philosophy. Augustine was influenced by Plato and the Neo-Platonists like Plotinus. Aquinas was influenced by Aristotle.

Paul was well familiar with Greek philosophers, quoting them. Romans 12-15 makes allusions to Stoicism, and was written to Roman Christians precisely when Seneca, the great Roman Stoic, was extremely well known as Nero’s advisor and previously a Roman Senator.
