Book Synopsis
Williams examines the conception of intellect in patristic theology from its beginnings in the work of the Apostolic Fathers to Augustine and Cassian in the early fifth century. She shows that early Christian theology is distinctive in its approach from secular philosophies of its time and modern Christian theology.
