Excerpt from New Testament Teaching in the Light of St. Paul'sAny are the works on New Testament Theology, and on particular doctrines, and on the doc trines of particular writers. But it needs more careful reading than most students have time for to gain from them a general grasp of the development of Christian thought. In the following pages, which contain an expansion of lectures delivered in Dublin to Divinity students and others, a method is followed which the writer believes has never been applied systematically to the New Testament as a whole. As the motion of objects at a distance can be more easily observed by noting their positions relative to a fixed mark, so the teaching contained in the several writings is noted in relation to St Paul's. The analogy Will not strictly hold because St Paul moved himself. But he has allowed us to know him so well that this method Offers the best criterion for placing the other teachers of the Church in the general movement. And although St Paul's own doctrine is not dealt with as a whole, we gain incidentally a wonderful impression of his uniqueness and spiritual power.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
