Epictetus and the New Testament - College of Stoic Philosophers

INTRODUCTION.
The following chapters represent an attempt to
deal with Resemblances in Language, Thought,
and Teaching—together with certain Differences
which exist between the works of Epictetus and
the New Testament. To speak of Language only,
in Epictetus there
are often found the same nouns,
adjectives, pronouns, verbs, verbal forms, prepositions,
conjunctions, particles, the same syntax
as in the New Testament.
The texts used are, for Epictetus, H. Schenkl's
Editio Minor in
the Teubner Series (1898), and for
the New Testament that of Westcott and Hort.
The author has found invaluable Moulton-Geden's
Concordance to the New Testament, and Mrs.
Carter's Translation of the Moral Discourses of
Epictetus in the Everyman's Library (edited by Dr.
W. H. D. Rouse) ; he moreover acknowledges his
indebtedness to Prof J.
H. Moulton, not only for
his writings, but also for many impressions received
during the few years that he had the great privilege
of being his pupil. .
