RE: What It Means To Be A Stoic Christian - Daily Blog 057

in #christianity6 years ago

It's interesting that you post about Stoicism. I just started reading the Gregory Hays translation of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations a few days ago. I have read the book many times over the years, but this translation is new to me.

(So far I am enjoying it, btw. Having read it translated into older forms of English so many times, reading a very modern translation is bring new life to the dead words)

I'm glad to hear you are opening to reading and studying other philosophies. I know many Christian schools teach a good grounding in world religion and philosophy (some of the best Buddhist and Eastern thought conversations I have ever had have been with Christian ministers) but I also know that many Christians avoid anything other than the Bible.

I remember coming across it a while ago and your post reminded me. (Btw the great courses daily is a great resource to subscribe to if you like random bits of knowledge)

Anyway, it's interesting to read your thoughts on the matter. Thanks :)
