I don’t think this is unique to Christianity. A similar key concept in Hinduism is “karma”.
- munificent 2y agoYes, from the article: "In Buddhism this is karma, while for the stoics it is Providence, the same concept of Providence that Christianity later borrowed, which argues that everything in the world which seems bad is actually good in a way we cannot fully understand because of our limited perspective."
