Excerpt from The Life and Epistles of St. Paul, Vol. 1 of 2
The purpose of this work is to give a living picture of St. Paul himself, and of the circumstances by which he was surrounded.
The biography of the Apostle must be compiled from two sources, first, his own letters, and secondly, the narrative in the Acts of the Apostles. The latter, after a slight sketch of his early history, supplies us with fuller details of his middle life, and his Epistles afford much subsidiary in formation concerning his missionary labours during the same period. The light concentrated upon this portion of his course, makes darker by contrast the obscurity which rests upon the remainder, for we are left to gain what knowledge we can of his later years, from scattered hints in a few short letters Of his own, and from a single sentence of his disciple Clement.
