It is fortunate that the understanding of the general subject of an epistle of Paul does not depend on a decision on the question concerning when and to whom the letter was written.

Nevertheless, there are allusions to incidents and personal contacts which call for a enquiry into the these questions if we are to understand all Paul's words. But sometimes his words admit of different explanations and there may be two views, both possible but both correct. Yet some may think the balances of evidence is on one side, while others take the opposite view. The discussions that have taken by capable scholars, and the dogmatism with which rival views have been started, might be though sufficient reason for leaving the subject alone. But anyone who essays to write an exposition for the epistle is compelled to a decision.
(From the Preface)

 

“There is nothing in ancient or modern language to be compared with this epistle. All the powers of Paul’s soul shine forth in its few pages. Broad and luminous view, keen logic, biting irony, everything that is most forcible in argument, vehement in indignation, ardent and tender in affection, is found here, combined and pured forth in a single stream, forming a work of irresistable power.”

Over many years the author has studied this epistle. As a possible help to others to understand in some measure this epistle of “our beloved brother Paul”, “the Lord’s ambassador to us Gentiles”, this volume is published.
