The basic doctrine of Christian theology is the faith in God while the core idea of ancient Greek philosophy is logos. Faith and logos make two fundamental features of Western- ers＇ spiritual world, and thus contributed greatly to the development of the Western civilization. The relation between Christian theology and ancient Greek philosophy is realized with the clash of faith and ]ogos. This study, with the developing progress of Christianity as reference, concerns the influence of ancient Greek philosophy upon Christian theology at varies stages. It is conclu- ded that the relation between Christian theology and Greek philosophy shows the succession, promotion, and rebellion of theology to philosophy. That is, the relation between belief and ra- tionality is contradiction, integration, and rupture.
