In what particular manner human beings are free moral agents and to what extent they can reasonably expect to attain a good life are two intertwined questions that rose to prominence in antiquity and have remained so to the present day. This book analyzes and compares the approaches of two significant authors from different schools at the turn of the third century CE, Alexander of Aphrodisias and Clement of Alexandria. These contemporaries utilize their respective Peripatetic and Christian commitments in their employment of the shared Greek classics toward these shared ethical questions.

Autorenporträt
Dan Robinson began preaching in 1970 and has pastored churches in North Carolina and Virginia since 1980. He delivered his first sermon on the same day he sensed his call to the ministry. Dan has maintained a teaching ministry both domestically and internationally. Whether at the college or seminary level, his passion for ministerial students has found a hungry and welcoming audience. Dan's first book, Lord, The One You Love Is Sick, tells of his journey as a widower and of the Lord's sustaining ministry to him. In this book on the Holy Spirit, he continues in that same conversational style of writing. His academic credentials include a doctorate from Southwestern Seminary. Dan and his wife, Kaye, were married in 2007, following the deaths of their first spouses. Now living in Highlands, NC, their blended family includes six grown children, two of whom are in heaven.
