Ancient & Medieval Philosophy -- David L. Rouse
Neo-Platonism and Christianity
- Though most of the neo-Platonists were pagan, and some, like Porphyry, strongly anti-Christian, the philosophical positions they develop contribute significantly to the Judeo-Christian-Islamic tradition of monotheism.
- Their account of how the many could develop out of the one, and the role of the Logos in that development, invites a synthesis of philosophy and scripture.
