In studies of early Christian thought, 'philosophy' is often a synonym for 'Platonism', or at most for 'Platonism and Stoicism'. Nevertheless, it was Aristotle who, from the sixth century AD to the Italian Renaissance, was the dominant Greek voice in Christian, Muslim and Jewish philosophy.
Aristotle and Early Christian Thought is the first book in English to give a synoptic account of the slow appropriation of Aristotelian thought in the Christian world from the second to the sixth century. Concentrating on the great theological topics - creation, the soul, the Trinity, and Christology - it makes full use of modern scholarship on the Peripatetic tradition after Aristotle, explaining the significance of Neoplatonism as a mediator of Aristotelian logic. While stressing the fidelity of Christian thinkers to biblical presuppositions which were not shared by the Greek schools, it also describes their attempts to overcome the pagan objections to biblical teachings by a consistent use of Aristotelian principles, and it follows their application of these principles to matters which lay outside the purview of Aristotle himself.
This volume offers a valuable study not only for students of Christian theology in its formative years, but also for anyone seeking an introduction to the thought of Aristotle and its developments in Late Antiquity.

"Aristotle has exerted a good deal of influence on early Christian thinkers, as has been recognized for some time now. This is the first book-length study on the subject and indeed a profound one." - Bryn Mawr Classical Review
"Discussing the philosophical sources of ancient Christian thought, most of us are usually content with the dictum that its development in terms of philosophical arguments was governed by Platonism. As a welcome antidote to such simplification, [Edwards] sets out to show that Peripatetic thinking, especially the interpretative tradition of the Categories, also exerted deep influence on major figures of early Christianity." - The Classical Review
