Table of ContentsReviewsScholars of early Christian theology owe a debt of gratitude to Edwards for shining a light on the traces of Aristotle's philosophical legacy in late antique Christianity. Of the book's many achievements, the most welcome may be its simultaneous affirmation of the power of the Christian perspective and dismantling of the unqualified assertion that Platonism was the sole source of pagan philosophy upon which early Christians drew. In this way, Edwards' study joins a contiguous body of scholarship exploring how early Christians also adapted Stoicism. -Alexander H. Pierce, Reading Religion Aristotle has exerted a good deal of influence on early Christian thinkers, as has been recognized for some time now. This is the first book-length study on the subject and indeed a profound one. - Bryn Mawr Classical Review ""Aristotle has exerted a good deal of influence on early Christian thinkers, as has been recognized for some time now.

As a welcome antidote to such simplification, [Edwards] sets out to show that Peripatetic thinking, especially the interpretative tradition of the Categories, also exerted deep influence on major figures of early Christianity."" - The Classical Review Author InformationMark Edwards has been Tutor in Theology at Christ Church, Oxford, and University Lecturer in Patristics for the Faculty of Theology (now Theology and Religion) since 1993.
