Wealth Without Guilt. Roland Hill

      Brinton is not at all enthusiastic about Greek thought, however. He points out that the Greek was earthbound, tied to sensual experience, without hope of immortality, and with no belief in a God morally interested in his fate. And although the Greek had some sense of right and wrong, he had no feelings equivalent to what is meant by a sense of sin.

      These Greek philosophies have played an enormous part in shaping Christians’ attitudes toward the world. But we must not conclude that Greek philosophies were readily accepted by Christians. In fact, in the next chapter, we will discuss the struggle between Greek philosophy and Christian thought and discover how Greek philosophy fared.
