By applying it. Where are you suggesting logic isn't up to the task?

Good question. What does Athens have to do with Jerusalem? -- was the famous formulation of it.

The answer is, we can because universal Wisdom, -- the wisdom of Socrates and Aristotle, -- is of Christ also. "The spirit of the Lord hath filled the whole world (Wis. 1:7).

It is not coincidental that the New Testament was written in Greek, and the foundational version of the Old Testament, the Septuagint, is in Greek also. We are the new guests at the wedding.
