Philosophy, the Handmaiden of Theology

Authors

  • Albert Henrichs

Abstract

The early Christian notion of (secular) philosophy as a preliminary to theology derives from Philo’s allegorical reading of Abraham and Hagar (Gen 16), an Alexandrian approach to interpretation that was then used by Clement, Origen, and Didymus.
