From Plato to Christ
How Platonic Thought Shaped the Christian Faith
What does Plato have to do with the Christian faith?
Quite a bit, it turns out. In ways that might surprise us, Christians throughout the history of the church and even today have inherited aspects of the ancient Greek philosophy of Plato, who was both Socrates's student and Aristotle's teacher.
Understanding the influence of Platonic thought on the Christian faith
Louis Markos offers careful readings of some of Plato's best-known texts and then traces the ways that his work shaped the faith of some of Christianity's most beloved theologians, including Gregory of Nyssa, Augustine, Dante, and C. S. Lewis.
Guidance for readers
With Markos's guidance, readers can ascend to a true understanding of Plato's influence on the faith.
