| Summary: | Human nature does not seem to change its general make-up in the course of a few thousand years. Men have learned self-control and self-determination. They have built up an environment of social institutions into which their successors have been born. But the fundamental problems which the men of the New Testament times faced were very similar to those which we face. Of course they had different apparatus for question and answer. They lacked much knowledge of nature which we have, and of course they lacked all knowledge of the history which followed them. But whoever read the autograph letters of Paul would sympathize with our efforts to apply his principles to our own conditions. |
