops to explain Plato’s worldview (from original sources) as it correlates with the progression of many, many Christian scholars through the centuries, from Paul of Tarsus through C S Lewis, he does so with grace and aplomb!
Excellent references - excellent analysis. Thank you, Dr. Markos, in particular, for including Erasmus’ “Education of a Christian Prince”. Every student required to read “the Prince” should also hear Erasmus’ brilliant response to Machiavelli!
His writing is very thoughtful and entertaining, and the scholarship is amazing! Clearly, there was a loving hand in the copious and thorough historical research and analysis done for this one.
Beautiful flow and very engaging presentation, over all. Thank you, Dr. Markos!
