A journey through the tangled history of philosophy and theology
· Trace the history of Western thought
· Engage in modern theological debates
· Grasp the influence of philosophy on theology
Is theology incomprehensible without philosophy? Is philosophy merely human folly? Most take a middle ground, believing that the two can be reconciled.
In Athens and Jerusalem, Gerald Bray shows how history has been shaped by a myriad of attempts to relate philosophy and theology. Bray's tour spans from the early church to the present, pointing out impacts on the church, academy, and society. Athens and Jerusalem offers a lively and accessible chronicle of the relationship between philosophy and theology and how we can think about both today.
