Stoicism and Christianity—two of the world's great wisdom traditions—have been guiding people toward a good life for thousands of years. But how do they compare to each other? Jesus and Stoicism places these two revered traditions side by side to consider how the words of Jesus and the Stoics together can illuminate our path toward ethical understanding and inner peace.
By placing ancient texts, like the New Testament gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, Discourses and Handbook by Epictetus, Moral Letters to Lucilius by Seneca, and more, in dialogue with one another, we get a double dose of the compassion, forgiveness, generosity, and love expressed by these wise and inspiring teachers. Jesus and Stoicism focuses on the shared ethics and way of life common to both traditions.
Whether you're a lifelong Christian, a burgeoning Stoicist, or a philosophy fan, Jesus and Stoicism is a thought-provoking companion to help navigate modern life with ancient wisdom. If you've ever wondered about common ground between Stoic and Christian ethics, you will find insight and inspiration here. Perfect for listeners who are interested in daily wisdom books, Christian self-help, or the intersection of philosophy and religion.
