Paul and the Stoa: A Comparison

Paul and the Stoa: A Comparison

  • Semi-Technical
  • David A. deSilva

What was the relationship between the apostle Paul and the Stoic thought of his day? DaSilva interacts with the views of B. Metzger. The study is done by examining simple verbal parallels between Paul and Stoic authors, and continued by examining more extended verbal parallels, conceptual parallels, shared use of topoi and images, shared use of formal elements such as lists of virtues and vices, and natural law.

I rest with the conviction that every word of Christ is true; and what I do not understand I commit to his grace in the hope that I shall understand it after my death John Hus
