The book presents Edwin Hatch's critical examination of the impact of Greek philosophy on Christian theology, arguing that early Christianity emerged independently of Greek thought. It highlights how Christianity attracted those outside the philosophical elite and adhered to values that were often overlooked by philosophical discourse. Hatch's lectures challenge the traditional narrative of theological development, emphasizing the distinct origins and appeal of early Christian beliefs.
