Abstract
Centuries ago when the Christian religion was beginning to make a serious impact upon the Greco‐Roman world, one of the leading thinkers of the early Church, Tertullian of Carthage, raised the question “What does Jerusalem have to do with Athens?” Just as this was a crucial question at the beginning of the third century, so it is a crucial question in our own time, for the traditions of Jerusalem and Athens are still very much with us. Jerusalem is still a symbol for the religious man, and represents faith, revelation, personal commitment, and the truth of personal experience; Athens remains a symbol for the academic man, and stands for reason, analysis, objectivity, and the truth of research and experiment. The tradition of Jerusalem is carried on by the church and synagogue; the tradition of Athens is upheld by our colleges and universities.
