is ascribed to Saint Luke.

Pauls 3 do

Interval adventisms between Pauls 21 d of Visits. Paul and their expeditions.

Reason to be assigned for

attracting the credibility of the
Acts though at the expence hazard
of that of the whole history
of Jesus – deriving his
doctrine from the
added asceticism.

history, saving except as to
such articles in respect of
which particular reason
appears to the contrary.

Positions

1. Pauls title to the appellation
an Apostle: it is upon his own showing groundless. Ch.

2. Pauls Character. On
his own showing was not such as to warrant
confidence: as to
1. Philanthropy. 2. Veracity. Ch. 3.

3. Pauls Motives – Without
special call from God
worldly motives merely
worldly were sufficient
to account for his conduct.
Ch. 4

4. Evidence on which
his claim to such special
call rests, a set of Visions.
Insufficiency of
such evidence. Ch. 5

5. Pauls Conversion –
Inconsistency as well as
mendibility of the relations
given of it.
Ch. 6.

6. Pauls supposed Miracles:
no add by the
accounts given of them no
addition is made to his
trustworthiness

7. Acts of the Apostles
Trustworthiness of the
Narrative thus intituled
questionable in itself: irreconciliable
with the
Gospel History.

8. Aspect of the Apostles
towards Paul: by
them from first to last
he is regarded
as an imposter.
Ch.

9. Pauls temper. Its
badness when compared
with that of the Apostles.
Ch.

10. Pauls Style: presumption
of insincerity
afforded by it.
Ch.

11. Paul's Success:
no proof or presumption
of his claim to the Apostleship
afforded by it.
