Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Character of St. Paul In Paul´s preaching I discover nothing of that spirit which delights in doing violence to the feelings of an audience, and takes its pastime in communicating offensive truths in the most offensive manner. He is conscious of his commission, but has no wish on every occasion to put forth all its powers. On the contrary, nothing is more striking in the discourses of St. Paul than the tenderness and delicacy displayed in them towards the persons he is called upon to instruct, exhort, or reprove. He faithfully administers the wormwood, but still anoints the lip of the cup ... So, in his pastoral intercourse with the people, practical good sense (as we should say of an ordinary man) ever governed his advice ... His maxims are all such as would be considered by the most politic children of this world judicious and wise ... And I cannot but observe what a fund of evidence for the truth of the Gospel lies in this feature of St. Paul´s character - for as nobody, I am sure, can read his Epistles, and doubt for a moment the sincerity of his own belief in the doctrines he was teaching, so no one can contemplate the considerate temperament, so distinctly manifested in him, without feeling equally sure that he was no visionary, no dupe to fancies of his own, but was a man to weigh testimony before he yielded to it.
