The Relationship between Philosophy and Religion in Christology in Boethius's Thought Relying on Theological Treatises and the Consolation of Philosophy

The present study uses an analytical-descriptive method to explain the relationship between philosophy and religion in Boethius’ Christology. For this purpose, three things are done in the Theological Treatises as a representative of Boethius' theological views: 1. Determining and explaining the theological problem that Boethius sought to answer in Christology. 2. Explain components such as: rational explanation of "Trinity" with the help of the category of relation, precise definition of "person" and "nature" in the issue of "Trinity", Demonstrating the intellectual and narrative weakness of the views of Euthychius and Nestorius, as well as emphasizing the distinction between nature and the person through whom Boethius solves the problem. 3. Boethius' final answer to this theological question. In the Consolation of Philosophy as the representative of Boethius' philosophy, we seek to examine two issues: 1. Does this treatise, as some have claimed, lack any Christian symbolism or teaching? 2. Does Boethius explicitly question Christian teachings in this treatise, or does he not merely explicitly refer to Christianity? Examining these cases, it was concluded that in the Theological Treatises, Boethius saw the Christian faith in a rational explanation in agreement with reason; in the Consolation of Philosophy he saw no need to refer directly to Christian teachings; he seeks the salvation of reason, and this has no conflict with his Christian faith.
