Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from St. Paul's Conception of Christianity
Two important questions may be asked concerning St. Paul's Christian theology: Where did he get it and, Whence do we Obtain our knowledge Of it? It is with the latter of these questions that we are now to be occupied. By sources is here meant the literary materials available for becoming acquainted with the great Gentile apostle's characteristic way of thinking on the leading themes connected with the Christian faith. If we wanted to know, as far as is possible, all that St. Paul thought on any topic relating to the faith, we should have to regard all his extant Epistles as our sources, and our first task would be to ascertain to the best of our ability how many of the separate writings ascribed to him in the New Testament are authentic. If, on the other hand, our aim be, as it is, to determine the nature of the distinctively Pauline type of Christianity.
