Thank you for taking the time to reply. I am a philosopher, but not the kind you will find in the classroom. One, though, that I respect is Daniel B. Wallace, author of some fine books on Koine grammar, and papers on hermeneutics, the science of interpretation.

One of the faults of Christian doctrine has been the following of Platonic models by early patristics in distorting the gospel doctrines given by Christ to his Apostles (including Paul), which has resulted in Roman and Reformers' catholicism, a deep flaw in the transmission of anti-Nicene thought.

Why don't you do a paper on the wedding of Platonism with Scriptural doctrine, and see how it has diluted the "gospel" as usually preached today?

You might find that a very interesting and fruitful ground of study.

Thank you for these insights. I had never thought on this before. . . .

Sorry, I let this slip. I meant "ante-Nicene thought"
