There are special times of movement in the history of ideas, and
one such time - as the author of this study shows - was the second
half of the second century, when Christian thought showed fresh
vigour. By concentrating on five seminal Christian thinkers of the
second century (Justin, Athenegoras, Irenaeus, Clement of
Alexandria, and Tertullian), Eric Osborn illustrates how it was
that Christianity made monotheism axiomatic to its central
doctrinal claims while adapting, too, to the peculiar circumstances
in which it developed. The stimulus for new thought came from the
objections of the state, philosophers, Jews, Gnostics, and Marcion,
who in different ways denied the Christian claim to faith in one
God. In response, Christian thinkers argued for one God who was the
first principle of being, goodness, and truth. In its presentation
of the lively beginning which brought Christianity and classical
thought together, this book casts light on the growth of the
European intellectual tradition.
