His writings were greatly appreciated by the early Christians as well as during the Middle Ages, Renaissance, 17th century and down to today. It is not surprising that the first fathers of the church found his words attractive since they expressed the Christian concept: “Love your neighbour as you love yourself.” His teachings on how to live well and confront adversity remain a potent guide today.
