gregoree as you said is a one boy wrecking crew for disgracing the god/man cult of 'Christianity'. But even this fast emerging mystery cult from the ME found most saving graces within the great body of dialogues of philosophers existing already then. Those who reasoned a respect of life, moral excellence, dignity, civilized pursuit of wisdom & perfecting themselves as human beings.
These were not new ideas but full blown discussions by the time any rabbi of that time was born like Jesus. They would have encountered such philosophical discourse from Alexandria , Thebes up thru the Judah/ Decaplois, Syria and into Rome itself, which would include a growing sense of 'oneness' of prime movers. Christianity is just a superstitious god/man cult that still defines its higher ethos thru Hellene philosophy, that would include Judaism as well, Islam as we see now is in the throes of Salafi jihad ideology of puritan totlitariansm..
That first natural emrgence thru accrued observations which studies in the natural sciences begins a sense the world systems that are great interlocking engines which drive the planet & a comprehension of true scale of time, the length, breadth, width,depth & height of things. This is the great achivement of the Hellenes, giving that sense of the true scope of the world's size & ecology if you will, all things balancing & eternally interdependent.
