Early Christianity And Greek Paideia by Werner Wilhelm Jaeger
A study of how the intellectual, moral, and pedagogical ideals of Greek paideia were received, reshaped, and sometimes rejected within the formative centuries of the Christian movement, tracing how classical methods of rhetoric, philosophy, and moral education were employed by Christian teachers to articulate doctrine, form character, and interpret scripture; the work examines the tensions and accommodations between pagan cultural inheritance and new Christian aims, showing how allegorical exegesis, philosophical categories, and educational institutions were adapted to create a distinct Christian intellectual tradition and mode of spiritual formation.
