Description: From Socrates and the Sophists to Kant, from Augustine to Aquinas and the Reformers, Colin Brown traces the turbulent, often tension-filled, always fascinating story of the thinkers, ideas and movements that have shaped our intellectual landscape. Is philosophy the "handmaiden of faith" or "the doctrine of demons"? Does it clarify the faith or undermine the very heart of Christian belief?"A remarkable tour de force
done with admirable comprehension and an amazing knowledge of the secondary literature relating to these thinkers." —ADRIS Newsletter "A positive contribution to a Christian understanding of the history of ideas." —Southwestern Journal of Theology "Written in remarkably clear and helpful style, [ Christianity & Western Thought
] will be an invaluable aid to the reader who wants simply to obtain an overall picture of the philosophical traditions which have fed into and interacted with Christianity over the centuries." —The Evangelical Quarterly "An excellent textbook for introductory courses in philosophy and theology." —Christianity Today Table of Contents
