Podcast Throwback: What hath Greek Philosophy to do with Christianity?

, · July 19, 2022

It was the church father Tertullian who famously quipped, “What hath Athens to do with Jerusalem?” Many Christians today have joined Tertullian in pondering this question, and have concluded that the answer must be “nothing.” Greek Philosophy, it is assumed, offers nothing whatever to Christianity, and the Christian faith is obscured and tarnished by the incorporation of Greek philosophical ideas. But is this true?

In this episode of the Credo Podcast, Matthew Barrett interviews philosopher and theologian, Peter Kreeft, to examine this very question.
