Video description:
Can Jesus’ teachings be read alongside the great philosophers of antiquity? What do his teachings have to say about the human experience that is distinct from Socrates, or Epictetus? What exactly is the “soul,” or the “heart,” and how are they transformed in response to what Jesus taught in the Gospels? What does this mean for faith today, for reading the scripture, and for knowing who God is? This (and so much more!) is what Daniel Austin Napier’s outstanding book is all about.
