KERBS, Raúl. Philosophical Assumptions of the Church Fathers: God and Creation. Enfoques [online]. 2014, vol.26, n.1, pp.31-55. ISSN 1669-2721.

This article tries to show that early Church Fathers didn´t take the basic presuppositions of their theology from the Scriptures but from Greek philosophy. Furthermore, it demonstrates that they resorted to Greek philosophy to justify their procedure. In doing so, they abandoned the biblical identity of Christianity. Specifically, this article evinces it through a study of the early Church Father's doctrine of God and Christ, and St. Augustine's doctrine of the creation of the world.

Palabras clave : Philosophical presuppositions; Church Fathers; St. Augustine; Creation of the world; Timelessness; Time; Presuposiciones filosóficas; Padres de la Iglesia; San Agustín; Creación del mundo; Atemporalidad; Tiempo.
