Between the Cross and the Logos: The Dialogue Between Paul and Stoicism
By Steven Van de Berg

Step into a profound exploration where ancient wisdom and timeless faith converge. Between the Cross and the Logos invites you into a captivating dialogue between the teachings of the Apostle Paul and the principles of Stoic philosophy.

Imagine Paul standing before the philosophers of Athens, engaging minds shaped by centuries of Stoic reasoning. What unfolds is not a clash, but a fascinating interplay of ideas on virtue, suffering, resilience, and the ultimate purpose of life.

In this insightful work, Steven Van de Berg bridges two profound worldviews-Stoicism, with its focus on reason, self-mastery, and acceptance of fate, and Paul's transformative message of grace, spiritual renewal, and divine love.
