S. Paul and His Companions e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. This work is a short study on the book of the Acts of the Apostles, an enquiry into the power of Friendship as a factor in the life of S. Paul. This will sufficiently explain the author's point of departure in one special direction; he has refrained from examining the question of the authenticity of the Pauline Epistles. In fact, when so many writers of repute, for example Professor Zahn, accept the canonical Epistles as genuine, he would be a bold man who would unhesitatingly question the claim of any of the Epistles to a rightful place in the New Testament canon. The author has therefore proceeded on orthodox lines and accepted as genuine such Epistles as 2 Thessalonians, I and 2 Timothy, and Titus.<br><br>One other point should be noticed. The South Galatian theory has been accepted as more reasonable than that advocated by Lightfoot.<br><br>The quotations are made from the Revised Version of the New Testament.
