| Summary | "The Basis of Early Christian Theism" by Lawrence Thomas Cole is a scholarly treatise written in the late 19th century. This work explores the development and significance of theistic arguments during the early Christian era, particularly how they interacted with Greek philosophical thought. The book is of a philosophical and theological nature, analyzing the essential beliefs about God during the formative years of Christianity and the intellectual climate that surrounded these beliefs. Cole's examination delves into how early Christian thinkers integrated and responded to existing Greek and Roman theistic arguments while establishing a distinct Christian framework. He identifies key figures from both the Greek philosophical tradition and early church fathers, discussing their contributions to theism and the nature of God. The text highlights the shift from abstract philosophical arguments to a more personal and revealed understanding of God through Christ, emphasizing the practical implications of faith over purely rational debate. Through this lens, Cole articulates the unique character of early Christian thought and its reliance on revelation in contrast to the fragmented speculative reasoning of its philosophical predecessors.
