The Marriage of Neoplatonism and Christianity

Plutarch devoted numerous works to philosophical discussions of religious topics such as the nature of demons or oracles. Amblicus, the neoplatonist hailed from syria, put pagan religious belief at the very centre of his philosophy. They modified the system pioneered by plotinus, making room for the multiplicity of gods and semi divine entities recognized in late antique paganism. So it would seem that any marriage between neo platonism and christianity was bound to be a stormy one. But despite the occasional maritual squabble, christians found in neo platanism a partner worth loving and honoring, if not obeying.
