Paul and the Revolt: Against Him (Classic Reprint)

Rufus Choate that after he had addressed a jury in an important case (which, of course, if it was Choate, he won), a friend of his who had listened to his argument rallied him by saying: Do you know, Mr. Choate, there was one point in your address to the jury that you went over not less than six times? Yes, I know that very well, was the reply; I got six men of the jury the first time I made that point. The rest, all but one man, fell in one after another, as I went on; but to get the twelfth man I had to go over that point, as you noted, up to six times but on the sixth I got him. I fear there may be among my readers some so firmly set against the contention of my book the contention, namely, for Paul as authoritative teacher of Christian doctrine that I shall fail to win them over at last; but, as they will find, if they continue to read, it will not be for lack of the sixth repetition! I do not apologize, but I show that I am aware of the repetitions that occur of certain topics, under varying forms of expres sion, and answering to different aspects observed from different points of view.
