W. (Frederic William) 1831 1903 Farrar, Frederic William Farrar, Frederick William Farrar, Dean (Frederic William) Hope, F. T. L. Farrar, Frederic W. Seekers after God Reading ease score: 59.8 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read. E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Charlie Kirschner, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Seekers after God" by F. W. Farrar is a historical account likely written in the late 19th century. The book focuses on the life of the famous Roman philosopher Seneca, exploring his upbringing, philosophical development, and the socio-political environment of his time, particularly in relation to the emergence of Christianity. The opening of the book establishes the historical context surrounding Seneca, detailing his family's background, their migration from Cordova to Rome, and the impact of his mother's nurturing. Farrar elaborates on Seneca's early health issues and introduces significant family members, including his mother, Helvia, and his brothers. The text sets the stage for a deeper exploration of Seneca's philosophical journey, indicating the stark contrasts between his moral teachings and the corruption prevalent in Roman society. It raises the question of how a man so steeped in the philosophical quests for wisdom and virtue navigated the treacherous waters of Roman political life while remaining a "seeker after God."
