Philosophy is an enterprise that was construed in various ways by early Christian theologians. These essays examine the relation between philosophy, the New Testament and the exegetical works of patristic interpreters. Though scholars often recognize the significance of philosophical traditions for allegorical interpretation, they have paid less attention to early Christianity as a kind of ancient philosophy, i.e., a philosophical way of life and art of exegesis. This volume scrutinizes in new depth how early Christian authors integrated philosophical concepts and practices into their interpretation.
Athanasios Despotis is Professor at the Protestant Theological Faculty of the University of Bonn. He also holds a research position at the Theological Faculty of the University of Bern and is research associate at the Department of New Testament of the University of Pretoria.
James Buchanan Wallace is Professor of Religion at Christian Brothers University in Memphis, Tennessee, USA.
