Description
Christianity is commonly held to have introduced an entirely new and better morality into the ancient world, a new morality that was decidedly universal, in contrast to the ethics of the philosophical schools which were only concerned with the intellectual few. Runar M. Thorsteinsson presents a challenge to this view by comparing Christian morality in first-century Rome with contemporary Stoic ethics in the city. Thorsteinsson introduces and discusses the moral teaching of Roman Stoicism; of Seneca, Musonius Rufus, and Epictetus. He then presents the moral teaching of Roman Christianity as it developed during the same period, offering a nuanced examination of how these two influential systems of thought shaped morality in ancient Rome and challenging conventional assumptions about early Christian ethics.

Key Features

Oxford University Press publication offering scholarly analysis of Roman Christianity and Stoicism in first-century Rome.

Comparative study of moral teachings by Seneca, Musonius Rufus, and Epictetus alongside early Christian ethics.

Challenges the traditional view that Christianity alone introduced universal morality to the ancient world.
