Why does St. Augustine appear to see no conflict between faith and reason ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Note that the Fathers of the Church, along with other intellectually sophisticated Christian writers of the first few centures A.D., generally sided with the philosophical enlightenment in opposition to Greek and Roman paganism. (Remember Plato's opposition to the poets in the Republic.) So even though Christianity brought along its own story, the early Christians were insistent that this story was true in a sense that opened it up to philosophical scrutiny. Thus it was natural for the Christians to define the doctrines of the Trinity and the Incarnation by making use of metaphysical notions borrowed from the Greeks.
