Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Paul to the Corinthians, Vol. 1 of 2: With Critical Notes and Dissertations In many respects every commentary on the Epistles of St. Paul must traverse the same ground, and pursue the same plan. But, partly as a justification of entering afresh on a field so often trodden, partly as an explanation of the design of this work, it may be advisable briefly to state the peculiarities of the Apostles argument generally, and of these two Epistles in particular, which I have endeavoured to bear in mind: Unlike the style of regular treatises, the language of St. Paul´s Epistles partakes in an eminent degree of the roughness and abruptness of the most familiar letters, whilst it also labours with the fervour and vehemence of the most impassioned oratory. Dictated for the most part, not written, his Epistles partake of the character of speeches rather than of compositions. He is in them the speaking Prophet, not the silent Scribe. He almost always conceives himself as "present in spirit;" as "speaking" to his readers face to face; his Epistle, in his mind, becomes himself; and through it he appears among them as Elijah before Ahab, as himself before Felix.
