Many historians agree that the philosophical systems of Platonism and Stoicism had an important role in the efforts of the early Church to communicate the message of the Gospel to unbelievers, and even in informing some early Christians' interpretations of the writings of Paul and others.
According to historians, **did any other philosophical systems have a similar level of influence early in the life of the Church?**
