Paul and Epictetus on Law A Comparison

Acknowledging that Stoicism permeated Paul's intellectual milieu, Huttunen compares Paul's sayings of law with those of Epictetus drawing comparisons as a result of careful methodological considerations.

Niko Huttunen is a Researcher in New Testament studies at the University of Helsinki, Finland.
