One True Life
In this groundbreaking, cross-disciplinary work of philosophy and biblical studies, New Testament scholar C. Kavin Rowe explores the promise and problems inherent in engaging rival philosophical claims to what is true. Juxtaposing the Roman Stoics Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius with the Christian saints Paul, Luke, and Justin Martyr, and incorporating the contemporary views of Jeffrey Stout, Alasdair McIntyre, Charles Taylor, Martha Nussb…
Seneca
This chapter begins the discussion of the Roman Stoics with Seneca. The focus is on five areas that best reflect the recurrent major patterns of Seneca’s language: Death, Fortune, God/Nature, the Passions, and Philosophy.
Traditions in Juxtaposition
This chapter argues that narrative is the indispensable presupposition of a tradition of life. Being able to locate a tradition as a specific type of thing presupposes the narrative that makes the tradition make sense as a tradition in the first place. The chapter establishes that the best – indeed, only – way to grapple with traditions in juxtaposition is to relate their narratives to each other. It then reconstructs both the Stoic and the Chris…
The Art of Retrieval
This essay argues that retrieving insights from the ancient Stoic philosophers for Christian ethics is much more difficult than is often assumed and, further, that the “ethics of retrieval” is itself something worth prolonged reflection. The central problem is that in their ancient sense both Christianity and Stoicism are practically dense patterns of reasoning and mutually incompatible forms of life. Coming to see this clearly requires the reali…
The Grammar of Life
This article explores the interconnection between intellection and life in ancient theology and philosophy by means of a reexamination of Paul's famous Areopagus discourse. Instead of reading the speech as an attempt at theological rapprochement, this essay interprets the speech as a place where fundamentally different grammars for the whole of life come into conflict
Acts 2.36 and the Continuity of Lukan Christology
Acts 2.36 has caused problems for biblical interpreters both ancient and modern. This article examines the various readings and different hermeneutical strategies in the history of interpretation in order to situate the verse within its requisite interpretive context, Luke–Acts. Subsequently, an interpretation of Acts 2.36 is offered in which the verse is seen to express, rather than contradict, Lukan christology
