Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Evangelical Succession: A Course of Lectures, Delivered in St. George´s Free Church Edinburgh 1881-82 The Course, which this Lecture introduces, has for its general subject the Evangelical Succession. If there is a type of Christian life and work which can be legitimately distinguished by this name, then no doubt that type of life and work looks back to the Apostle Paul as, among the apostolic circle, a very special forerunner. It finds in his writings, and in his spirit, some of its most significant warrants and guides. Some may judge that it has misinterpreted or misused what it found. We will not now decide that question, nor debate it. Enough that the connection is real, whether or not it be accepted beforehand as legitimate. But another question arises. Most of what we know of Paul, we know from his writings, which we own to be part of Holy Scripture. His activity also, as a Christian, is the activity of a man inspired, guided by revelations and divine impulses, upheld by exceptional grace. Are we entitled to treat what we find here as private and individual? Are we entitled to comment on it as on a mere human variety of the Christian character? Are we able to treat Paul as one in a succession with Augustine, and Bernard, and Luther, and the rest? It may seem not.
