Dionysius the Areopagite |
Also found in: Wikipedia, Hutchinson | 0.56 sec. |
Dionysius the Areopagite(flourished 1st century) Biblical figure, converted by St. Paul. His conversion at Athens is mentioned in Acts 17:34, and he acquired a posthumous reputation largely through confusion with later Christians similarly named. Around AD 500, a series of influential Greek treatises uniting Neoplatonism and Christian theology were forged in his name; the writer, probably a Syrian monk, is now known as Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. |
