FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
ST. PATRICK, Missouri — Author MG “Doc” Woodworth announces the publication of The Stoic and the Cross: A History of Christian Stoicism, a narrative history exploring the long encounter between Stoic philosophy and Christian faith. The book is available now on Amazon in eBook and softcover editions, with an audio edition available through the ElevenReader app.
As readers rediscover Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, questions about Stoicism’s relationship to Christianity have taken on fresh relevance. Woodworth follows that conversation across two millennia, examining where the traditions meet, where they differ, and how Christian thinkers have engaged with Stoic ideas.
Written for general readers, the book approaches its subject through people and their lives rather than technical philosophical argument. It explores practices such as self-examination and attention to one’s judgments alongside Christian understandings of grace, love, grief, and dependence on God.
The Stoic and the Cross offers an accessible starting point for readers interested in philosophy, church history, or the questions raised when ancient wisdom meets Christian belief. It also provides historical context for Woodworth’s companion book, The Undivided Life: Self, Society, and Soul in Stoic Christian Life.
