Throughout she draws on recent scholarly commentaries written by specialists in philosophy, contemporary political theory, classical languages and cultures, and on ancient and early Christian history and theology. Janet Coleman shows that the Greeks and Romans' arguments can be seen as logical and coherent if \u003ci\u003ewe\u003c\/i\u003e can grasp the questions they thought it important to answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e \u003cb\u003eJanet Coleman\u003c\/b\u003e is the Professor of Ancient and Medieval Political Thought in the Government Department at the London School of Economics and Political Science.
