Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Story of St. Paul: A Comparison of Acts and Epistles It is a providential characteristic of God´s written revelation that it presents the record in twofold, threefold, or even fourfold form, without effort to conceal the discrepancies due to the varying points of view of fallible reporters. Polemic interest seizes upon this fact to argue on the one side from the discrepancies against the veracity, on the other that "in the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established." Only the tendency has been so extreme to establish every word as to lose sight of the value of divergences. For eighteen centuries of polemics the supreme interest of the Church in comparing biblical parallels has been harmonistic. Everything has been done to obliterate the last trace of difference. In the earlier time transcribers did not scruple to assimilate text with text, going so far as to meet the taunt of discrepant genealogies of Jesus by substituting in Luke the pedigree of Matthew.
