Colin Brown - from the introduction since its publication two decades ago. Colin Brown"s Philosophy & the Christian Faith has become a classic survey of the interaction between Christiantiy and Western thought from the Middle Ages to the mid-twentieth century. Recent years, however, have suggested the need for a revised and expanded version. one which would span the entire period from the ancient world to the present. In response Brown is writing an entirely new work in two volumes. This book, volume 1, covers the period from the ancient world to the Age of Enlightenment. Volume 2, forthcoming, will cover nineteenth-and twentieth-century philosophy. Nonspecial ists and specialists alike will find in these vlumes a lively introduction to the people and ideas that have shaped our intellectual landscape. Colin Brown is professor of systematic theology and dean of the Center for Advanced Theological Studies at Fuller Theo- logical Seminary. He served as the editor of The New International Dictionary of New Testament Theology and is the author of several books, including Miracles and the Critical Mind, History and Faith, and Jesus in European protestant Thought.
