Christianity's Roots Go Much Deeper than Judaism...

Описание: Discover how ancient Greek philosophy, particularly Platonism, fundamentally shaped Christian theology and doctrine in this deep dive into Christianity's philosophical origins. From early Church Fathers like Augustine and Justin Martyr to Philo of Alexandria's theological synthesis, this video explores how Christianity absorbed Greek philosophical concepts including the Logos and Platonic cosmology. We examine Nietzsche's claim that "Christianity is Platonism for the people," trace ancient Near Eastern influences, and reveal how Thomas Aquinas integrated Aristotelian philosophy into Christian thought. Learn how early Christian communities developed doctrines like the Trinity through sophisticated philosophical reasoning, creating a revolutionary synthesis of pre-existing philosophical and mythological traditions that reshaped Western civilization.
