Emerging Christianity and Roman Stoic Philosophy

Abstract

This article is a general outline of a research titled: “About the letters between Seneca and Paul: A meaningful relationship”. General considerations are made on the main research issues and some extracts from the roman stoicism and credible relationship between Paul and Seneca are also discussed. All of the above with the intention of motivating a closer relationship between primitive Christianity, actual philosophy and their mutual implications in which we can infer a certain Christianization of the Roman Hellenistic world, and a Hellenization of Christianity, regarding the mutual relations that were planned between two worldviews in that contemporary time.
