Early Christian Thought and the Classical Tradition: Studies in Justin, Clement, and Origen (1966 Chadwick), book

Early Christian Thought and the Classical Tradition: Studies in Justin, Clement, and Origen (1966) is a book by Henry Chadwick.

Abstract

"This book takes three Christian thinkers, Justin, Clement of Alexandria, and Origen, and shows what the debate looked like from the Christian side. It draws on the pagan critics of the Church to illustrate the case the Christians had to answer. The examination of the Christian synthesis illustrates the extent to which penetrating criticism of the classical tradition was combined with a profound acceptance of its humanism."--Publisher description.
