| Résumé : | The historian of western culture cannot travel far without discovering that the roots of many twentiethcentury questions lie in the ancient dialogue between the early Christians and the culture of the old classical world. This book takes three Christian thinkers, Justin, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, and shows what the debate looked like from the Christian side. It draws on the pagan critics of the Church to illustrate the case the Christians had to answer. The examination of the Christian synthesis illustrates the extent to which penetrating criticism of the classical tradition was combined with a profound acceptance of its humanism. |
