A salutation, 1 - 7; 2dly, a brief expression of some personal wishes and concerns, in order to pave the way for the subset quent address at v. 18, which forms the grand theme of the Epistle, and especially the subject of all that follows up to the end of chap. V. First, St. Paul exhibits the nature of his office of Apostle, set apart to it by Christ himself, and constituted especially to be an Apostle to the Gentiles, to promote the knowledge of the Saviour among them as well as the Jews; and, according ly, he wishes them every needful blessing, tem poral and Spiritual. He thanks God that their faith in Christ is such as to be a matter of univer sal notice, and assures them how ardently he has wished to visit them; mentioning what had pre vented him from carrying his wish into execution. He expresses his desire to preach among them as well as other Gentiles, and mentions the reason why, - namely, because he conceives himself un der obligation to preach the Gospel to all the Gentiles, and because he knows that that Gospel is able, by God's mighty help, to save all who embrace it, both Jews and Gentiles.

Excerpt: ...confessed, that the usually received opinion of our Malta being the island on which St. Paul was wrecked, is supported by several forcible arguments, which powerfully plead in its favour; though, on the contrary, the opinion and arguments of the learned Bryant and other able critics, and it may be presumed some of the observations which follow in this and the subsequent chapter, seem to carry much weight, if not the preponderance.

Why is there so much worship and so little real commitment to living out the Gospel? How can there be so much participation in the sacraments and so little growth and transformation in most of our lives? In this challenging book of practical theology, Regis Duffy tackles vital questions that are seldom asked, let alone answered. Basing his argument solidly on the New Testament and core Christian teaching, Duffy shows how ritual, sacrament, worship, and community have real meaning and worth only when they function as effective symbols of transformation and renewed commitment. What is often lacking is not God's presence, but our own. By relating individual sacraments (Initiation Eucharist, Penance) to studies of the life cycle and stages of faith, Real Presence presents a compelling vision of what genuine participation in the Christian community involves throughout our lives. Contents: - The Cutting Edge of Faith: Commitment - Unearned Gifts and Their Symbols - Conflict as Crossroads for the Christian - A Question of Presence - The People in the Water - Servants at Table - Fragmented Stories - The Future Community Now.
