NOTE
This work forms the sequel to the author's "The Quest of the Historical Jesus." It is the duty, he thinks, of any one who offers a new reading of the life of Jesus not to leave it standing isolated, but to show how it connects with the history of doctrine. Here Paul is the crux. How is he related, on the one hand, to the primitive Christian community, and, on the other, to the early Greek theology? Dr. Schweitzer's work is in form a history—and a very useful history—of German Pauline scholarship, but he uses the history in order to show how the problems have developed organically, as it were, in the natural course of the study of the subject, and in his account of the various writers, criticism keeps pace with exposition.
SOME PRESS OPINIONS
"A continuation of the author's "The Quest of the Historical Jesus," Dr. Schweitzer holding that 'any one who deals with the teaching and the life and work of Jesus, and offers any kind of new reading of it, ought not to stop there, but must be held under obligation to trace, from the standpoint at which he has arrived, the pathway leading to the history of dogma.'"—Athenæum.
"This book of Schweitzer's, again so admirably translated, is one of the indispensable tools. It will save endless toil, it may even help us to save our souls."—Expository Times.
"An important book for New Testament specialists.—Methodist Times.
