{"product_id":"doctrine-and-philosophy-in-early-christopher-stead-9780860788300","title":"Doctrine and Philosophy in Early Christianity: Arius, Athanasius, Augustine","description":"The studies in this second collection by Professor Stead, which includes three pieces hitherto unpublished, investigate in detail the philosophical basis and legitimacy of important statements of early Christian doctrine, focusing on the writings of Arius, Athanasius and Augustine. Arius is shown as a theologian of merit, rather than the monster portrayed by conventional historians, with Athanasius' polemical attacks on him emerging as ill-founded - though Athanasius' own positive teaching is deservedly famous. Augustine appears as not only a masterly theologian, but an enterprising philosopher, albeit one capable of error. His cosmology, often neglected, forms the subject of one of the unpublished studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christopher Stead\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 086078830X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780860788300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2000\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2001 pg. 12","brand":"Christopher Stead","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48441371590911,"sku":"9780860788300","price":235.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efc62f4a-157f-4f26-9a49-491322f6d550.jpg?v=1777190463","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/doctrine-and-philosophy-in-early-christopher-stead-9780860788300","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
