SAINT PAUL

From the March 1886 issue of The Christian Science Journal


In the criticism of some scholars, Christianity owes more to Paul than to Jesus; partly because Jesus left no written word, whereas Paul wrote letters which constitute a large part of the New Testament—14 books (or 13, if we omit Hebrews, the doubtfulness of whose authorship is generally conceded) out of 27. The genuineness of other Pauline epistles is questioned by many, but this need not be considered in this paragraph, which is written to call attention to a small volume by Rev.
