Preview Doctrine and Philosophy in Early Christianity
Description:
The studies in this second collection by Professor Stead investigate the philosophical basis and legitimacy of important statements of early Christian doctrine, focusing on the writings of Arius, Athanasius and Augustine. Arius is shown as a theologian of merit, rather than the monster portrayed by conventional historians, with Athanasius' polemical attacks on him emerging as ill-founded - though Athanasius' own positive teaching is deservedly famous. Augustine appears as not only a masterful theologian, but an enterprising philosopher, albeit one capable of error. His cosmology, often neglected, forms the subject of one of the studies.
