Porch and Pulpit: Stoic Thought in the Formation of Christian Doctrine
By Mark G. Woodworth
Length16h 16m
About this audiobook
What did the church keep from the Stoics—and what did it refuse?
Long before Marcus Aurelius became a modern source of spiritual advice, the philosophers of the Porch and the Christians of the pulpit were neighbors. Their encounters shaped the language of virtue, emotion, providence, and the care of the soul.
In Porch and Pulpit, Mark G. Woodworth traces that relationship across two thousand years, from Zeno, Epictetus, and Seneca through Paul and the church fathers, the medieval tradition, the Reformation, and the modern Stoic revival.
Organized in six chronological parts, this accessible intellectual history follows the people, texts, and arguments through which ideas traveled and changed hands. It invites both curious Christians and secular readers of Stoicism to examine a long conversation whose questions remain alive today.
