How did Christian thinkers balance the wisdom from Greco-Roman thought with Christian theology?

Also, what balance was developed between faith and reason? If anyone can give me a slight insight into what these questions mean, it'd be greatly appreciated. My own pathetic research is failing me.|||For your first homework question: scroll up and search Yahoo.com for "Aristotle".


For your second homework question: scroll up and search Yahoo.com for "Aquinas".|||It's along story, as you likely know.





Read "Lost Christianities" by Bart Ehrman, cheap from Amazon. He's peer reviewed, Ph. D, and Chair of Rel. Studies. Author of more than 20 books, all used in college and grad classes in Religious Studies. This book outlines the problems and history of the first 300 years of Christianity.





Hugely interesting.|||My research has shown that Greco-Roman thought was part of the foundation of Christianity. "Jesus, Interrupted" is another excellent Bart Ehrman book.





The Jesus story is a myth.





Rev. Neil|||Kaili, don't listen to those people who recommend you to read Bart Ehrman's book. He is a lost unregenerate apostate who doesn't know diddly squat.





I suggest you read books by F. F. Bruce or Everett Ferguson.|||Your research failed because Christianity was never meant to appeal to the intellect. If one were to closely examine the Christian bible that fact would become patently obvious.
