| | Hedonism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The tenets of this philosophy are that humans were created by (the Christian) God with the priority purpose of lavishly enjoying God through knowing, worshipping, and serving Him. | | | Similar to the Epicurean view, the highest pleasure is regarded as something long-term and found not in indulgence but in a life devoted to God. | | | Serious questions have been raised within the Christian community as to whether Christian Hedonism displaces "love God" with "enjoy God" as the greatest and foremost commandment. |

| | Pastor's Pages Academic Works Reflections on Christian Hedonism |
| | Hence, we conclude that in their original form, Christianity and Hedonism are entirely different systems of beliefs with antipathetic perspectives on the meaning of human life. | | | In his own testimony on how he was “converted” to Christian Hedonism, Piper states that it is unbiblical and arrogant to worship God for any other reason than pleasure to be had in him. | | | As to the pleasure seeking, Piper does explain that Christian Hedonism, as he uses the term, does not mean that God becomes a means to get worldly pleasures. |

| | Parableman: Christian Hedonism |
| | When Dr. Piper wrote "Christian Hedonism does not put us above God when it makes the joy of worship its goal." and "I came to see that it is unbiblical and arrogant to try to worship God for any other reason than the pleasure to be had in him." he is exagerating. | | | I do think Piper holds one of them, but I don't think it's equivalent to what he calls Christian hedonism, which doesn't seem to me to be a kind of hedonism at all. | | | You again may be right and I may have gotten it wrong, but Piper did write: "The only way to glorify the all-sufficiency of God in worship is to come to him because 'in his presence is fullness of joy and at his right hand are pleasures for evermore' (Psalm 16:11). |

| | Rebuttal to the Defense of the Term Christian Hedonism |
| | But their worship is, in the end, self-indulgent hedonism. | | | By the very definition of "hedonism", and even by this narrow dictionary definition of "Christian" we can see clearly that the term "Christian hedonism" posited by John Piper is an oxymoron. | | | The two cannot exist together, for to obey Christ is to abandon hedonism, and to embrace hedonism is to become a hypocrite like the Pharisees. |

| | Epicurus' hedonism was widely denounced in the ancient world as undermining traditional morality. | | | Epicurus consistently maintains that friendship is valuable because it is one of the greatest means of attaining pleasure. | | | However, Epicurus has a sophisticated and idiosyncratic view of the nature of pleasure, which leads him to recommend a virtuous, moderately ascetic life as the best means to securing pleasure. |

| | The Cyrenaics and the Origin of Hedonism |
| | Aristippus believed that the good life rests upon the belief that among human values pleasure is the highest and pain the lowest - and one that should be avoided. | | | During the middle ages, Christian philosophers largely denounced Epicurean hedonism, which they believed was inconsistent with the Christian emphasis on avoiding sin, doing God's will, and developing the Christian virtues of faith, hope and charity. | | | Reniassance philosophers such as Erasmus (1466-1536) revived hedonism and argued that its emphasis on pleasure was in fact compatible with God's wish for humans to be happy. |
