Stoicism in Early Christianity

---

How usefully do distinctly Stoic ideas illuminate the meaning of first and second century texts? This book suggests that early Christians—the authors of New Testament and noncanonical writings, including some early apologies—were often more influenced by Stoicism than by Middle Platonism. This insight sheds an entirely new light on the relationship between philosophy and religion at the birth of Christianity.
