Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ethics of St. Paul
The special aim of this volume consequently is not only to present in a systematic whole the various virtues and duties which the apostle inculcates, but also to show (and this is indeed the central thought of the book) that morality is absolutely vital to St. Paul's religion, and that he ever seeks to bring the dynamic of the Gospel to bear upon practical life. N 0 man is independent of his environment, and with all his originality Paul was affected by the conditions of life and thought amid which he was reared. The writer has therefore endeavoured to indicate the apostle's rela tions to the ethical conceptions of his day, contrasting and comparing at various points his teaching with the philo sophical systems of the ancient world.
