The aim of this book is threefold : first, to present
the biography of the great apostle to the Gentiles
entirely apart from a study of his theological teach-
ing, which has not hitherto been done. The impor-
tance of Paul's life and the importance of his teaching
fully justify a separate treatment of each, and such
is in thetreatment also interest of a clear and forcible
presentation both of his biography and of his teaching.
Second, to present the facts in as simple and sci-
entific a manner as possible, without comment and
without rhetorical elaboration, assuming that what the
desires knowreader to first of all, and what he surely
ought to know first of all, is the facts, or the nearest
possible approximation to the facts.
Third, to present the material in an accessible and
usable form. To this end the chapters are subdivided
into numbered paragraphs, full references are made
to the Biblical sources, and abundant, though by no
means exhaustive, references the modernto literature
of the subject.
