In depth of thought, felicity of diction, argumentative ability and profundity of theology, this epistle deservedly ranks pre-eminent. Paul’s evolution of the redemptive scheme out of the Abrahamic covenant is a masterly climax of Biblical truth and logical power. His salvation allegory, deduced and elucidated from the family of Abraham, is unsurpassed in beauty, symmetry, theology and practical and experimental truth. He wields the mattock of infallible inspiration with a Samsonian hand, digging dead legalism and empty ritualism and human manipulations out by the roots, and hanging high the old upas-tree on the fence of spirituality for the effulgent Sun of Righteousness to wither into smithereens world without end.
