Just briefly I will list a few of the historical issues within Christian philosophy. First there would be the philosophical issue of theism in general: Namely, the existence of God. Philosophical reasoning for theism has historically been given in the form of cosmological, teleological, axiological, and/or ontological arguments. Generally these arguments are given together as pieces of a whole foundation of reasoning. Second there is the issue of the "coherence of theism" or the analysis of the concept of God. This deals with not only the characteristics or attributes which define the "nature" of the concept of God, but also with how they are all rationally interconnected. Generally the attributes are as follows: Necessity, aseity, incorporeality, omnipresence, eternity, omniscience, simplicity, immutability, omnipotence, and goodness. These attributes, far from, arbitrarily selected, usually follow necessarily from either the nature of the arguments put forth for God's existence, or from one another. Moving more specifically to Christian philosphy, there are topics of creation, providence, and miracle. There are philosophical issues involving the Trinitarian God: Logos Christianity, Modalism, Arianism, Anti Social Trinitarianism, Social Trinitarianism, Functional Monotheism, Group mind Monotheism, etc. Also concerning the incarnation and Christology. Furthermore, Christian theology has it's own subcategories of thought and study such as Theology Proper, Pneumatology, Revelation, Creation, Ecclesiology, Soteriology, Eschatology, Prayer and meditation, Missiology, Patriology, Doxology etc. all of which regularly involve philosophical study. The thought and beliefs which characterize a Christian worldview obviously have implications as well for numerous areas within areas of philosophy which are not of themselves necessarily Christian subjects: the subject of morality, for instance, or metaphysics and ontology would be important ones. Christianity is a unique realm of thought, experience, and praxis and as such it can, and regularly does employ philosophical principles within it's own reflection. However there are no specifically "Christian" principles of philosophy.

Can you list the Principle Christianized philosophical issues?
I'm not sure I understand your question. It appears you are asking what philosophical (study of man) issues have been taken up by Christianity (theology, religion). Since Christians believe God has, is, and always will be and that God created man at a given point in time, I believe they would argue philosophical issues have not been Chrisianized, but Christian issues have been philosophicalized. With that in mind, I can give a very generalized list of topics both Christianity and philosophy address: 1.) The nature of man 2.) Man's purpose on earth 3.) Man's need for a Savior 4.) The role of God in men's lives. 5.) Man serving God or man serving self. 6.) Societal issues of all types And the list could go on and on. I'm not sure if this is even close to what you were asking, but maybe others can add their comments and be more specific.
Why was it important for Greek philosophical thought to be cast out during the growth of Christianity in Europe?
One of the distinguishing features of the western Christianity, going back even as far as the second century AD, was that it was not as influenced by Greek philosophical thought as Christianity in the eastern half of the Roman Empire. It helped to give western Christianity different emphases than those found in the eastern Christianity. I cannot think of any substantial change that happened in Christianity in Europe as a result of "Greek philosophical thought being cast out of Christianity in Europe." The biggest change in Christianity in Europe arose from the Reformation. Even on the Catholic side, this resulted in the decisions of the Council of Trent, which eliminated many of the abuses identified by Martin Luther, but without making the changes in doctrine that he called for. The changes in Christianity at the time of the Reformation resulted from closer attention to the teachings of Christ, not from casting out Greek philosophical thought.
Why is Christianity studied in a philosophy class?
Philosophy is concerned with issues such as ontology (the nature and structure of being) and epistemology (the nature of and limits to human knowledge), as well as ethics. As such, the study of a religion such as Christianity would be included in a modern philosophy class. This leads to philosophical questions such as whether or not God exists, and how we should arrive at a conclusion, if at all.

Every philosophical question will raise further philosophical questions: Does God exist? What do you mean by "God"? "exist"? "Does"? What do you mean by "mean"? Is there "meaning"? These are all legitimate philosophical questions.
What were some of the philosophical concerns of Aristotle?
