Subject: Multiple authors for Paul's epistles? |
Bible Note: Greetings Hank! I agree with your 'Famous Theory #166'! The words that were written down were Paul's words and not those of someone else.. However, I was wondering if those of whom I mentioned actually helped Paul write his letters, since they are usually mentioned in the first verse or afterwards.. He could have just mentioned their names because of the fact that they were 'present' or there with Paul. I was wondering if anyone had delved a little deeper into this. I agree with this: "I've always pictured Paul as a man literally bubbling over with zeal for the Lord Jesus, his words fervently tripping off his tongue, gushing out with such rapidity that they fairly well bumped into each other, so eager was he to spread the word of the gospel of Christ to the world. I would imagine that he would have presented quite a challenge to a secretary to pace with his verbal outpouring." Excellent observation and thanks Hank! Nolan |
