The Story of St. Paul: A Comparison of the Acts and Epistles
Digital Verbum Edition
Overview
Benjamin Bacon delivered ten lectures in two university extension courses at Providence, RI, and New Haven, CT, during spring and autumn of 1903. Prepared as a historical and literary study, these lectures were made as non-technical as possible for mixed audiences whose knowledge of the Bible were, for the most part, uncritical. He addresses the differences in the two polemic sources for the life of St. Paul in which some harmonizers tampered into a skewed interpretation. He also discusses St. Paul’s formative influences, conversion, vocation, propagation of the gospel, three missionary journeys, and epistles.
