This is a good summary. There's obviously arguments over this stemming from different ideological perspectives, but there is a good quote that "as the Second Temple Jews circumcised Greek philosophy through their tradition, the first Christians baptized it through their faith in Christ".

The early church fathers were men who were educated in both Hellenistic philosophy and the Torah. The language of greek philosophy was very well equipped in the environment of the 1st century, even if you were Jewish, to elucidate the concepts of Christianity. This is still a living legacy of church writing.
