Super is a scholarly work that serves as a translation of Seneca’s "De Providentia" and Plutarch’s "De Sera Numinis Vindicta," supplemented with notes and essays on Graeco-Roman life during the first century after Christ. This work likely emerged in the late 19th century and explores the philosophical tensions between ancient pagan beliefs and the nascent Christian faith. The main focus is on how figures like Seneca and Plutarch embody the intersection of these two influential worldviews and how their teachings relate to early Christian thought.  At the start of the book, Super provides a preface that sets the stage for the exploration of the notable historical transition from paganism to Christianity. He emphasizes the remarkable spread of Christianity despite its early association with the marginalized Jewish faith and the resistance it faced from Roman society and governance. The initial chapters introduce Seneca's life and philosophical contributions, positioning him on the cusp of Christianity, while also examining Plutarch’s insights on moral virtues. Super outlines the challenges and questions around morality, providence, and the human condition that these thinkers tackled, illuminating the complex ideological landscape of their time.
