Paul and the Stoics

Seeks to do for the study of Paul and Stoicism what E. P. Sanders did for Paul and Judaism. Instead of making a brick-to-brick analysis, Pedersen provides the first comprehensive building-to-building comparison of how the two religious/philosophical systems functioned. Moves through the major letters of Paul (e.g., Philippians, Galatians, and Romans), carefully documenting Paul's indebtedness to Stoic thought.
