The text says much knowledge is gathered from the controversial treatises of the early Christian Fathers, written with propagandist zeal in the heat of their struggle against Paganism, and that their statements must be used with cautious criticism. The text says the average Hellene had no sacred books which dictated to him any views concerning the origin of the world or the constitution of nature. The text says the relations of Greek philosophy to Greek religion is a great and complex subject, the theme of many modern treatises.
