To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
They both deny the existence of progress and development in Paul's doctrine ; they sever the delicate nerves, of which we have spoken, that connected his spiritual thought and his spiri- tual life. The former theory assumes that he received his doctrinal system from heaven complete in its dialec- x PREFACE. tical organization and its exegetical demonstrations a thing absolutely inconceivable, since reasoning always implies effort on the part of the productive intelligence. The second school tre...ats Paul as though, after his conversion, he had lived in solitude like a philosopher, creating by means of speculation and logic the entire doctrinal system that he was after- wards to preach, to expound, and defend before the C world. In both instances there is the assumption I that his mental and doctrinal development was com- / plete from the outset, and was neither disturbed nor stimulated by new conflicts as they arose, by the arguments of opponents, and by the experiences of his busy and exciting life.
