(Benjamin Franklin) 1821 1883 Cocker, Benjamin Franklin 10021490 Christianity and Greek Philosophy or, the relation between spontaneous and reflective thought in Greece and the positive teaching of Christ and His Apostles Produced by Juliet Sutherland, Rénald Lévesque and the Online Distributed Proofreaders Europe at http://dp.rastko.net "Christianity and Greek Philosophy" by B. F. Cocker is a theological treatise written in the late 19th century. The work explores the relationship between Greek philosophical thought and Christianity, arguing that Christian truth is deeply interconnected with human understanding and the historical development of ideas. Cocker aims to show that faith does not rest solely on miraculous events but is grounded in the universal truths of nature and humanity, suggesting that philosophy prepares the way for a fuller understanding of Christianity. The opening of the text introduces the author's intention to illustrate how both spontaneous and reflective thought in ancient Greece relates to the teachings of Jesus and his apostles. Cocker reflects on the profound impact of Athenian religious practices and philosophical inquiries, particularly emphasizing the significance of the Apostle Paul's discourse on the "Unknown God" at the Areopagus. He sets the stage for an exploration of Athenian society's intellectual and cultural context, preparing readers to examine how Greek thought contributed to the foundations of Christian belief and the common spiritual yearnings of mankind.
