The Influence of Greek Ideas and Usages upon the Christian Church

Front Cover
Wipf and Stock Publishers, Mar 12, 2003 - Religion - 384 pages
Back in print are Hatch's classic Hibbert Lectures in which he calls into question the influence that Greek ideas had on the historical development of Christian theology.

"The earliest forms of Christianity were not only outside the sphere of Greek philosophy, but they also appealed, on the one hand, mainly to the classes which philosophy did not reach, and, on the other hand, to a standard which philosophy did not recognize."
