Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of the Free Churches In sending this book forth, I am glad to think that it may be of some service in the great struggles that await Free Churchmen. The story I have had to tell is full of inspiration and encouragement. It is the story of an unconquerable spirit dedicated to the service of an indestructible ideal. While the men and women of the Free Churches are bracing themselves to renew the fight for unsectarian education and religious equality it may be well that they refresh their memories of those illustrious forbears who helped to make England great. Readers of these pages will see that while Puritanism has assumed various forms, it has always stood for a spiritual interpretation of Christianity and the Christian Church. This spiritual interpretation, as Milton said, "it hath befallen us to assert, with God's assistance, ... against regal tyranny over the State, and State tyranny over the Church."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Free Churches This little book is but a Short History of the Free Churches, and makes no pretensions to completeness. It has been prepared principally for the use of young people connected with N onconformity, who have few opportunities of perusing larger works on the sub ject, in the hope that it may confirm them in their attachment to Free Church Principles, and lead them to value more highly the Religious Privileges which their spiritual forefathers have won for them at so great a cost. Moreover, as a considerable amount of care has been taken in setting forth briefly the out lines of the story, preparing the Chronological Table, verifying dates, and making a fairly full index, the author, who has had the valuable assistance of the Rev. T. Gr. Crippen, Librarian of the Congrega tional Library, trusts that what he has written may prove useful to ministers and others, as a first book of reference to the main facts of Free Church History.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Church History to A. D. 313, Vol. 1 of 2 IN the present work the writer's aim is to trace the growth of Christianity in its connexion with the general history of the time, indicating the lines of thought, and noting the forces that made for change, but without any attempt to give an ex haustive account. For this reason the subjects are taken in a roughly chronological order and since the history concerns the general reader as well as the student of Theology, the original languages are almost entirely excluded from the text, and only a few books are named after each chapter for further study. In a word, the work is a narrative, not a repertory of facts and writers on the facts like von Schubert's excellent Kirchengeschichte.

Download or read book Retrieving the Tradition and Renewing Evangelicalism written by Daniel H. Williams and published by Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing. This book was released on 1999 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A learned and uniquely constructive book that gently urges "suspicious" Christians to reclaim the patristic roots of their faith. This is the first book of its kind meant to help Protestant Christians recognize the early church fathers as an essential part of their faith. Writing primarily to the evangelical, independent, and free church communities, who remain largely suspicious of church history and the relationship between Scripture and tradition, D. H. Williams clearly explains why every branch of today's church owes its heritage to the doctrinal foundation laid by postapostolic Christianity. Based on solid historical scholarship, this volume shows that embracing the "catholic" roots of the faith will not lead to the loss of Protestant distinctiveness but is essential for preserving the Christian vision in our rapidly changing world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith and Life of the Early Church: An Introduction to Church History The following work does not profess to be a complete and detailed history of Christianity in the first century. Its design is, rather, to investigate those features of the history which arc of importance and interest at the present time. Since related subjects had to be discussed in separate chapters, some repetition was unavoidable: some questions which can scarcely be called secondary have had to yield to the demand for brevity. It is hoped, however, that no really essential element belonging to the subject has been entirely overlooked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Church History, Vol. 1 of 2 May be considered a probable fact, the episcopate of Peter a questionable explanation of his presence at Rome, and its twenty-five years' range a fable confuted by the Scripture history itself. The statement that the Apostles suffered in the fourteenth year of Nero need not clash with Tacitus' record of the attack on mm the Christians in his tenth year. A per scontion, at first prompted by Nero's desire to attach the stigma of the great fire to the already odious sect of Christians, may have begun in an. 64 and continued with intermissions till the emperors death in a.d. 68. The accounts represent Nero's victims as suffering fearful cruelties. They were crucified, cast to wild beasts in the arena, and even smeared with pitch and burnt as living torches to light the public gardens. It is uncertain whether the persecution extended beyond Rome. N 0 other is recorded till that of Domitian.

This book was released on 2018-03-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Church From the Earliest Ages to the Reformation, Vol. 1 of 3 I have been sorry to observe that the account which I have published, and to which I still adhere, of the original constitution of the Church, has given offence to some respectable sectarians; and those gentlemen will learn, perhaps with surprise, that the same account has equally disappointed the views of some learned and zealous divines within the Church. Thus doubly unfortunate, I can only seek consolation, under the dissatisfaction of the one party, in the oppo site murmurs of the other: secure in the reflection, that, in our common liability to error, the more mode rate generally proves the wiser judgment; and that extreme opinions seldom long survive the controversies which have given them birth. Such errors as I have discovered in the revisal of the work have been anxiously removed. To the friendly suggestions that have been made to me by others, I have applied, with advantage and gratitude, my most careful consideration. Yet is it a harder task than some imagine to thread the entangled paths of ecclesiastical contention. It is not enough to possess an earnest desire to arrive at just conclusions.
