??? oeAn attempt has been made, ??? writes the author in his preface, ??? oeto show that the development of Greek thought and the peculiar character of Judaism necessarily rendered Christ??? (TM)s work different from that of Socrates. While dogmatic theology undoubtedly contains very many elements derived from Greek philosophy, Christianity at its source is in no wise Greek. Philosophy partly prepared the way for it, and originated not a few doctrines which afterwards became incorporated in Christian dogma. This, however, was only a secondary relationship.???

(TM)s own words, ??? oeno pretence is made to trench upon disputed points of creed.??? And this is what makes the book such a useful companion to anyone interested in obtaining an overview which is objective, informative, and all-encompassing.
