Between Heathenism and Christianity Being a translation of Seneca's De Providentia, and Plutarch's De sera numinis vindicta, together with notes, additional extracts from these writers and two essays on Graeco-Roman life in the first century after Christ.

"Between Heathenism and Christianity" by Charles W. Super translates and examines Seneca's "De Providentia" and Plutarch's "De Sera Numinis Vindicta" alongside essays about Graeco-Roman life in the first century AD, likely appearing in the late 1800s. The book illustrates the clash and overlap between ancient paganism and early Christianity through the words of Seneca and Plutarch, both key figures navigating this historical shift. It showcases how Christianity rose despite being tied to the Jewish faith and facing pushback from Roman authorities. Early sections introduce Seneca's life and philosophies, framing him as a critical thinker during Christianity’s beginnings, while also dissecting Plutarch’s views on doing good. In addition, the book looks at the difficult questions about morality, fate, and what it means to be human that these thinkers wrestled with, shedding light on the tangled web of ideas in their era.
