Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Religious Experience of Saint Paul In 1907 I was asked to contribute to a volume of Cambridge Biblical Essays (published in 1909) a paper on some phase of the life and teaching of St Paul. I accepted the task, and chose for my subject the speeches of St Paul in Acts. As I worked in this limited field, the conviction began to impress itself upon me that though I had read many books on St Paul, and even written about him, I had by no means succeeded in fully understanding his purposes and the character of his teaching. In truth, Englishmen become so saturated with phrases from the Pauline Epistles, used in conventional senses, that it is very difficult for them to realise what those phrases meant to him who uttered them and to those to whom they were addressed. In addition to this, we have become accustomed to take our view of St Paul largely from Acts, the author of which book though a delightful personality, is by no means fully in sympathy with his hero. The problem fascinated me, and I devoted most of a long vacation to an experiment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
