Description
Christian theology has strayed from its New Testament roots over time. As the Church Fathers lost their understanding of sound interpretive principles, Greek philosophy began to influence Christian thought. Middle Platonism and Neoplatonism, in particular, have had a lasting impact on Christian theology. The external doctrines derived from Pagan philosophy were adopted by the Eastern Church and carried into the Western Church, with repeated revivals in the Medieval period as Scholasticism, Mysticism, and Catholic dogma. These heterodoxies can still be seen in modern elements of Mysticism, Contemplative Prayer, Sacramentalism, Sacerdotalism, and Universalism. This book examines the negative influence of these external influences on Christian theology, providing an objective review of Church history.
