Sonderdruck. Condition: Gut. pp. 19-36. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Author's name handwritten on cover, cover a bit rubbed and bumped, otherwise good and clean. - From the text: The trouble with Paul has always been to put him in his place. It is not only that it may have been hard to understand or put up with what he was saying (e. g. 2 Cor. 6,8 ; 2 Pet. 3,16). People also objected to the way he said it; his personal bearing was unimpressive and his style of speech contemptible (2 Cor. 10,10). It is not clear to us precisely what kind of social and literary prejudices inspired these complaints. But a convincing explanation of them would probably do much to open up the picture of PauPs place in the society of his day. He has been too much at home in modern times for us to appreciate how acute his alienation from his own may have been. But the orthodox fathers, even though they were also willing to give Paul the benefit of the doubt, could not escape the task of explaining it so easily. They had to face it because they still spoke the same language. It was no doubt professional pride that encouraged them to say that the difficulties must have been put there by the Holy Spirit as a test for exegetes. But they could not deny that Paul would have been easier to follow if he had kept to the classical models of expression they themselves accepted. Jewish believers, to judge by the polemical tradition now also retrieved from a Muslim adaptation, complained that it all came of using Greek in the first place.
