The Gospel and the Greeks: Did the New Testament Borrow from Pagan Thought?

Did early Christianity borrow essential beliefs and practices from pagan religions and philosophies of the time? No, answers Ronald Nash in this compelling case for the uniqueness of Christian teaching. Part 1 investigates possible influences of Hellenistic philosophy on the New Testament; part 2, the relationship of early Christianity to the pagan mystery religions; and part 3, the relationship between early Christianity and Gnosticism. First released in 1992, The Gospel and the Greeks has been retypeset and includes an annotated bibliography, as well as indexes of persons and subjects. Book jacket.
