Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Meaning of Paul for to-Day "These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also." So the people of ancient Salonica judged two men who came proclaiming the Christian Way to a pagan society. By happy fortune, one of the two revolutionaries has survived in his writings, and we are in a position to learn at first-hand how Paul of Tarsus, artisan, scholar, traveller, leader of men, carried out into that imperial world the gospel that had transformed his own life, interpreting it in daring and vivid terms to the mind of his time. A gospel so deeply personal and so widely human can survive the intellectual vicissitudes of centuries, and bear re-interpretation for a new age without losing its vital force. In this little book I have made some attempt to suggest the place of Paul in the history of religion; but I have been more particularly concerned to bring out what I conceive to be the permanent significance of the apostle´s thought, in modern terms, and in relation to the general interests and problems which occupy the mind of our generation. I find in Paul a religious philosophy of life orientated throughout to the idea of a society or commonwealth of God. Such a philosophy finds ready contact with the dominant concerns of our own day The basis of this study is the Pauline epistles.
