Book Description

Excerpt from An Investigation of the Trinity of Plato and of Philo Judaeus: And of the Effects Which an Attachment to Their Writings Had Upon the Principles and Reasonings of the Fathers of the Christian Church On this account I have ever set-a high value upon the knowledge of pagan antiquity, particularly upon an acquaintance with the writings of the phi iosophers of ancient Greece. In them we see the iii human understanding in its natural and unassisted state, putting forth its most vigorous and best directed exertions in the pursuit of truth; and we may thence learn to set a just value upon that communication of wisdom, so pure, so simple, and so unadorned, which is tendered to us in the Gospel of Christ.
