Before the Stoics, Solomon

di Nicholas Dailey (Autore)

Lamplight Books, 2026

Stoicism is everywhere right now, and many Christians who pick up the Meditations feel they've heard it before. Each of these forty short readings sets a passage from Proverbs beside a passage from one of the great Stoics. You'll see where they agree, and they often agree beautifully. Then you'll see where the Bible goes further: a personal, promise-keeping God rather than a divine reason woven into nature, grace rather than self-sufficiency, resurrection hope beyond courage at the grave, and a Logos who became flesh. The book doesn't baptize Stoicism, and it doesn't caricature it either. It reads Marcus, Seneca, and Epictetus the way Paul talked with the Stoics in Athens: respectfully, gratefully, and without being ashamed of the gospel. Inside the book: 40 daily readings in six parts: What Is in Our Power, Mastering the Passions, Speech and Silence, Wealth and Contentment, Time and Death, and Where the Paths Part Each day pairs Proverbs (Berean Standard Bible) with a Stoic passage from public-domain translations, followed by a reflection, a "Where Solomon Goes Further" section, a practice, and a prayer A plain-English introduction to Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius For Christians who have discovered Stoicism and want to think it through biblically, and for anyone starting a 40-day reset. About 15 minutes a day. Begin any day.
