Excerpt from Library of the Theological Seminary: Princeton; New Jersey His education in Jerusalem probably began when he was twelve or thirteen - the beginning of manhood, according to Jewish opinion. His teacher Gamaliel was called by his contemporaries the Beauty of the Law, and is still remembered among the Jews as the great Rabbi. He was no enemy of Greek culture, although devoted to the traditions of the Fathers; and for a time the pupil was less tolerant than his teacher. The training consisted entirely of the study of the Scriptures, with the interpretations given by previous teachers. There was free questioning and keen dis cussion, so that the scholars had their wits sharpened and their powers of speech developed. Paul's letters abound in proofs of how much he owed to this training. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
