An excerpt from the beginning of CHAPTER I. 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. It is necessary also to take into account elements in his teaching which were due to his remarkable personality. We may now proceed to examine the sources of the Apostle's teaching under four heads: (a) Græco-Roman. (b) Jewish, especially that of the Old Testament. (c) The life and words of Jesus Christ. (d) The working of St. Paul's powerful mind upon the morally fruitful idea of the believer's union with Christ. Our inquiry commences therefore at the circumference and works towards the centre....

Rare-book expert Peter Fallon and his girlfriend, Evangeline, the main characters from Back Bay and Harvard Yard, are back for another treasure hunt through time. They have learned of an early, annotated draft of the Constitution, stolen and smuggled out of Philadelphia. The draft’s marginal notes spell out, in shocking detail, the Founders’ unequivocal intentions―the unmistakable meaning of the Bill of Rights. Peddled and purloined, trafficked and concealed for over two centuries, the lost Constitution could forever change America’s history―and its future.Moreover, Congress is already at war, fighting tooth and claw over the eternally contentious Bill of Rights. When word gets out of the lost draft’s existence, it launches a frenzied search, as both sides of the partisan machine believe it will reinforce their arguments. While battling politicians from both sides of the debate, Peter and Evangeline must get to the document first, because they know that if the wrong people find it, they will burn it, stripping the nation of its constitutional moorings.The search takes Peter and Evangeline into the rich history of America and New England, from Shays’s Rebellion to the birth of the American industrial revolution to the march of the legendary 20th Maine in the Civil War.Past and present play off one another as the search for the draft heats up. It finally boils over on the first night of the World Series, at that Mecca of New England, Boston’s fabled Fenway Park, and the truth is finally revealed....

Treasure hunters Peter Fallon and Evangeline Carrington are heading for adventure in Washington D.C., the sleek, modern, power-hungry capital of America...and the crowded, muddy, intrigue-filled nexus of the Civil War. Their prize? A document of incredible historical importance and incalculable value: Abraham Lincoln's diary. What if Lincoln recorded his innermost thoughts as he moved toward the realization that he must free the slaves? And what if that diary slipped from his fingers in 1862?
