NO COMPROMISE!
Early Christian writers saw the dangers of mixing elements of the pagan worldviews of Greece and Rome with Christianity. Tertullian, an early 3rd century Christian writer, stressed that the biblical worldview must serve as the standard in evaluating all competing worldviews. In his work, What Does Athens Have to do with Jerusalem? he argued that Christians must never compromise their faith. Tertullian's point was that there is no common ground between Athens, the seat of man-centered philosophy, and Jerusalem, the source of godly wisdom and instruction:
"What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem? What concord is there between the Academy and the Church? What between heretics and Christians?"
