Excerpt from Paul the Preacher: Or a Popular and Practical Exposition of His Discourses and Speeches, as Recorded in the Acts of the Apostles
The following pages are simply what they profess to be in the title - neither a life of Paul, nor a commentary on the "Acts" but an honest and hearty attempt to explain and apply in a popular and practical shape to the common reader, the spoken words of the apostle. So that there is no array of minute criticism or technical exegesis, no formal quotation of authorities, or classified enumeration of conflicting views. My uniform effort has been to bring out briefly and clearly the apostles meaning, without much regard to the form which the exposition may assume; to give the result without detailing the process; to be in short as the dial of the watch, which shows the hour while it conceals the mechanism. The various chapters are not sermons bearing on the subject, nor disquisitions on allied or collateral topics, though my aim has been throughout to press the truth on the attention and conscience; for what brought salvation then is fraught with the same blessing still - the gospel of the first century being in no sense different from that of the nineteenth.
