The Middle Platonists and the Church Fathers

Christian or philosopher for a Christian is an oppositional term already. I suppose that one way of thinking about it might have been that you've kind of got the middle Platonists as represented in part by Philo of Alexandria, who I already mentioned. And then Platonism branches off in two directions and there's pagan Neoplatonism and then there is these church fathers. But structurally speaking, I think his system of thought is pretty much the same as a Platonist system of thought.
