PREFACE
This volume comprises a paraphrase of the first ten
epistles of Paul, arranged in their probable chronological
order, with brief introductions and analyses. The bodyof
the text is reproduced, with some revision,from my "Epis-
tles of Paul in Modern English," published in 1898. It is
believed that the explanations which are here given of the
time, place, and occa ion of each letter,and the indications
respecting the contents and movement of thought in each,
will materially increase the convenience and usefulness of
the work.
In a second volume will be comprised the other eleven
epistles of the New Testament, in a similar arrangement,
and with similar explanations.
George Barker Stevens.
