E-Book Overview
In 1845, F. C. Baur published Paul the Apostle of Jesus Christ, in which he presented his theory of two rival missions in the first-century church. So began a debate concerning the nature of Paul’s relationship to the Jerusalem apostles that continues today. With this reprint of the English translation, Baur’s two-volume classic is once again available, now bound together in one book.

TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE.
T H E object of the Committee of the Theological Transla tion Fund is to place within the reach of English readers who are not conversant with the languages
of
the Conti
nent, the best results of recent Continental theological inves tigations.
In
accordance with
this
object, the Translator
of the present volume has endeavoured to give the meaning of the Author clearly and concisely,
and has avoided the
temptation of making smooth sentences and rounded periods. The Translator is perfectly aware that the English is by no means a model of diction or of style, but challenges criticism as to the faithfulness of the translation—and as criticism, like punishment, is useless unless remedial, hopes to profit "in the second volume by the criticism on the first. If the book can be readily understood by those for whom it is intended, its aim will be attained. A . P.
