En savoir plus sur le livre

The study delves into the interplay between self, the divine, and community in the writings of Paul and Epictetus, focusing on reflexive pronouns in their texts. It highlights how Epictetus's use of reflexive constructions reflects his ethic of rational self-interest, modeled after a rational deity. In contrast, Paul's reflexive phrases reveal a theology emphasizing interconnectedness and community ethics, rooted in the narrative of Christ. Ultimately, the work contrasts Epictetus's rational self-concern with Paul's communal focus, showcasing their differing approaches to self-realization and ethics.
