The Closing of the Western Mind: The Rise of Faith and the Fall of Reason
A book by the classical historian Charles Freeman
Freeman discusses the relationship between the Greek philosophical tradition and Christianity, primarily in the fourth to sixth century AD. He argues that far from suppressing Greek philosophy, Christianity integrated the more authoritarian aspects of Platonism at the expense of the Aristotelian tradition. He explores the contribution of the Roman emperors to the definition of Christian doctrine, an argument followed up in his 2009 book AD 381. He dates "the reopening of the western mind" to the integration of Aristotle's thought into Christian doctrine by Thomas Aquinas in the thirteenth century.

Great book, GC. It is one enjoyed in our family.

You came to my mind when someone sent me this link to a motorized hunting camper. I thought: "GC can do this one better." Canny.

LOL
I have just started reading the whole series after having watched all the videos in the series. I am amazed at how close the TV series was to the book as usually they make lots of changes along the way.
Happy New Year!
