4.9/5 (34387 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from In Its Relation to Jewish and Hellenistic Religion It is my purpose in the following pages to examine in detail the Pauline idea of faith, which was fundamental in the Apostle's conception of Christianity. What is the content of the idea in Paul? How is it related to trust in Jahveh, which was so prominent an element in Hebrew and Jewish piety? Was there anything analogous to the Pauline idea of faith in the religious thought of the Graeco-Roman world or in the Oriental mystery cults, which enjoyed great popularity in the West during the centuries immediately preceding and following the advent of Christianity? These are the questions which I shall endeavor to answer. This treatise in substantially its present form was accepted by the Graduate Faculty of the Union Theological Seminary in the City of New York in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Divinity. I desire to express my hearty thanks to four of my friends and former teachers for their kindness in reading my manuscript and making certain valuable suggestions - to President Francis Brown and Professor Arthur C. McGiffert of the Union Theological Seminary and to Professors George F. Moore and James H. Ropes of Harvard University. I also wish to thank Professor Robert E. Hume of the former of these institutions for some helpful suggestions concerning my discussion of Hellenistic religion. But chiefly am I indebted to Professor James Everett Frame of the Union Theological Seminary, under whose supervision the work was begun and carried through to completion. He has generously and cheerfully counseled and directed me in my labors, and I take pleasure in making this acknowledgment of my obligation to him.
