Who this is

“He built Christianity's first complete philosophical system, taught the church how to read its own book — and three hundred years after his death, the church condemned him for it.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 50

The big idea, in the book's words:

“The whole cosmos is a rescue operation: free souls fell away from God, the material world is their rehabilitation, and in the end — perhaps — every last one of them comes home.”
— The Great Philosophers, Ch. 50
