About this book

Greek philosophy and Christian revelation meet in Lawrence Thomas Cole's study of arguments for the existence of God. Presented as a doctoral dissertation in 1898, it follows early Christian thinkers from the middle of the second century to the Council of Nicea. Cole first examines the reasoning inherited from Greek and Roman schools, then asks how Christian teachers adapted those arguments to beliefs grounded in revelation.

Attention falls on the difference between proving a claim and accepting a first principle. In the discussion of Clement of Alexandria, the limits of formal reasoning lead into questions about Christ, knowledge and the human mind's ability to understand God.
