A Christian question

Lmao that is a gigantic fucking question. Read wiki pages on at least the neo platonists, stoics, and scholastics.

Yeah I didn't mean everything leading up to Christianity. I mean major ideas that influenced major themes of Christianity.

There really isn't a general page on this. If there's a good general work that'd be nice but I'm afraid people are quick to reference specific thinkers or movements.


It's a scholarly question

>can maintain an inhabited society without fear of breakdown
Hah, yah funny

> what has philosophy done for Christianity in major ideas?
Next to nothing. Even your example is shit, since God is BOTH in christianity (singularly above and through everything).All that happened was the first christian philosophers relied entirely on Plato and later Aquinas took up Aristotle.

They did so for thousands of years.

Perhaps it's better said they can't live in cosmopolitan society but they're fine outside that. Just the definition of cosmopolitan is pretty wide to them...

Well I'd argue your point if the distinction was made in ot and not nt

That there is a difference between ot and nt implies Greek philosophy was a heavy contributor to the change in direction of judeochristian from a regular monotheistic but essentially syntactically normal pagan god to a more philosophically sound nt
