Socrates and Jesus: Pursuing Truth Beyond Death
Explore how Socrates’ quest for truth and integrity parallels Jesus’ claim as the Truth who conquered death in this 21-day Bible study.
📖 Introduction
Throughout history, the quest for truth has challenged humanity’s deepest convictions. Two figures stand emblazoned in the annals of truth-seeking: Socrates, the ancient philosopher, and Jesus Christ, the incarnate Word.
Socrates, known for his relentless questioning and dedication to moral integrity, faced death courageously, convinced that the pursuit of truth transcended physical demise. He famously said, "The unexamined life is not worth living," demonstrating a commitment to wisdom above all.
On the other hand, Jesus declared Himself as "the Way, the Truth, and the Life" (John 14:6), asserting authority not just on intellectual truth but on eternal reality. Unlike Socrates, Jesus conquered death through resurrection, affirming His power over life itself.
This 21-day Bible study invites you on a transformative journey, juxtaposing Socrates' philosophical courage with Jesus’ divine revelation. We will explore how integrity, faith, and truth intersect, and how understanding Jesus’ victory over death offers hope beyond human limitations.
Whether you are a seeker of wisdom like Socrates or a believer in Jesus’ promises, this study will challenge you to examine your beliefs deeply, engage passionately with Scripture, and embrace the truth that sustains beyond the grave.
