20. _Name friends of Paul who were engaged in the same trade as he._
21. _Give Paul's quotations from the Greek poets. Do you know the authors he quoted from? Explain Septuagint and Diaspora._
22. _Where does Paul refer to the sophists and rhetoricians?_
26. _Make a collection of Paul's quotations from the Old Testament, showing whence each of them was taken._
28. _What does Paul mean by the Law?_
32. _Trace out the points of contact between the language and views of Stephen's speech and those of Paul. Explain--_
"_Si Stephanus non orasset_, _Ecclesia Paulum non haberet._"
34. _Where is it said that Paul voted in the Sanhedrim?_
45. _Collect Paul's references to the persecution and bring out how severe it was._
On Paul's mental processes before and at the time of his conversion see Principal Rainy's lecture, already quoted.
The conversion of Paul is one of the strong apologetic positions of Christianity. See this worked out in Lyttelton's _Conversion of St. Paul_. But it might be worked out afresh on more modern lines.
40. Principal Rainy, in the lecture above referred to, says that he sees no evidence of such a conflict as this in Paul's mind; but what, then, is the meaning of "It is hard for thee to kick against the pricks"?
41. The general tenor of the earliest Christian apologetic, as it is to be found in the speeches of the Acts of the Apostles.
44. Nothing could be more alien to the spirit of the New Testament than to turn this round the other way, and, assuming that what Paul saw was only a vision, argue that the other appearances of Christ, because they are put on the same level, may have been only visions too. This is a mere stroke of dialectical cleverness, which shows no regard to the obvious intention of the writers.
_There are three accounts of the conversion of Paul in the Acts. What is the significance of this reduplication in so small a book? Enumerate the differences between these accounts, and explain them._
38. _Prove that the first Christians called Christianity_ THE WAY, _and explain the signification of this name._
