Routledge Platonism and Christian Thought in Late Antiquity

Explore the complex relationship between ancient philosophy and early religious thought with Platonism and Christian Thought in Late Antiquity. Published by Routledge, this academic volume examines how Christian intellectuals engaged with Platonism during a transformative era. The text looks at how Platonism served as both a pagan competitor and a valuable source of philosophical material for the Christian faith. This collection of studies investigates the transformations that occurred during the reception and interaction between these two traditions. By examining the transmission of cultural content, the contributors show how Platonic material was mediated and integrated into Christian thought. This book is a significant resource for scholars studying the history of ancient Greece, philosophy, and theology in Late Antiquity.
