The Missionary Method Of Paul As Demonstrated In The Book Of Acts, William Graumann
The Missionary Method Of Paul As Demonstrated In The Book Of Acts, William Graumann
Bachelor of Divinity
This topic will be discussed under a survey of the passages in the Book of Acts, showing the direct reference to methods where that is possible, and pointing out the implications where the methods are not directly stated. In connection with this we wish to make applications to our own missionary methods, which we feel should not only increase our zeal for missions, but should enable us to bring the Gospel in a more effective way to more souls.
The Last Years Of St. Paul, Valentine Eichenlaub
The Last Years Of St. Paul, Valentine Eichenlaub
Bachelor of Divinity
The Book of Acts ends with the statement that "Paul dwelt two whole years in his own hired house, and received all that came in unto him, preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching those things which concern the Lord Jesus Christ, with all confidence, no man forbidding him". The inspired writer does not tell us what took place after that. Hence we ask, did the period terminate with the Apostle's condemnation and death or with his acquittal and liberation? Naturally we have no absolute proof for either contention.

The Companions Of St. Paul, Hugo W. Wolter

Bachelor of Divinity
The question of Paul’s last years is one which has been agitating the minds of Bible scholars for many years. The failure of the Holy Spirit to give us any definite Information as to the time and place of his death is to a great extent responsible for this controversy. Tradition, likewise, while it is unaninous on some points relating to the Apostle's last days and death, leaves us in the lurch when we approach the question of the exact date of Paul's death. The result of this uncertainty is not merely a contention regarding the date of Paul's martyrdom, …
Chronology Of The Life Of St. Paul, P F. Plunkett
Chronology Of The Life Of St. Paul, P F. Plunkett
Bachelor of Divinity
Though properly an historical rather than a theological problem, the chronology of Paul's life is important in the field of Bible study, and is closely related to several theological questions, including that of the reliability of Scripture and the authenticity of several books accepted by the church as canonical. Its treatment is historical, but much of the freedom for specualtion indulged in by the average student of history is denied the scholar who treats this subject. Anything which cannot be established with reasonable certainty must be left an open question, and the integrity of the Scripture must remain unmolested.
