Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Consolation of Philosophy is a text that blends elements of classical philosophy, particularly Neoplatonism, with Christian theology. Boethius discusses the nature of God, free will, and the problem of evil from both philosophical and theological perspectives. While the text was influential in medieval Christianity, it was not banned by the early Church. It is not primarily a mystical text of revelation, nor is it an account of Boethius's conversion or trial.
