Baur says, in his "Apostle Paul" (1, 8):--"Not only has no
suspicion of the authenticity of these Epistles even arisen, but
they bear so incontestably the seal of the originality of Paul,
that one cannot comprehend for what reason critics could raise
any objection to them."
Weizsæker writes (Apost. Zeitalter, 1866, p. 190):--"The letters
to the Galatians and the Corinthians are, without doubt, from the
hand of the Apostle; from his hand also came incontestably the
Epistle to the Romans."
Holtzmann says ("Einleit in's N. T.," p. 224):--"These four
Epistles are the Pauline Homologoumena (books universally
received) in the modern acceptation of the word. We can realize,
with respect to them, the proof of authenticity undertaken by
Paley against the free-thinkers of his time."
M. Renan in _The Gospels_ (pp. 40, 41), thus expresses
himself:--"The epistles of Paul have an unequaled advantage in
this history--that is, their absolute authenticity." Of the
Epistles to the Corinthians, the Galatians, and the Romans, Renan
speaks as "indisputable and undisputed;" and adds, "The most
severe critics, such as Christian Baur, accept them without
objection."
=7. Archeological Evidence Confirming the Bible.=--Prof. A. H.
Sayce, M. A., sums up his learned treatise on the testimony of
the ancient monuments, thus:--"The critical objections to the
truth of the Old Testament, once drawn from the armory of Greek
and Latin writers, can never be urged again; they have been met
and overthrown once for all. The answers to them have come from
papyrus and clay and stone, from the tombs of ancient Egypt, from
the mounds of Babylonia, and from the ruined palaces of the
Assyrian kings."
