Early Theologians
Church HistorySteve Gregg
Steve Gregg discusses the rise of monasticism and the emergence of the earliest Christian theologians in the second to fourth centuries. He explains that these theologians, such as Origen and Clement of Alexandria, merged Christian ideas with Greek philosophy and developed a method of Scripture interpretation that relied on allegory. Gregg highlights the key contributions and beliefs of these early theologians, including the concept of three layers of meaning in Scripture, the ransom theory of atonement, and the idea that individuals can choose to become Christian on their own.
