Paul: A Servant of Jesus Christ #221565

Of the many Sacred Biographies I have written, this has been by far the most interesting. For days and weeks together I have lived in the company of this glorious man; but only to feel that he transcended all one's loftiest conceptions. Like some great mountain range, the more his character is traversed, the more it grows on the imagination.<br><br>In these chapters I have used the Epistles more largely than the Acts, as I desired to describe his life from within, and as it appeared to himself. In many cases, therefore, the historical has been subordinated to the auto-biographical.<br><br>I have taken advantage of some of the latest books which have dealt with this subject; but for the most part the following pages contain the essence of years of my own thinking and preaching. Such as they are, I send them forth, trusting that they may incite many to follow Paul as he followed Christ; and to yield themselves, as he did, to God.
