Author John E. Rexine expounds on the theologies of the great Roman thinkers Plato and Cicero in this essay. While both are more well known for their political philosophies, Rexine’s astute analysis uncovers the religious views embedded in the most famous texts of these two visionaries. John E. Rexine was an author, theologian, and philosopher. He wrote extensively on philosophy, including Religion in Plato and Cicero, An Explorer of Realms of Art, Life, and Thought: A Survey of the Works of Philosopher and Theologian Constantine Cavarnos, and Hellenic Spirit: Byzantine and Post Byzantine.
