註釋

Are Christianity and philosophy intellectually incompatible? Does philosophical inquiry end at the border of religion, or is there a common ground between them? The author presents a broad panorama of Christian thought to show the various historical attempts to form a Christian philosophy. After examining Christian thought as philosophy, he concludes that no attempt at a Christian philosophical system has been able to achieve the level of universality of Christianity itself. The great strivings of the Fathers, the Scholastics, the Renaissance humanists, the rationalists and the modern-day existential thinkers have all fallen short of the religious completeness of Christianity. The author believes that if the ultimate Christian philosophy has not, as yet, been expressed and verbally elucidated, this does not indicate that the search for a formulation of a Christian philosophy is futile; rather it points to a need for further effort in the seemingly boundless intellectual future.
