Reviews

'Der Dialog, den es nicht gab, wird in dieser Aufsatzsammlung nachgereicht. Dank ihrer tatsächlichen Gemeinsamkeiten lassen sich die beiden in eine Art fruchtbares, wenn auch fiktives Gespräch bringen, das mit dem Ende des Buches noch lange nicht zu Ende scheint. [...] Den postumen Dialog zwischen Paulus und Seneca, damit auch zwischen Theologie und Philosophie, haben die Herausgeber und ihre Autoren überzeugend darzustellen gewusst.'
