RT Book T1 Saving one another: Philodemus and Paul on moral formation in community T2 Ancient philosophy & religion JF Ancient philosophy & religion A1 Allison, Justin Reid LA English PP Leiden Boston PB Brill YR 2020 UL https://ixtheo.de/Record/1700278045 AB "In "Saving One Another: Philodemus and Paul on Moral Formation in Community" Justin Reid Allison compares how the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus and the Christian apostle Paul envisioned the members of their communities helping one another to grow into moral maturity. Allison establishes that Philodemus and Paul are more similar than previously noticed in their conception and practice of moral formation in community, and that these similarities offer a critical opportunity to consider important differences between the two as well. By deepening the comparison to include differences alongside similarities, and to include theological and socio-economic facets of communal moral formation, Allison shows that Philodemus and Paul uniquely shed fresh light on one another's texts when understood in comparative perspective"-- NO Includes bibliographical references and index CN B598.P44 SN 9789004434004 K1 Philodemus : approximately 110 B.C.-approximately 40 B.C K1 Bible : Epistles of Paul : Theology K1 Moral Development K1 Communities K1 Communities : Religious aspects : Christianity K1 Hochschulschrift
