Christianity and Greek Philosophy

Brilliant! B.F. Cocker holds, in fine balance, the tension between Greek Spontaneous and Reflective Thought and Christ’s and His Apostles’ Positive Teaching for readers to appreciate the secular nature of religion. Cocker illustrates how Christianity stands upon the facts of both nature and humanity, emphasizing that Christianity gains its authority from the Divine events in Palestine and the broader foundations of the laws of reason. Reason and the God-given yearnings of the human heart are the germinal forces of history which developed under the first-ordained conditions, under God’s everlasting control.
