Christian Philosophy by Étienne Gilson
A concise historical and philosophical survey arguing that Christian thought constitutes a distinct philosophical tradition shaped by the experience of revelation and by medieval syntheses; it traces how patristic insights and medieval thinkers—most notably the great scholastics—reoriented classical metaphysical questions around the priority of existence, the relation of essence and being, and God as cause, and it critiques modern nominalist and immanentist developments for severing philosophy from its grounding in transcendent reality. The work defends a realist, Thomistic-inflected outlook in which faith and reason are complementary, and shows how theological commitments have fruitfully guided metaphysical inquiry and the recovery of a coherent account of being, causality, and knowledge.
