Christ could not have done so even had he been (as he was not) willing. He had no other public but a Jewish one. With his death the Gospel was really ex- pelled from Palestine, and driven necessarily to Greece, Asia and Rome if it was to have a home anywhere. One might well fancy one saw a divine Providence in the fact that precisely at the conjuncture when Christianity had to go to the Gentiles or to perish, there arose the one man capable of carrying it along the great ways of the world. Paul... was at once the most and the least Jewish of men. ' Hebrew of the Hebrews/ he was yet at one and the same time a Greek, a Roman and a Jew, a debtor, as he truly says, both to the Greeks and the Barbarians. His Greek culture, though it is the fashion to make light of it, is abundantly manifested. He had ' sat at the feet of Gamaliel, ' whom we know to have been a Hellenist. He cites the aphorisms of the Greek poets. He flatters the Athenians (' I per- ceive that you are exceedingly religious ') like an orator of their own decadence.
