Markus McDowell is an author & editor. He lives on a boat and travels extensively, writing novels, short stories, travel reviews, and more.

This preliminary study explores the concept and practice of prayer found in the writings of six major Stoic philosophers from the ancient world: Zeno, Cleanthes, Chrysippus, Seneca, Epictetus, and Marcus Aurelius. Placing these writers in their context within the evolution of Stoic philosophy, and in their socio-religious and historical context, McDowell then characterizes the nature, purpose, and practices of Stoic prayer.
A brief comparison with prayer from the New Testament closes the study.
