In this light, the article proposes an understanding of Paul’s politics that draws on Stoic ideas in two important places: 13.1-7 (compared with Seneca, De Clementia 1.1-4) and the transition between 13.7 and 13.8 (drawing on the Stoic and Pauline idea of (see pdf for character), ‘as if not’). As a formula for Paul’s Stoicizing politics in Rom. 12-13, the note suggests the following: engagement in this world and disengagement from it but total engagement elsewhere. |
