The Platonic Tradition in English Religious Thought is a scholarly book written by W. R. Inge. The book explores the influence of Plato's philosophy on English religious thought from the Middle Ages to the modern era. Inge argues that Plato's ideas, particularly his concept of the Forms or Ideas, have played a significant role in shaping Christian theology and spirituality in England. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the relationship between Platonic and Christian ideas of God, the nature of the soul, the problem of evil, and the concept of beauty. Inge also discusses the influence of Neoplatonism, the Renaissance, and the Romantic movement on English religious thought. The book is a valuable resource for scholars of philosophy, theology, and intellectual history, as well as anyone interested in the intersection of philosophy and religion.1926.

This short course of lectures must be taken for what it is, a plea for the recognition of a third type of Christian thought and belief, by the side of the two great types which are usually called Catholic and Protestant. It is as the religion of the Spirit that Inge pleads the cause of what he calls the Platonic tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
