What is Augustine’s “verdict” about the importance and limitation of classical wisdom for the Christian?
Augustine decided that classical wisdom is quite important for the Christian, but that truth comes from the Scripture. He agrees that man needs to be led out of the "cave" and into reality, but that it is God that does that, not man. Classical wisdom for the Christian is good to know, and should be known , but should also be known to be pagan, and not the same type of truth as the Scripture is.
