Prayer in the Ancient Stoic Tradition

With a Comparison to Prayers of the New Testament

Beschreibung

This preliminary study explores the concept and practice of prayer found in the writings of six major Stoic philosophers from the ancient world: Zeno, Cleanthes, Chrysippus, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. Placing these writers in their context within the evolution of Stoic philosophy, and in their socio-religious and historical context, McDowell then characterizes the nature, purpose, and practices of Stoic prayer. A brief comparison with prayer from the New Testament closes the study.

Victoria Chames was one of the first women in the nontraditional profession of firefighter/ paramedic, the second of three careers: Graphic Arts, Fire Service, and Hospital Emergency Room caregiver. She now writes the stories of the challenges and experiences along this life-path, and a deeper theme of a hidden family tragedy. More than a memoir, Victory is an adventure story, a mystery tale, and a first-person window into a remarkable and unapologetic life that proves unequivocally that in spite of the odds - Girls can.
