摘　　要：在西方文明的两大发源地——希腊和希伯来——分别诞生了哲学和犹太教,基督教实为两大古代文明汇合而生的异果。就柏拉图与摩西的关系,作为基督教护教者,早期教父展现了由不同的立场所构成的光谱:从最初简单拒斥柏拉图,到控诉柏拉图剽窃摩西,到最终礼赞柏拉图为"希腊的摩西",并授予他仅次于摩西及其他先知的二号角色。在此过程中,通过由柏拉图哲学所代表的希腊哲学,基督教突破犹太教的民族性,而走向了"普世化的一神教"。Early church apologists present a spectrum of positions on the relationship of Plato to Moses ranging from sheer amazement to accusations of plagiarism. Tertullian＇ s apologetic activity also starts with a basic rejec- tion of heathen philosophy in ＂Credo quia absurdum＂. It is in the writings of Justin Martyr that we find one of the first deliberate attempts to harmonize Christianity and Platonism. Origen and Clement of Alexandria, together with Pantaenus and the Alexandrian catechetical school, gave Platonism an intellectual and spiritual status equal to that of New Testament writers. Plato＇ s influence on Christianity is discussed mostly in Books VIII and X of The City of God by Augustine. The process of subordination of Plato to Moses reached its climax in the saying of the Pythagorean philosopher Numenius ＂But what is Plato, but Moses speaking in Attic Greek？＂ To make Plato agree with Christian theology was the only way open to those apologists who could not conceive of a universal monotheism which would not take into account the powerful religious tenets of Platonic philosophy.
