"Plato made me know the true God, Jesus Christ showed me the way to him." - St. Augustine
In this 19th century classic, B.F. Cocker investigates the relationship between Ancient Greek philosophy and early Christianity in an effort to persuade readers of the secular nature of religion. As Cocker puts it in his preface, he attempted to show that Christianity “does not rest solely on a special class of facts, but upon all the facts of nature and humanity; that its authority does not repose alone on the peculiar and supernatural events which transpired in Palestine, but also on the still broader foundations of the ideas and laws of the reason.”
