Oh? You know anything about Greek Stoic thought? It looks like it will be virgin territory for you.

There's nous and logos from the Stoics. The Form of the Good from Plato, the demiurge from his Timaeus. There's the Unmoved Mover from Aristotle.

John borrows logos as a term for Christ. Aquinas borrows wholesale from Aristotle. Augustine borrows from Plato. The debates over how much Greek speculations influenced Christian thinking go back nearly 2,000 years.
