considers the significance of Jesus for some prominent contemporary
philosophical topics, including epistemology and the meaning of life.
What, if anything, does Jesus of Nazareth have to do
with philosophy? This question motivates this collection of essays from leading
theologians, philosophers, and biblical scholars.
Part I portrays Jesus in his first-century
intellectual and historical context, attending to intellectual influences and
contributions and contemporaneous similar patterns of thought.
Part II examines how Jesus influenced two of the most
prominent medieval philosophers. It considers the seeming conceptual shift from
Hebraic categories of thought to distinctively Greco-Roman ones in later
Christian philosophers.
Part III considers the significance of Jesus
for some prominent contemporary philosophical topics, including epistemology
and the meaning of life. The focus is not so much on how ‘Christianity’ figures
in such topics as on how Jesus makes distinctive contributions to them.
