Opis: St. Paul - Deissmann Adolf

Excerpt from St. Paul: A Study in Social and Religious History

An Anatolian St. Paul, a man of the ancients, a homo novus, rising from the mass of the insignificant many, heeded by no man of letters among his pagan contemporaries, yet destined to be a leading personality in the world's history; a homo religiosus, at once a classic of mysticism and a most practical man of affairs; a prophet and dreamer, crucified to the world of Christ, yet for ever memorable as a citizen of the world at the present moment - such is the man whose outlines I have been seeking to portray. After long years devoted to the study of the ancient records of St. Paul and their modern interpreters it was my rare good fortune to find a new teacher to supplement those to whom I shall always look up with gratitude, the old teachers at home. This new teacher is in no sense academic: paper and paragraphs are unknown to her; all that she teaches she dispense with generous hand in the bright sunshine and open air - she is in fact the world of the South and East, the world of St. Paul. If the western stranger approach the mistress by reverently beneath the olive-trees, she will gladly, and with a mother's joy, speak to him of her great son.
