About this listen
Christianity wasn't born in a bubble. In the intellectually vibrant world of the Roman Empire, a new faith collided with centuries of Greek philosophical thought. This clash sparked a revolution in thinking about God, the soul, and the meaning of life.
The Birth of Christian Philosophical Thought delves into the fascinating world of the Church Fathers, the pioneering thinkers who bridged the gap between Christian faith and classical philosophy. From fiery apologists defending Christianity in a pagan world to brilliant system-builders like Augustine of Hippo, this book takes you on an intellectual adventure through the early centuries of the Church.
Discover:
  • How figures like Justin Martyr used Greek concepts like the Logos to explain Christian beliefs.
  • The bold attempts of Clement of Alexandria and Origen to create a comprehensive Christian philosophy.
  • The passionate skepticism of Tertullian and his warning about the potential dangers of relying too heavily on philosophy.
  • Augustine's profound synthesis of faith and reason as he tackled questions of time, free will, evil, and God's grace.
Written in a clear and engaging style for readers of all backgrounds, this book explores the timeless questions asked by these early thinkers and their continuing impact on how we understand the relationship between faith and reason.
