Ἔστι γὰρ τῷ ὄντι φιλοσοφία μέγιστον κτῆμα καὶ τιμιώτατον, θεῷ {ᾧ} τε προσάγει καὶ συνίστησιν ἡμᾶς μόνη, καὶ ὅσιοι ὡς ἀληθῶς οὗτοί εἰσιν οἱ φιλοσοφίᾳ τὸν νοῦν προσεσχηκότες.
Indeed, philosophy is a very great and very valuable asset, and it alone leads us to God and brings us together with him; and truly holy are those who give their attention to philosophy..

The newest SAPERE volumes:
The anniversary volume "SAPERE Syntheses" draws conclusions from 25 years of editorial and commentary work. Prominent experts engage in a fascinating dialogue between the sciences, based on ancient voices, on the topics of "truth," "life," "humanity," and "world."
The debates presented in this work concerning the search for God in the light of philosophy and especially the holy scriptures, the belief in Jesus Christ, or the observance of divine law as a path to happiness or salvation offer a treasure trove of discourse for all those interested in culture, religion, philosophy, theology, and ethics in the Roman imperial period, and especially, of course, for those who care about Christian-Jewish interactions and their origins.
This volume brings together contributions from leading experts on Bardesanes of Edessa, the Book of the Laws of the Lands, and his arguments on anthropology, free will, nature, fate, astrology, and eschatology.
This volume presents a new definitive edition of the hymns of Mesomedes (2nd century CE). It contains a new, annotated translation of the Greek text into English and Italian. Supplementary essays explore the texts and their author from interdisciplinary perspectives.
