Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Last Years of Saint Paul To me to live is Christ and to die is gain. - Philip. i. 21. Those missionary journeys of Saint Paul, which I endeavored to set forth in a preceding volume, go to make up the longer term of his Apostolate (from 42 to 62). No more than five years of life were destined to be his after his arrival in Rome, while one half of this time he was to drag out in captivity. And yet, restricted in every respect though this closing of his ministry may seem, it is of an importance equal to, if not greater than, that of the longer period during which Paul evangelized Asia and Greece. His main object in the course of those seventeen years of mission-work had been to free the Christian communities which he was founding from the bondage of Judaism. On emerging from that struggle he finds that both his own views, as well as his sphere of action, have widened. Against the nascent shadows of heresy he must needs now uphold the pure light of the Incarnation; unto poor, dying Jerusalem he is destined to display Jesus, High Priest from everlasting unto everlasting, abolishing the ancient worship of Mosaic Law; to all he is to repeat the fact that this Divine Saviour perpetuates His life in the Church; finally he develops the Hierarchy, which was destined to maintain and regulate the functions of that mystical body of Christ.
