Clement of Alexandria and Origen both show evidence of Platonic influence. Even Hippolytus thought Platonism that "which has come nearest to Christian faith." (Refutation, 8.9.)

I have not read Taylor Marshall's book (I hope to do so), but I would say that he is traveling in the right direction. Carl Sommer Mike,
