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.

'Der Dialog, den es nicht gab, wird in dieser Aufsatzsammlung nachgereicht. Dank ihrer tatsächlichen Gemeinsamkeiten lassen sich die beiden in eine Art fruchtbares, wenn auch fiktives Gespräch bringen, das mit dem Ende des Buches noch lange nicht zu Ende scheint. [...] Den postumen Dialog zwischen Paulus und Seneca, damit auch zwischen Theologie und Philosophie, haben die Herausgeber und ihre Autoren überzeugend darzustellen gewusst.'
