Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Church The scope of the work is such as necessarily to embrace many points of importance, already made familiar through the periodical press, or by the expositions of writers ever ready to consecrate their services to the Church. With the province of these, it is not the object of the present sketches to interfere. We offer the outline; others have given the finished picture. And the reader whose interest this little volume may have excited, will equally gratify himself and the writer, by renewing his investigations in the more elabo rate works of others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Church Dictionary The Church Dictionary, of which the Sixth Edition is now published, appeared originally in the shape of monthly tracts, intended by the writer to explain to his parishioners the more important doctrines of the Church, and the fundamental verities of our religion. The title of Church Dictionary was adopted from a work published with a similar object in America, by the Rev. Mr. Staunton; and the work itself assumed the character of short dissertations on those theological terms and ecclesiastical practices, which were misrepresented or misunderstood by persons who had received an education external to the Church.

This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 678 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of the Church of England The religious Controversies and Ecclesiastical politics of the day are leading to a greatly increased demand for information on Church matters. This 'dictionary 'of the Church of England aims at supplying the demand briefly, accurately, and in the handiest way. In the desire to limit the book in size and cost, so as to make it widely useful, systematic completeness has been sacrificed, and the Subjects most likely to be useful have been arbitrarily selected. The Classified Table of Subjects arranges some of the articles in such an order that the student, reading them consecutively, may find something like connected essays on various subjects, 3. G. On English Church History, Architecture History of the Prayer Book, &c. For some special articles the book is indebted to. The kindness of contributors: those signed R. T. Are by the Rev. Dr. R.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Church Dictionary: A Practical Manual of Reference for Clergymen and Students Dr. Hook's Church Dictionary is so well and widely known, that it is scarcely necessary now to give a further description of its origin and aim than by mentioning that it arose from the great want felt by its author, in the management of his parish, of some book of reference for the laity as well as for the clergy upon the leading facts of the history, the economy and constitution of the Church. That Dean Hook was exceptionally fitted for the task, by his wide experience and success as a parish priest, by his learning, and by his literary skill, has been freely admitted on all hands. Since the first issue of the Church Dictionary, in the year 1842, it has passed through no less than thirteen editions, each of which underwent more or less of improvement and addition. But of late years there has been such a great increase of activity in the Church, and such a vast extension of her energies in every direction; such advances also have been made in Biblical and Liturgical criticism, as well as in the knowledge of ecclesiastical history, antiquities, and art, that it seemed desirable to submit the whole Dictionary to a thorough revision. This indeed was the view taken by the late Dean, who expressed to his son an opinion that nearly the whole of it ought to be rewritten if it was to be brought up to the level of modern requirements. The truth of this has been felt by the present editors during the progress of their work. It has been found necessary, or desirable, to rewrite or completely recast many of the old articles, and to add many new ones.

Download or read book A Dictionary of English Church History Classic Reprint written by S. L. Ollard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Dictionary of English Church History Such an object would have been unattainable without the help of many scholars. From the outset the idea of the Dictionary was approved and aided by those English bishops best known as Church historians - the present Bishop of Bristol (dr. G. F. Browne), the late Bishop of Gibraltar (dr. W. E. Collins), and the late Bishop of Salisbury (dr. John Wordsworth). Illness unhappily prevented the Bishop of Bristol and the late Bishop of Gibraltar from contributing articles; while the late Bishop of Salisbury had completed only two of his promised articles when, to the heavy loss of English learning, he was removed by death. The Dictionary is intended not so much for the scientifically trained historian as for the ordinary member of the English Church who desires to know the best ascertained facts in the history of the society to which he belongs. To attain this result in one volume compression and some omissions have been necessary. Yet, notwithstanding this, it is hoped that the broad features of the story have been covered. Any lack of proportion in treatment is due to the consideration that a subject admittedly Obscure, when treated by an expert, demands more generous space than a subject already familiar, for which authorities are easily accessible. In fairness to the contributors, it should be said that many articles have been rigorously compressed owing to exigencies of space. It has not been thought necessary to insist on uniformity in the spelling of proper names as to which scholars of repute differ. References have been appended to most articles, designed not so much to justify the conclusions arrived at, as to direct the reader to fuller and more detailed treatment of the matter discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of the Apostolic Church, Vol. 1 It has often been said that the Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels is of more practical value than a Dictionary of the Bible. From all parts of the world has come the request that what the Dictionary has done for the Gospels another should do for the rest of the New Testament. THE DICTIONARY OF THE APOSTOLIC CHURCH is the answer. It carries the history of the Church as far as the end of the first century. Together with the Dictionary of Christ and the Gospels, it forms a complete and independent Dictionary of the New Testament. The Editor desires to take the opportunity of thanking the distinguished New Testament scholars who have co-operated with him in this important work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Churchman's Theological Dictionary Useful as such labour is at all times, it is more especially required at a period when the Symbols and Institutions of churches excite more than ordinary interest, and form topics of current conversation. But the artifice, which unhappily is no uncommon one, of insinuating opinions of things under the guise of an explanation of the meaning of words, the Editor repudiates as disingenuous. He has formed, indeed, his own opinions on controverted points, but he has abstained from inculcating his private views of disputed matters, because his object is not to give instruction but to furnish information.

Download or read book An Ecclesiastical Dictionary written by William Staunton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 706 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Ecclesiastical Dictionary: Containing Definitions of Terms, and Explanations and Illustrations of Subjects Pertaining to the History, Ritual, Discipline, Worship, Ceremonies, and Usages of the Christian Church The present work is an out-growth or expansion of a much smaller one prepared by the same author, and published several years ago, under the title of 'a Dictionary of the Church, ' etc. The design of the original work was chie y to illustrate and ex. Plain, in a familiar manner, the External Order, or Polity, the Sacraments, Ritual, Ceremonies, and Usages, of the Protestant Episcopal Church, with an especial reference to the demand for information on such subjects among Churchmen in the United States. As it was thought desirable, at the time, that a book chie y intended for popular use should not be inconveniently large and expensive, it was found necessary to proceed on a plan which limited extremely the range of subjects, and excluded almost all topics of a historical, biographical, denominational, or doctrinal nature, except in those articles where the close coddgo' tion of these elements with the point under discussion furnished a justifiable reason for digression. The plan adopted in the work now presented, is not embarrassed or limited by these restrictions; though it has still been thought expedient to touch only on the margin of the boundless field of doctrinal theology. The work embraces nearly all the matter found in the former 'dictionary of the Church, ' with many corrections and improve ments, suggested by later investigation, or by hints from friendly sources. The department of the Ritual has been rendered more complete and instructive, by the insertion of several hundreds of new articles, based on competent authorities; and by the exten sion or careful revision of several of the articles already written.
