| Summary: | This is a thought-provoking book. It is O’Leary’s contention that Platonism and the Bible (and, indeed, philosophy and theology generally) are distinct and cannot be synthesized. It is only when the tensions between the two are recognized and perceived in the works of the Fathers that those works can be read aright. In this, he pits himself against those such as Lewis Ayres, who, in Nicea and its Legacy, maintains that Platonism was an aid to the development of Christian thought in the patristic period, and those such as Mark Edwards, who minimizes both the dichotomy between Judaism and Hellenism in Palestine at the time of Christ and the influence of Platonism on Origen’s thought. |
