Weinel, Heinrich. St. Paul, the man and his work; tr. by Rev. G. A. Bienemann and ed. by Rev. W. D. Morrison. *$2.50. Putnam.
Professor Weinel of the University of Jena says in his preface: “This book forms a necessary supplement to my ‘Jesus in the nineteenth century,’ for it shows how the Gospel came to make that concordat with the ‘world’ i. e., with the ancient state and its religion and morality, which we call ‘church.’ I have tried to show how necessary, and how solitary this compromise was, by what pure motives it was animated, but also with what dangers it was pregnant for the Gospel itself.” Further the author says: “I have wanted to make our people understand and love Paul.”
“He is a scholar who does not intrude his scholarship but is competent to speak on St. Paul.”
