Description
Excerpt from Servants of the King
The Bible itself is, in the main, simply a book of biographies. The most wonderful part of it is the biography of Jesus. The next most wonderful is the life and letters of Saint Paul. And almost all of the Old Testament is either the record of men''s lives or God''s revelation through men who, in pro claiming the message which had been given to them of God, also unawares laid bare their own inmost souls. Through the lives of men and of his own Son, God has revealed his truth, and in the record of their lives reveals it still.
And we learn best what this revelation of God means and can effect, by studying it, first in itself, and then in true men who have studied it and iwho are living by it. Of all such, none have lived more richly or originally than the missionaries who have gone out to live now such lives as Paul lived, and to work such work as Paul wrought nearly nineteen centuries ago.
