Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Acts of the Apostles, or the History of the Church in the Apostolic Age, Vol. 3 Yea, at the last moment, before parting for ever, another possibility, and hope of averting this painful separation, spring up to him. The people of Israel at once present themselves to his mind in the light of their Divine predestination and eternal election, and the surrounding multitude appear to him as the representatives of this people. With respect, now, to the discourse itself, surely no slight evidence of its appropriateness and suitableness is afforded by the circumstance that Baur, as well as Zeller, notwithstanding the prejudices entertained by them and their whole party against all the discourses of Paul, declare that this one may, possibly, have been delivered in the form in which it is now before us (see Baur, der Apostel Paulas, S. 209; Theolog. Jahrbücher 1849, 562). It must not, however, be overlooked that, from a careful examination, Baur, after all, discovers and advances two important objections, one of which Zeller also is rather disposed to receive; so that both of these critics arrive again, after all, at their usual result, viz., that, according to all appearance, this discourse also is a free composition of the writer of the book, and that the apparent appropriateness has its sole foundation in the circumstances, that the apologetic tendency of the writer is here in tolerable harmony with the supposed situation of the Apostle. Now, I think that the peculiarity of the discourse under consideration, as well as its genuineness, will be seen in the clearest light, if we connect our farther discussion with these two objections urged by Baur. Baur is astonished at two things: First - that the people, notwithstanding the violent and turbulent excitement in which they were, should have listened so long and so quietly to the hated speaker, of whose death-deserving guilt they were convinced beforehand (see S. 303); - and, secondly, that Paul should not have entered at all into the real cause of the hatred of the Jews, - viz., his position with reference to the law (see S. 210).
