Resumen de Aristotle and Early Christian Thought by Mark Edwards (review)

Nicolò Sassi

  • [...]only certain works (or certain sections) of Aristotle were used. In the afterword he writes, "As I said in the Preface, no Christian of the patristic era is strictly an Aristotelian; conflicts between philosophy and Scripture merely exposed the limitations of philosophy, and hence there were no dilemmas such as a mediaeval thinker might encounter when he found the Church and Aristotle to be at odds with one another" (194–95). Despite this stark binary opposition that underlies his argument, Edwards has provided a detailed study whose major achievement is, in the opinion of this reviewer, bringing to light the complex and problematic dimensions of the term "Aristotelian" in early Christian theological and philosophical thought.
