Paul and the Popular Philosophers

Klappentext These studies continue a tradition of scholarship that flourished around the turn of the century when new editions of ancient philosophical sources were published. Professor Malherbe! however! widens the scope to include other philosophical traditions. He recognizes and identifies the influences of Platonists! Peripatetics! Cynics! Stoics! Epicureans! and Pythagoreans. These popular philosophers aimed at moral reform; they shared both in their substance and in the techniques employed. Yet! they need to be distinguished in order to discern their influence! if any! on Paul.
