Publisher's Synopsis
Plato And Paul: Or Philosophy And Christianity is a book written by James William Mendenhall and first published in 1886. The book is an exploration of the relationship between philosophy and Christianity, specifically comparing the teachings of the ancient Greek philosopher Plato and the teachings of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament.Mendenhall argues that Plato's philosophy and Paul's Christianity share many similarities, particularly in their emphasis on the importance of moral and ethical behavior. He also suggests that both Plato and Paul saw the world as divided between the material and the spiritual, and that they both believed in the existence of an ultimate reality beyond the physical world.Throughout the book, Mendenhall draws on a wide range of sources, including Plato's dialogues and the writings of early Christian theologians, to support his argument. He also discusses the influence of Plato's philosophy on early Christian thought and the ways in which Christian thinkers have engaged with Platonic ideas throughout history.Overall, Plato And Paul: Or Philosophy And Christianity is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between two of the most influential philosophical and religious traditions in Western history.An Examination Of The Two Fundamental Forces Of Cosmic And Human History, With Their Contest, Methods, Functions, Relations, And Results Compared.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
