Mr. Newman's statement as to Paul is wholly unfounded- worse than unfounded. Paul recognizes the authority of the Old Testament in the fullest possible manner, always using it as conclusive authority. He maintains also, and insists on the full authority of the law, but shows that its action against us was averted by the death of Christ. We are not bound, he argues, by a law of a relationship which subsists no longer, as it cannot when a man is dead. But he takes particular care to show that he does not undermine the authority of the law. Christ's bearing its curse (Gal. 3) is the strongest possible proof of that.
