Correspondence Between Paul and Seneca, A.D. 61-65 (Ancient Near Eastern Texts and Studies, V. 12) [Hardcover]

Paul Berry (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0773481664 | ISBN-13: 978-0773481664 | Publication Date: April 1999

This monograph on the correspondance between Paul and Seneca contains facsimile reproductions of 14 letters. The delineations are based on two Latin manuscripts of the mid-9th century. The reader is therefore able to arrive at an independent judgement regarding the aesthetics of the men. Scriptural authorities, both in the 19th and 20th centuries, have regarded AD 61 as the year of Paul's arrival in Rome for his trial before Nero. The correspondance is dated from that time forward until AD 65, when both Paul and Seneca died under the hand of Nero.

This review is from: Correspondence Between Paul and Seneca, A.D. 61-65 (Ancient Near Eastern Texts and Studies, V. 12) (Hardcover)

This is a reproduction of 14 letters exchanged between Seneca and Paul. All the letters are presented both in Latin and English translation. Mr Berry's commentary provides a great deal of background information. Interestingly, the author is slightly prejudiced in favour of Latin as opposed to Greek. I recommend the book anyway.
