SOURCES OF ST. PAUL'S ETHICAL TEACHING.

THERE are two preliminary questions to be considered in connection with the ethical teaching of St. Paul : Whence did he derive this teaching? In what documents has it been preserved?

I. Sources of Teaching.

The first of these questions is important ; because Pauline ethics, even more than Pauline doctrine, stands in a certain lineal succession, and bears the traces of its descent. The morality of the New Testament was not an entirely new thing, and although it would be wrong to regard it as a mere development, yet it had a close connection with the morality of the Old Testament and Apocrypha. The late Dean Church in a well-known work has sketched the gradual unfolding of the Christian character from its initial stages to its culmination in Christ. The reader who does not look back cannot understand the full significance of the teaching of St. Paul. Our information regarding the early life of the great Apostle is meagre ; and this makes it more difficult to measure the influences of the various i forces which bore upon him. Three great civilisations met in him : he was by descent a Jew; was born in a Greek city ; and was a Roman citizen. His life, therefore, was influenced by streams of thought issuing from Palestine, from Greece, and from Rome. Each of them can be traced in his teaching.

(b) Jewish, especially that of the Old Testament.
(c) The life and words of Jesus Christ.
