An Illustrated Brief History of Western Philosophy, ch. 6
This chapter covers early Christian philosophy after Jesus through Boethius and Philoponus. Walking through some of the major theological/philosophical decisions of the early church about the nature of Jesus, the incarnation, and the trinity, Kenny stumbles through a very technical and historical debate. He then moves on to discuss a bit about Augustine. I was surprised to see that Augustine was not given more "space" since he shapes most of the philosophical thought for years to come. He then moves to Boethius and Philoponus, two philosophers I had not spent much time getting to know.
