Excerpt from The Teaching of Paul in Terms of the Present Day: The Deems Lectures in New York UniversityN O apology is offered for adding to the vast sum of books about Paul. Much of what is in modern times written and preached regarding Paul is ex pressed in terms Of an Old system Of education and thought. The expression is usually quite right in its own way but it requires an effort for the modern trained mind to think after that fashion, and many have not made, and are not likely to make, the effort.Growing up amid the life of the modern Univer sities in familiar relations with scientific and literary men, most Of whom had no Opinions about Paul or his philosophy, the present writer gradually formed his own conception of the teaching Of Paul in terms Of the education that surrounded him. These ideas have forced themselves into words, for which Often the writer hardly feels himself responsible: they seemed rather to be a free translation from the Greek Of the Epistles than the outcome Of his own thoughts. These thoughts formed the subject Of the Deems Lectures in New York University, N OV ember, 1910, but illness, which led to resignation from active University duty, protracted the labour Of preparing them for publication.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
