Annotation |
This article puts forward the theological proposition that Christ completes what the Greeks began; the building of bridges to God. The author draws on Homer, the Stoics, Sophocles tragedy Electra, and Plato’s writings, especially his notion of the ‘perfectly just man’ in the Republic to support her claim. |
