Man in Christ: The Vital Elements of St. Paul's Religion (Classic Reprint)

Edinburgh at the invitation of the Cunningham Trustees. It aims at disentangling Paul spersonal religion from the schemes and scholasticisms beneath which later generations have buried it. The conviction has grown steadily upon me that union with Christ, rather than justification or election or eschatology, or indeed any of the other great apostolic themes, is the real clue to an understanding of Paul sthought and experience; and I have followed this newer line of approach throughout. It is my hope that the pages which follow may have something to say, not only to Pauline students, but also to the general reader, and particularly to those who to-day are seeking by a fresh study of the New Testament a surer grip of the centralities of the faith and a deepening of their own spiritual life. My thanks are due to the Cunningham Council, whose generous invitation supplied the initial impetus for this study ;to the Professors and students of New College, Edinburgh, for the cordiality with which they received the lectures; to my friends, the Rev. Professor W. R. Forrester, M.C., B.D., St. Mary s College, St. A ndrews, and the Rev. William Hamilton, M.A., A berdeen, who have read the proofs; and to my wife, without whose constant encouragement the task could hardly have been seen through to an end.
