BIBLE STUDIES I THE LIFE OF PAULHISTORICAL AD COSTRUCTIVEBYREV. HERY T. SELL, D.D.COPYRIGHT, 1904BY FLEMIG H.RHVELL COMPAYPREFACEThe book of Acts shows in a very graphic way therapid growth and marvelous progress of Christianity inthe midst of great opposition. We see in process of ful-fillment the promise of Jesus Christ to his disciples thatthey should receive power after the Holy Ghost had comeupon them and that they should be witnesses unto Him**both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and in Samaria andunto the uttermost part of the earth." Those were earn-est times and full of stirring events, when men went forthto conquer a hostile world not with swords, but by thepreaching of a gospel of peace and good will. As soon asthis proclamation was made in Judea and Samaria a newinstrument was chosen by Jesus Christ, in Paul, to carryHis message to the uttermost part of the earth. Hethus became at once the chief character in the larger work of planting and developing churches outside of Palestine.The study of Paul's life shows the difficulties encountered,the doctrines taught, and the organization perfected in theearly churches. **We here watch the dawn of the gospelwhich the Savior preached as it broadens gradually intothe boundless day."Bible Studies in the Life of Paul is designed to followthe author's Bible Studies in the Life of Christ and toshow the work of the Great Apostle in carrying the gos-pel to a Gentile world. The aim is to present the work of Paul in a constructive and historical way. While therehas been a careful consideration, on the part of the author,of disputed questions, only conclusions upon which thereis a general agreement amongst scholars, and which can beconsistently held, are presented. The great main facts of Paul's hfe and work stand forth unchallenged and the
6 Prefaceemphasis is placed upon them. This book is divided intothree parts, Paul's preparation for his work, his mission-ary journeys, and his writings. This is a text book, and,with the analysis of each study and questions, is preparedfor the use of normal and advanced Sunday-school classes,teachers' meetings, schools, colleges, and private study.This is the sixth book of the kind which the author hasprepared and sent forth. The large favor with v/hich theother books have been received, and the desire, first of all,of making the life and work of Paul even better known,have been the motives which have led to its preparation.HERY T.
