If God has given his perfect Word to be our infallible rule of faith, it would seem unnecessary—or even unacceptable—to use concepts from philosophers like Plato or Aristotle in the development of Christian doctrine. But Dr. Duby argues that, as long as we use philosophical concepts only to explain what the Bible already teaches, we do not undermine our fidelity to Christian doctrine but actually understand the logic of the Bible more deeply.
