Epictetus and the New Testament (Classic Reprint)Excerpt from Epictetus and the New Testament Our immediate object in this section is to place side by side sentences or phrases taken from Epictetus and the New Testament respectively which display a marked resemblance. To one another, not so much in the thought which they express, nor yet in the syntactical form in which they have been composed, as in the actual choice and arrangement of the words themselves. Little comment will be necessary in the comments that are made we want, as far as we can, to leave the question of the explanation of these resemblances to a later stage. In view of this statement, perhaps, the choice of the title for this section is unfortunate, but we would suggest that the term 'possible' still leaves the question open.
