TMST7316 · Theology and Ministry
Clough School of Theology and Ministry
This course aims to introduce central figures and movements in ancient & medieval thought that have influenced the development and articulation of Christian theology. Beginning with the pre-Socratics, we will survey major trends in the history of philosophy, devoting special attention to Plato and Aristotle and their legacies. We will consider Stoicism (e.g., Seneca), Platonism (e.g., Plotinus), and Arab philosophy in the Middle Ages. Topics include the place of philosophical wisdom in the Bible and ancient notions of "philosophy as a way of life" (Hadot).
