In the ancient world being a philosopher was a practical
alternative to being a Christian. Philosophical systems offered
intellectual, practical and moral codes for living. By the Middle
Ages however philosophy was largely, though inconsistently,
incorporated into Christian belef. From the end of the Roman Empire
to the Reformation and Renaissance of the sixteenth century
Christian theologians had a virtual monopoly on higher education.
The complex interaction between theology and philosophy, which was
the result of the efforts of Christian leaders and thinkers to
assimilate the most sophisticated ideas of science and secular
learning into their own system of thought, is the subject of this
book. Augustine, as the most widely read author in the Middle Ages,
is the starting point. Dr Evans then discusses the classical
sources in general which the medieval scholar would have had access
to when he wanted to study philosophy and its theological
implications. Part One ends with an analysis of the problems of
logic, language and rhetoric. In Part Two the sequence of topics -
God, cosmos, man - follows the outline of the summa, or systematic
encyclopedia of theology.
