Life and Epistles of St. Paul, Volume 1

Thomas Lewin

Nothing but a careful inspection of the work itself can give the reader an adequate idea of the thouroughness with which Mr. Lewin has carried out his plan - a plan which may be described as the giving of all information possibly attainable about every person or place connected directly or even indirectly with St. Paul. It is impossible to speak too highly of the general sketches of Roman and Jewish history with which he illustrates, and, indeed makes intelligible, the Apostle's career. His contributions to the chronology of his subject are also invaluable. Indeed he has, in this matter, an authority unrivalled among English scholars. Another excellent feature of his book is the practice of introducing in their proper place the various Epsitles, presented in a translation judiciously revised, but not substantially revised from the authorized version. - Summary by The Spectator
