In Biblical Philosophy, Dru Johnson examines how the texts of
Christian Scripture argue philosophically with ancient and modern
readers alike. He demonstrates how biblical literature bears the
distinct markers of a philosophical style in its use of literary
and philosophical strategies to reason about the nature of reality
and our place within it. Johnson questions traditional definitions
of philosophy and compares the Hebraic style of philosophy with the
intellectual projects of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, and Hellenism.
Identifying the genetic features of the Hebraic philosophical
style, Johnson traces its development from its hybridization in
Hellenistic Judaism to its retrieval by the New Testament authors.
He also shows how the Gospels and letters of Paul exhibit the same
genetic markers, modes of argument, particular argument forms, and
philosophical convictions that define the Hebraic style, while they
engaged with Hellenistic rhetoric. His volume offers a model for
thinking about philosophical styles in comparative philosophical
discussions.
