The Religion of Plutarch: A Pagan Creed of Apostolic Times is a book written by John Oakesmith that explores the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Greek philosopher Plutarch. Plutarch was a prominent figure in the second century AD and his works have had a significant impact on Western thought and literature. The book examines Plutarch's religious views, which were influenced by the pagan beliefs of his time. Oakesmith argues that Plutarch's religious creed was similar in many ways to the apostolic creed of early Christianity, and that it was a significant influence on the development of Christian theology. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Plutarch's religious philosophy. Topics covered include Plutarch's views on the nature of the divine, his beliefs about the afterlife, and his ideas about the relationship between humans and the gods. Throughout the book, Oakesmith draws on a wide range of sources, including Plutarch's own writings, as well as the works of other ancient philosophers and theologians. He also provides a detailed analysis of the historical and cultural context in which Plutarch lived, which helps to shed light on the development of his religious beliefs. Overall, The Religion of Plutarch: A Pagan Creed of Apostolic Times is a fascinating exploration of ancient Greek philosophy and religion, and its influence on the development of Western thought. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of religion, philosophy, or theology.1902. This essay is about Plutarch a Greek philosopher who was influenced by Platonic dualism.
