AB In detailed discussion with philosophical theologians from at least the eighteenth century ce up to the present day, Drozdek surveys and argues with and assesses those Greek-language philosophers from the Milesians to the early Stoics who have spoken overtly of deity, or might be thought to have done, if only on the basis of fragments surviving (some, of course, only in much later Greek and Latin sources). Though the thought is carefully presented, the unargued but explicit criterion deployed is success or failure in anticipating later Christian monotheism as expounded by such as Augustine and Aquinas (pp. 146, 170, 245).
