148:1.1 [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James]], and [[Andrew, the Apostle|Andrew]] were the committee designated by [[Jesus]] to pass upon applicants for [[admission]] to the [[school]] of [[evangelists]]. All the [[races]] and [[nationalities]] of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_empire Roman world] and [[the East]], as far as [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India India], were [[represented]] among the [[students]] in this new [[school]] of the [[prophets]]. This [[school]] was conducted on the [[plan]] of [[learning]] and [[doing]]. What the [[students]] learned during the forenoon they taught to the assembly by the seaside during the afternoon. After supper they informally [[discussed]] both the learning of the forenoon and the [[teaching]] of the afternoon.

148:1.2 Each of the apostolic [[teachers]] taught his own view of the [[gospel]] of [[the kingdom]]. They made no [[effort]] to teach just alike; there was no [[standardized]] or [[dogmatic]] [[formulation]] of [[theologic]] [[doctrines]]. Though they all taught the same [[truth]], each [[apostle]] presented his own [[personal]] [[interpretation]] of [[the Master]]'s teaching. And [[Jesus]] upheld this presentation of the [[diversity]] of personal [[experience]] in the things of [[the kingdom]], unfailingly [[harmonizing]] and [[co-ordinating]] these many and [[divergent]] views of the [[gospel]] at his weekly question hours. Notwithstanding this great [[degree]] of [[personal]] [[liberty]] in matters of [[teaching]], [[Peter, the Apostle|Simon Peter]] tended to [[dominate]] the [[theology]] of the [[school]] of [[evangelists]]. Next to [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]], [[James, the Apostle|James Zebedee]] exerted the greatest [[personal]] [[influence]].
