Maggiori informazioni sul libro

The exploration focuses on the interplay between the self, the divine, and interpersonal relationships in the writings of Paul and Epictetus. It analyzes reflexive pronouns in their texts, revealing how Epictetus's ethic emphasizes rational self-interest aligned with a rational deity, while Paul's use of reflexive phrases articulates a theology and ethics rooted in community and the indwelling Christ. The study contrasts their views, highlighting that for Epictetus, caring for others aids self-realization, whereas for Paul, it represents a communal ethic opposing self-interest.
