The question “What if?” elevates historical studies from a mere descriptive level to a true Geisteswissenschaft. The reviewed collection of fourteen essays undertakes just this approach by putting two contemporaries of the 1st century CE, the Christic apostle Paul and the Stoic philosopher Seneca, into dialogue, although the two of them actually, to our knowledge, never met. As such, this compilation follows in the footsteps of J. N. Sevenster’s seminal book “Paul and Seneca” (Leiden: Brill 1961), and extends the path of its predecessor.

Paul and Seneca in Dialogue assembles an international group of scholars to compare the philosophical and theological strands in Paul and Seneca ?s writings, placing them in dialogue with one another. Arguably, no other first-century, non-Christian writer ?s thoughts resemble Paul ?s as closely as Seneca ?s, and scholars have often found value in comparing Pauline concepts with Seneca ?s writings. Nevertheless, apart from the occasional article, broad comparison, or cross-reference, an in-depth critical comparison of these writers has not been attempted for over fifty years ? since Sevenster ?s monograph of 1961. In the light of the vast amount of research offering new perspectives on both Paul and Seneca since the early 1960s, this new comparison of the two writers is long overdue.
