Success, Suffering and Self-Control: Jesus and the Stoics
Guest speaker Chase Kuhn.
The ancient philosophy known as Stoicism has had an enduring legacy, from ancient emperors and modern day social media influencers. It casts a vision for life well lived, guided by about reason, resilience and virtue.
There are some noticeable similarities between the ideas of the Stoics and the teaching of Jesus Christ, but also some very significant differences.
A public lecture especially designed to be engaging to both Christians and those with other religious or philosophical beliefs. The lecture will explore this topic and explain some of the deep truths of the Christian faith along the way.
The evening will feature an extended Q&A time with questions taken from the floor and via SMS.
Tickets available here. $5 concession, $10 full.
