Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lessons on the Life of St. Paul: Drawn From the Acts and the Epistles
One word as to the chronology here adopted. It should be understood by both teachers and scholars that all New Testament dates are, within certain limits, conjectural. There is no clew in Gospels, Acts, or Epistles, to the exact year of any single event or writing. The only thing to be done, in such a work as this, is to determine, on the best evidence obtain able, some one date, and arrange the entire history in accordance with that. Having adopted ad. 33 as the year of Christ's crucifixion, and ad. 34 as that of Paul's conversion, the other dates are determined by these; not as certainly correct, but as on the whole the most probable.
