La Filosofia Antica, Vol. 1: Esposta e Difesa (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book offers a defense of the ancient theological tradition against modern criticism which asserts that ancient theology was irreparably corrupted by pagan ideas. The author argues that Christian thinkers have always made careful and deliberate use of pagan ideas, especially from the Greek philosophical tradition. This was not done out of ignorance or a naive belief in the truth of paganism, but rather to make Christianity intelligible to educated pagans and to show the superiority of Christian revelation to pagan philosophy. The author demonstrates how this selective use of pagan ideas was not only justified but necessary for the development of Christian thought, and that it continues to be a valuable resource for contemporary theology. This insightful study will be of interest to anyone interested in the history of Christian thought, the relationship between faith and reason, or the enduring relevance of ancient philosophy.
