3000 BC - AD 476
For this first paper, you will consider some ancient teachings on virtue. In the
first excerpt, you will find details describing a virtuous man, and philosophical
aspects of what it meant, for Stoics, to live and rule virtuously. In the second and
third excerpts, you will find teachings of Christ and practices of early Christians.
**Your paper should consider the following issues, and then analyze them in
light of Biblical teaching.
What do these men say and show about virtue? Where does virtue come
from? When ranked in importance for life, where does it fall?
Your thesis statement needs to provide consideration for how these teachings
differ, as well as why that difference is important.
