Discover how Aristotelian thought has shaped Christianity through history and remains relevant for Christians today. In a follow-up to his well-loved book From Plato to Christ , renowned scholar Louis Markos takes us on a vigorous and celebratory journey through the work of Plato’s greatest student, demonstrating Aristotle’s often unacknowledged influence on the Christian faith. In Markos’s hands, Aristotle is far from an irrelevant ancient philosopher but is instead an important conversation partner for some of history’s greatest Christian thinkers and a thoughtful guide to today’s most challenging questions. With From Aristotle to Christ , you’ll: • Consider the influence of Aristotle’s thought on the Christian faith. • Carefully analyze several of Aristotle’s best-known texts. • Trace Aristotle’s influence upon many key theologians in Christian history. • Understand Aristotle’s continuing importance for Christians today.
“Louis Markos has done it again! If anything, this book is even more valuable than his earlier From Plato to Christ. Markos shows that, while there are places where Aristotle needs correction, his thought is immensely helpful for Christian reflection on God, human nature, virtue, friendship, politics, and rhetoric.” Matthew Levering, James N. Jr. and Mary D. Perry Chair of Theology at Mundelein Seminary and author of Proofs of God

“The beauty of Louis Markos’s book is the way he introduces the novice to the wisdom of Aristotle to better equip Christianity with a defense of its foundational commitments. In a secular age prone to skepticism, what student can afford not to read Markos and consider the myriad ways Aristotle can clarify what we believe and why?” Matthew Barrett, professor of Christian theology at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and author of The Reformation as Renewal
