Paul's Certainties
And Other Sermons
Language: English
Release Date: September 24, 2017
No one can read the Epistles of Paul with any care without noticing in them a strange mingling of humility and assurance in the Apostle’s references to himself.

There is no question to which the human soul more eagerly desires a clear and sure answer than this one: “If a man die, shall he live again?” It is an old, old question. Job asked it long ago in an agony. The one fact he could see, the one fact which admitted of no challenge or dispute, was the...
