The Gospel of John and Stoicism share significant vocabularies and terms such as Logos and Pneuma. But do they indicate a shared understanding of God, the world and living well?
The Gospel of John and Stoicism share significant vocabularies and terms such as Logos and Pneuma. But do they indicate a shared understanding of God, the world and living well? Fergus J. King suggests that such claims become unlikely when detailed analyses of the two traditions are conducted and compared. The first step in his examination looks at evidence of potential engagement between the two traditions historically and geographically. Examinations of their different views on living well, God, and the world reveal worldviews which are far from identical. In particular, the two traditions differ radically in their depictions of the relationship between God and the world, and what one does to live well.
