In Philodemus and Paul on Moral Formation in Community Justin Reid Allison compares how the Epicurean philosopher Philodemus and the Christian apostle Paul envisioned members of their communities helping one another to grow into moral maturity.
Born just after World War 2, I grew up in the Dorset countryside among cars and planes, motobikes and tractors, guns and horses. From early childhood, I recognised their aesthetic, emotional and social significance When I left a local public (i.e. private) school at 16, I spent my Old Boys membership fee on a well-used Tiger 110 motorcycle: 99% as fast as a Bonneville, with about 45% of the stabilitity. Way to go. Since then, I’ve serviced electric milk floats, worked in scrapyards and on farms , rebuilt a supercharged 1934 AC, a 1930 Riley 9 and studied Architecture. 1n 1970, I joined a famous London advertising agency as a copywriter. Still love the work. Have won several awards as a freelance copywriter, creative director and journalist. Apart from Alfa Mail, my other writing includes journalism, for publications such as Alfa Romeo Driver, poetry (Commended by The Thomas Hardy Society) and limited-edition art books, such as Relatively Virginal.
