Most ancient Romans were deeply religious and their world was overflowing with gods--from Jupiter, Minerva, and Mars to countless local divinities, household gods, and ancestral spirits. One of the most influential Roman perspectives on religion came from a nonreligious belief system that is finding new adherents even today: Stoicism. How did the Stoics think about religion? In How to Think about God, Philip Freeman presents vivid new translations of Cicero's On the Nature of the Gods and The Dream of Scipio. In these brief works, Cicero offers a Stoic view of belief, divinity, and human immortality, giving eloquent expression to the religious ideas of one of the most popular schools of Roman and Greek philosophy.

On the Nature of the Gods and The Dream of Scipio are Cicero's best-known and most important writings on religion, and they have profoundly shaped Christian and non-Christian thought for more than two thousand years, influencing such luminaries as Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, Dante, and Thomas Jefferson. These works reveal many of the religious aspects of Stoicism, including an understanding of the universe as a materialistic yet continuous and living whole in which both the gods and a supreme God are essential elements.

Featuring an introduction, suggestions for further reading, and the original Latin on facing pages, How to Think about God is a compelling guide to the Stoic view of the divine.

I love these!
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
I love these kalamata olives with just olive oil - it's so hard to find them pre-packaged or jarred with JUST olive oil, and not some added oregano or something. These are great to have around as snacks and are great portable snacks if you're going somewhere (so many snacks are sweet, so it's good to have a savory option). Just the right amount for a snack.

Yummers!
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
I love olives especially kalamatas! I just wish there were more than eight of these in each little pouch. I'd be willing to pay more for that honestly! That's how good these are! Highly recommend these!

Not good
Flavor Name: Kalamata, Size: 1.1 Ounce (Count of 6)
These were mushy, very small and salty. I was expecting nice crisp large olives that I love. It is packed in olive oil. Shark tank said they were nice and dry (easily to eat). They are not. Disappointed.

The perfect car food. Tides me over nicely until I can get home or to the grocery store. Good quality. No questionable ingredients. Just really high-quality Kalamata olives in a convenient small pack! Will buy again!
