Excerpt from Noble Thoughts of EpictetusIt is interesting to know that the Manual was widely accepted among Christians no less than among Pagans, and that as late as the fifth century, paraphrases were written of it for Christian use. No systematic treatise of morals so simply beautiful was ever composed, and to this day the Christian may study it, not with interest only, but real advantage. It is like the voice of the Sybil, which uttering things simple and un adorned, by God's grace reacheth through innu merable years.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
