A Jewish View of St. Paul.

In the * Jewish Review,' MrMontefiore publishes a very interesting and sug gestive analysis of the doctrines of the Apostle Paul as they appear m the eyes' of & modern Jew. He says:—The Epistles of Paul fill a new-comer wich im mense astonishment. They are so unique. They are so wholly unlike anything else he has ever read. Humanity is composed of Jews and Gentiles. It is m their rela tion to God that Paul's great pre-emi nence, his big religious advance, his most permanent contribution to religion, con sist, His conception of the Law, his theory of Christ, his views about Israel, his doctrine of justification, seem all not only original, but utterly strange and un expected. His break with the past is violent. Jesus seems to expand and spiritualise Judaism. Paul m some senses turns it upside down. In his eyes the main purpose of the revelation to Moses and of the giving of fche Law was to make things worse, to increase the quantity, and to accentuate the sharpness of sin. " The Law came m beside that the tres pass might abound." In no other point does the originality of Paul show itself more decisively. Such an absolute bouleversement of th.c Jewish

0 conception of the law is not'to be ex plained by any influence o£ Hellenism. It Is purely due to the daring eonius of its author. For Paul the significance of Christ's work lies almost exclusively m His crucifixion and resurrection. His work is essentially miraculous and super natural, Paul was a disciple of Jesus, m so far as the Messiahship and Cruci fixion and Resurrection were concerned ; bub to the teaching of Jesus, as such, he rarely alludes. Many thoughts, and even difficulties, are raised by Paul's theory. Firsc of all, we notice that it is historically inaccurate. It ia doubtful whether any one hefore Paul evar felt that the Law was " the sbrengtb of sin," or was driven through the Law to spiritual despair. Paul & theory, if I understand it rightly, seems to me as religiously cruel as it is historically fake. What God is that who has given unto man a law which man must necessarily disobey, who has offered a condition for salvation which must ne cessarily be unfulfilled 1 We have now passed through the main points m Paul's attack upon the Law. We have seen that while given apparently fer eternity, its real purpose was only temporary. Its seeming object was to make men better, and; to qualify them for the Kingdom of God ; its true object was to create the knowledge and the lust of sin. At its best, its intended result was to stimulate a desire for redemption through the medium of a spiritual despair ; at its worst it led almost inevitably to self delusion, hypocrisy, and pride. It claims fulfilment, but no man can fulfil it; it de mands obedience, bufc none can obey. Ib threatens the transgressor with a curse, but it Was only given thab transgression might abound j it promises the doer of it reward, but the reward is beyond man's power to attain. Truly an awful gift from God ; a marvellous issue of evil from that [ which m itself was tc ho?y and righteous and good." Surely the disproportion of effect to cause is itself enough to prove the error of the argument. Paul's zeal for righteousness and holy living is essentially Jewish. His tre mendous enthusiasm for his cause, which J is at once religious and ethical, gives this I zeal a glow and fervency peculiarly his own. His hatred of sin is veiy inspiring. Equally striking, I think, is his grasp upon the essentials of morality. There is a unity m hia ethics : the virtues hang to gether. On one or two principles, whether religious or ethical, all eeem to depend. Nor can we forget that the great Apostle of faith has yet placed faith below love. This seems the culminating proof of the fact th-*t no trace of ethical antinomianism can be elicited from the Epistles of Paul.
