Aristotle Clarifies the Christian Faith

from Ave Maria in the Afternoon Segments · host Dr. Marcus Peter

When Christians of any age or denomination debate the nature of the good life, the soul, or free will, their thought process is based on Aristotelian principles. Though not a Christian himself, Aristotle made full use of general revelation to arrive at deep truths about the nature of God, human identity, and the universe. We explore his thought with Louis Markos.Further ReadingFrom Aristotle to Christ: How Aristotelian Thought Clarified the Christian FaithGuest InfoLouis Markos is the author most recently of From Aristotle to Christ: How Aristotelian Thought Clarified the Christian Faith.
