Book Overview

The Conception of Authority in the Pauline Writings is a book written by Alonzo Willard Fortune and published in 1918. The book explores the concept of authority as presented in the writings of the apostle Paul in the New Testament. Fortune examines the various forms of authority that Paul discusses, including the authority of God, the authority of Christ, and the authority of Paul himself as an apostle. He also considers how Paul's understanding of authority relates to other themes in his writings, such as salvation, the church, and ethics. The book provides a detailed analysis of the language and concepts used by Paul to describe authority and offers insights into the broader theological and social context in which Paul was writing. The Conception of Authority in the Pauline Writings is a valuable resource for scholars and students of biblical studies, theology, and Christian history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
