Overview

The Words of the Apostle Paul by John Eadie, with a foreword by Cyril J. Barber, is a comprehensive and insightful study of the language and theology of Paul’s epistles. This 1985 reprint by Klock & Klock Christian Publishers reflects Eadie’s commitment to exploring the etymology and meaning of Paul’s words as a way of deepening readers' understanding of Scripture. Eadie’s scholarship, influenced by his theological training at the University of Glasgow and his extensive teaching and pastoral work, is both detailed and engaging. This volume serves as a timeless resource for Bible students, theologians, and readers interested in the theological depth of Paul’s writings.

Eadie studied in the University of Glasgow. Due to his mother's poverty he was compelled to support himself through this period of training-something to which the British system of education does not

easily lend itself. While taking formal studies in biblical literature, Eadie developed a liking for the kind of research and investigation into the etymology and usage of words found in Scripture. As time passed

this became one of the strengths of his teaching and is now to be found in his commentaries. Upon graduating from the university, Eadie was licensed to preach. His first sermon was delivered as his mother was dying and he had to hurry to her bedside. Mrs. Eadie's influence upon her son has been aluded to by one biographer who wrote: "The religious influence which she had already exercised on him was much deepened by her death. She was a strong-minded woman, well read in the popular theology of Scot- land, and deeply imbued with its spirit." This heritage she bequeathed to John and her influence upon his life never left him.

Eadie pastored only one church - a ministry which lasted for 41 years. First located on Cambridge Street, Glasgow, the congregation later moved to the outskirts of the city and became known as the Lands-

downe Church. The effect of Eadie's ministry upon this congregation was felt throughout Glasgow and, to a lesser extent, upon all of Scotland. Eadie began his teaching career part-time in 1838. By 1843 he had been appointed Professor of Semitics in the United Presbyterian Secession's Divinity Hall. In 1843, while only 33, he was honored with the Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Glasgow, and seven years later received the coveted Doctor of Divinity degree from the University of St. Andrews.
