2. When Athens Met Jerusalem
An accessible introduction to how Greek philosophical ideas and Jewish religious thought encountered and shaped early Christian theology and the Western intellectual tradition, tracing exchanges, adaptations, and tensions between reason and revelation across antiquity and the medieval period; it surveys key concepts—God, the soul, law, and virtue—and important figures from classical philosophers through Hellenistic Judaism and the Church Fathers to show how the meeting of these traditions produced both creative syntheses and enduring conflicts that still influence theology and culture.
