THE EPIC OF PAUL

A SEQUEL TO "THE EPIC OF SAUL"

The action of The Epic of Paul begins with that conspiracyformed at Jerusalem against the life of the apostle,which in the sequel led to a prolonged suspension of his freemissionary career. It embraces the incidents of his removalfrom Jerusalem to Cæsarea, of his imprisonment at the latterplace, of his journey to Rome for trial before Cæsar, and ofhis final martyrdom. The design of the poem as a whole is topresent through conduct on Paul's part and through speechfrom him, a living portrait of the man that he was, togetherwith a reflex of his most central and most characteristic teaching.Its descriptions are vivid, and it brings the reader's mindinto close touch with the great spirit of Paul. It is a poem inwhich dignity, beauty, and power are commingled with a rarecharm.

AN APPRECIATIVE CRITICISM.

"Noble as was Dr. Wilkinson's 'Epic of Saul,' his 'Epic of Paul' iseven nobler. The kingliness of its range; the majesty of its principalfigure; the fascination of its subordinate figures; the subtlety of itscharacterizations; the pathos of its interviews; the intricate consistencyof its plot; the conscientiousness of its exegesis and allusions; thesplendor of its imaginations; the nobility of its ethics; the stateliness ofits rhythm; the grandeur of its evolution—these are some of the characteristicswhich make 'The Epic of Paul' another necessary volume inthe library of every clergyman, philosopher, and litterateur."

—Rev. George Dana Boardman, D.D.
