Institution:

Bard College

Subject:

Description:

Between the second and fourth centuries B.C.E., Christianity spread through the Roman Empire, largely through philosophical dialogue. The first Christian philosophers did not work with a predetermined system of thought, but forged new ways of thinking during the course of prolonged interaction with their diverse environments. By the end of the period, Gnosticism, Neoplatonism, and Catholicism emerged as welldefined positions, and yet continued in dedicated debate, dialogue, and dispute.
