| Summary | "Jumalan etsijöitä" by F. W. Farrar is a philosophical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the lives and ideas of three prominent pagan philosophers—Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius—who sought truths that could make their lives more righteous in a morally corrupt society. By labeling them as "God seekers," it suggests a pursuit of ethical living that transcends the boundaries of traditional religious thought. The opening of the work sets the stage for a thoughtful exploration of these philosophers' contributions and their struggles to find meaning and virtue in an imperfect world. Farrar emphasizes the richness of their insights, highlighting that despite their pagan backgrounds, their moral teachings resonate with and can challenge contemporary understandings of virtue. He notes that the book will delve into each philosopher's life, starting with Seneca, while also painting a broader picture of the historical and societal context in which these thinkers operated, hinting at the intersections between philosophy and early Christian thought that are to unfold in subsequent chapters.
