In this groundbreaking, cross-disciplinary work of philosophy and
biblical studies, New Testament scholar C. Kavin Rowe explores the
promise and problems inherent in engaging rival philosophical
claims to what is true. Juxtaposing the Roman Stoics Seneca,
Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius with the Christian saints Paul,
Luke, and Justin Martyr, and incorporating the contemporary views
of Jeffrey Stout, Alasdair McIntyre, Charles Taylor, Martha
Nussbaum, Pierre Hadot, and others, the author suggests that in a
world of religious pluralism there is negligible gain in sampling
from separate belief systems. This thought-provoking volume
reconceives the relationship between ancient philosophy and
emergent Christianity as a rivalry between strong traditions of
life and offers powerful arguments for the exclusive commitment to
a community of belief and a particular form of philosophical life
as the path to existential truth.
