In this paper, I’m going to first give a possible reason to why Judith Stark says combining platonism and Christianity is a daunting task. Then, I will give some examples from Augustine and Hildegard’s writing in which I notice the influence of Plato.
The writings of plato that I have read so far teach me one thing. I notice in order to really understand the reading very well, I need to fade away any memory or prior knowledge I had before, either that is concerning my understanding of life, death or anything else. In those memory are Christian beliefs that I held and believe to be true. So, combining the ideas from Platonism and Christianity is/will be a “daunting task” like Judith Starks puts it. Although some Bible writers were influenced
