From Plato To Christ by Louis A. Markos
Understanding the Countercultural Nature of Christianity
A compact intellectual survey that traces how Greek philosophical themes—above all Platonic and Neoplatonic ideas about the Forms, the Logos, the soul, and the Good—were adopted, adapted, and ultimately fulfilled within early Christian theology; it follows the transmission of these ideas through key philosophers and church fathers, argues for continuity rather than rupture between classical thought and Christian doctrine, and shows how those inherited concepts shaped the moral, metaphysical, and spiritual foundations of the Western intellectual tradition.
