Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epistle of Paul to the Colossians N the great subject of the Epistle to the Colossians our English classic is Marshall's Gospel zwysz'ery of Sanelifieafz'on. This work was first published in 1692, and has ever since been regarded as unapproached in describing faith's use of the Christ's fulness for all possible human requirement; directions 3, 4, and 12 being peculiarly valuable. We have several other works in English richly suggestive of the topic generally; Bishop Hall's C/zrz'st Mystical and Mr. Polhil's Cfirz'szzes z'n Corde being prominent. S. Bernard's Sermons to kz's Monks on the Carztz'eles is a Latin fountain of similarly directed mystical thought. For practical exhibition of Paul's teaching on personal daily intimacy between Christ and His people, Rutherford's letters have never been equalled, nor are likely to be on this side our Lord's return. In the following commentary I have endeavoured to reproduce the thought of the letter in the verbal expression employed by the Apostle. Two words determine that thought pleroma (fulness) and musterion (secret). By keeping these prominent, and giving them their Pauline adjustment to each other, the letter has been found much less difficult to follow. It is because I have found this for myself that I have ventured to adopt it in the following pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Paul to the Colossians and Philemon TO urge these and the like truths this letter is written. Its central principle is the sovereign and exclusive mediation Of Jesus Christ, the God-man, the victorious antagonist Of these dead speculations, and the destined conqueror Of all the doubts and con fusions Of this day. If we grasp with mind and heart that truth, we can possess our souls in patience, and in its light see light where else is darkness and uncertainty.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Paul's Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon: A Revised Text With Introductions, Notes, and Dissertations In the commentary, as well as in the introduction, it has been a chief aim to illustrate and develope the theological conception of the Person of Christ, which underlies the Epistle to the Colossians. The Colossian heresy for instance owes its importance mainly to the fact that it throws out this conception into bolder relief. To this portion of the subject therefore I venture to direct special attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Epistle of Paul to the Romans Classic Reprint written by J. P. Lange and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-14 with total page 468 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epistle of Paul to the Romans The Epistle to the Romans is the Epistle of the Epistles, as the Gospel of John is the Gospel of the Gospels. It is the heart of the doctrinal portion of the New Testament. It presents in systematic order the fundamental truths of Christianity in their primitive purity, inexhaustible depth, all-conquering force, and never-failing comfort. It is the bulwark of the evangelical doctrines of sin and grace against the obscuration of the gospel, whether by judaizing bigotry or paganizing licentiousness. Addressed to the Christians at Rome, and unfolding to them the gospel as a spiritual power of God unto salvation far exceeding in effect, and outlasting in time, the temporal power of the Imperial City, it prophetically anticipates and positively overthrows every essential error of Romanism, and is to this day the best antidote against popery. No wonder that it was so highly prized by the Reformers. Luther, whom Coleridge regarded "the only fit commentator on Paul," called the Romans "the chief part of the New Testament, and the purest gospel, well worthy to be committed to memory word for word by every Christian man, and to be pondered daily and enjoyed as the daily bread of the soul. It can never be too often nor too well read and considered, and the more it is understood, the better it tastes." Those who have studied it most carefully, are most likely to fall in with the judgment of Coleridge, that it is "the most profound work in existence." But it is certainly also the most difficult book of the New Testament, unless we except the Gospel of John and the Revelation. Meyer, the ablest philological exegete of the age, humbly confesses, in the preface to the fourth edition of his commentary, to a growing sense of our inability to do justice to "the grandest, the boldest, and, in all its depths and heights, the most complete composition of the greatest apostle." If St. Peter did not hesitate to state that there are "some things hard to be understood" in the Epistles of his "beloved brother Paul," we need not be surprised that even such divines as occupy the same general platform widely differ in their interpretations. The Epistle to the Romans, more than any other, is a battle-field; and every chapter, especially the third, the fifth, the seventh, and the ninth, is contested ground. Not a few commentators deal with it as Procrustes dealt with his victims, in adapting them to the length of his iron bedstead - either stretching out or cutting off their legs. But after all, vast progress has been made, especially within the last fifty years, toward an impartial and thorough understanding of this wonderful production of a wonderful man.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Paul's Epistles to the Colossians and to Philemon: A Revised d104, With Introductions, Notes and Dissertations On the completion of another volume of my commentary, I wish again to renew my thanks for the assistance received from previous labourers in the same field. Such obligations must always be great; but it is not easy in a few words to apportion them fairly, and I shall not make the attempt. I have not consciously neglected any aid which might render this volume more complete; but at the same time I venture to hope that my previous commentaries have established my claim to be regarded as an independent worker, and in the present instance more especially I have found myself obliged to diverge widely from the treatment of my predecessors, and to draw largely from other materials than those which they have collected. In the preface to a previous volume I expressed an intention of appending to my commentary on the Colossian Epistle an essay on 'Christianity and Gnosis.' This intention has not been fulfilled in the letter; but the subject enters largely into the investigation of the Colossian heresy, where it receives as much attention as, at all events for the present, it seems to require. It will necessarily come under discussion again, when the Pastoral Epistles are taken in hand. The question of the genuineness of the two epistles contained in this volume has been deliberately deferred.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Epistle to the Colossians: Analysis and Examination Notes Visit of Epaphras. From time to time during his imprisonment, St. Paul would receive visitors from distant churches; some perhaps coming on other business to the great metropolis Of the world, some sent for by the Apostle himself, some coming with messages of inquiry. One such visitor was Epaphroditus, who brought affectionate gifts from the Philippian Church (phil. Iv. And who took back with him the Epistle to the Philippians. Another was Epaphras, who came with disturbing tidings respect ing some of the churches of proconsular Asia. A serious heresy - partly of Jewish, partly of Gentile origin and character (see p. 9) - was threatening the Church at Colossae, and possibly neighbouring churches also. Epa phras came, apparently, to lay the matter before the Apostle and to ask his advice. He was himself a Colossian (iv. And had been the Apostle's agent in founding the Church at his native city (i. He had ever striven fervently for its welfare (iv. 12, 13) his work had hitherto met with a certain amount of success, for the Christians' at Colossae were well organized, and had so far been stedfast in faith (ii. Conversion of Onesimus. At the same time another Colossian had found his way to Rome and to St. Paul, viz. Onesimus, the runaway slave of Philemon, a wealthy Christian at Colossae, who was himself a very dear friend Of the Apostle, to whom, indeed, he owed his conversion. How Onesimus was drawn to St. Paul we do not know. Possibly he had seen the Apostle in earlier days when Philemon had visited Ephesus. In any case the present encounter led to Onesimus being taught by St. Paul, and transformed from a good-for-nothing Slave into a faithful and beloved brother (lightfoot). He becamea valuable attendant upon the Apostle, ' but his old master had legal rights which St. Paul was too honourable to refuse to recognize, and the question with him was how to send Onesimus back to his master without fear of his receiving severe punishment.
