About this book
The study concerns the influence of Greek ideas and usages upon the Christian Church, with discussion of philosophical schools, moral choice, and conceptions of God. The account of human choice contrasts misery from opposing the movement of nature with happiness from acting in accordance with that movement. The discussion presents education of the mind and discipline of the will as a way of making God's will one's own rather than submitting in passive resignation.
The treatment of Logos explains that the term combines meanings involving thought, will, sentences, and law, without a single equivalent in modern language. The account says that most Stoics used neither the term Active nor the impersonal term Logos, and describes an opposition between matter and God.
