'Professor A. M. Hunter of Aberdeen has performed many valued services to the student world and to the busy pastor in his preaching and parish work; but no previous book of his is more timely in its appearance than The Gospel according to St Paul. The reason is obvious. For here in short compass and in, a readable style, Prof. Hunter has distilled a great deal of New Testament teaching and much practical wisdom - and in a way which the preacher will find most palatable. But the timeliness of this book is nothing short of providential. In a day when Paul is assailed by many moderns, this book comes with a refreshing positiveness and convincing appeal. And at a time when our youngsters are all eager to pick up the latest vagary, it is good to be reminded that Paul has still his contemporary defenders, who are concerned not so much to read into Paul their own ideas as to listen patiently to what his teaching contains. This surely is the supreme value of Dr Hunter's little book' (Christian).
