Athenagoras: Philosopher and Theologian. By David Rankin
Is there a need for a new discussion of Athenagoras simply because it is 38 years since Barnard published the last such book in English?

As we quickly learn from the introduction, little is known of the life or milieu of this author, and the chief subject of any study will be the relation between the system that he preaches in the name of the Church and the teachings of philosophers in his own day. |
