Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Our Debt to Great Britain When the great Apostle confessed himself a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the unwise, we may be sure that he had not reached such a conclusion without a struggle. There were many deeply-seated and inherited prejudices that had to be overcome. It is equally certain, too, that his acknowledgment of international indebtedness was not acceptable to the rank and file of his fellow-citizens. The ancient Jews were a very proud and independent people. Their mission in the world, as they conceived it, was to teach, not learn; to impart and not receive! They belonged to what they called the "Chosen Race." In their opinion they had been selected by their God to enlighten and redeem the world. They spoke of the land they lived in as the Land of Promise, which was another way of saying that it was "God´s own country." Now, the great Apostle inherited these opinions. They had been taught him in the schools. He had boasted of them in his youth. But, with growing years, he had a widening experience. He traveled. He saw something of other civilizations. He learned the beauty that was Greece; he perceived the grandeur that belonged to Rome. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
