Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Persecutions: Being a Historical Exposition of the Principal Catholic Events From the Christian Era to the Present Time Written From an Unprejudiced Standpoint In presenting this volume to the public the author has but one idea to advance and but one object to attain, and that, to destroy intolerance, bigotry and ignorance. By Intoleration we mean, not a prohibition of rights and opinions, but the religious inconsistency and prejudice that exists in the political and social life of individuals. It is the Intoleration of the mind, the heart, the conscience. By Bigotry, - that obstinate and unreasoning condition in which an individual views his own belief and opinions, and opposes with narrow-minded intolerance the beliefs of others. It is a hated opposition, without reason or common sense. By Ignorance, - that pitiable condition which listens to fanaticism, believes assertions, and analyzes nothing. It is the father of intoleration, bigotry, and superstition. It is the foundation of religious persecution, of idolatry, and of heresy. It breeds confusion, oppression, and persecution. From the first establishment of Christianity to the present day it has been one constant struggle against unbelief, against opposition, and against persecution. In the past there is a wonderful history of the sufferings, the trials, and the steadfastness of those who have been faithful to God, to Christ, and to his Holy Word. To write these histories is beyond the power of man. Hundreds of volumes have been issued and yet we have recorded only a part of the great work of Christianity, and the awful afflictions it has borne. But not once in all those two thousand years has the faith in Christ been lost or broken. While It has apparently met reverses, yet not once was there a defeat.

SISTERS OF CHARITY. /I Y friends, did you ever stop to consider the mission of * " * the Sisters of Charity? Did you ever stop to investigate the marvelous organization of this institution, its almost universal presence among the poor and afflicted, the consecration of womanhood to the relief of distress, and her wonderful devotion to the true principles of human kindness? 'If you have never seriously .thought of who and what they are, I most earnestly ask you to follow me for a few moments, until we have uncovered some of these deeds of charity, some of the modest achievements of this band of silent and yet devoted followers of Christian love, of gracious deeds of relief, and of their zealous piety and devotion. Sisters of Charity. Do you know them? You do, and yet you do not. You know them from the history of what the world has been pleased to describe unto you. You have read of their devotion to the relief of human suffering and of human poverty. You read the almost constantly recurring report of some good Sister Samaritan who appears on the scene of necessity, and as a matter of fact, performs the work of the emergency, and then disappears with the same silent unobservation as was manifested in her coming. This history is so familiar to you that not even curiosity prompts you to wonder who gave this relief and what is the real motive that prompts its execution. This is about all that you know. You have seen and heard, and yet you did not realize what a sweet messenger of love had ministered to the wants of distress. She came and she went, having left the beautiful impress of her charity and her devotion. The afflicted felt the pure toudi of her fidelity to Christian virtue, but the world was ignorant of this noblest...

Download or read book Christian Persecution in Antiquity written by Professor of Church History Wolfram Kinzig and published by . This book was released on 2021-09-15 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For centuries into the Common Era, Christians faced social ostracism and suspicion from neighbors and authorities alike. At times, this antipathy erupted into violence. Following Christ was a risky allegiance: to be a Christian in the Roman Empire carried with it the implicit risk of being branded a traitor to cultural and imperial sensibilities. The prolonged experience of distrust, oppression, and outright persecution helped shape the ethos of the Christian faith and produced a wealth of literature commemorating those who gave their lives in witness to the gospel. Wolfram Kinzig, in Christian Persecution in Antiquity, examines the motivations and legal mechanisms behind the various outbursts of violence against Christians, and chronologically tracks the course of Roman oppression of this new religion to the time of Constantine. Brief consideration is also given to persecutions of Christians outside the borders of the Roman Empire. Kinzig analyzes martyrdom accounts of the early church, cautiously drawing on these ancient voices alongside contemporary non-Christian evidence to reconstruct the church's experience as a minority sect. In doing so, Kinzig challenges recent reductionist attempts to dismantle the idea that Christians were ever serious targets of intentional violence. While martyrdom accounts and their glorification of self-sacrifice seem strange to modern eyes, they should still be given credence as historical artifacts indicative of actual events, despite them being embellished by sanctified memory. Newly translated from the German original by Markus Bockmuehl and featuring an additional chapter and concise notes, Christian Persecution in Antiquity fills a gap in English scholarship on early Christianity and offers a helpful introduction to this era for nonspecialists. Kinzig makes clear the critical role played by the experience of persecution in the development of the church's identity and sense of belonging in the ancient world.

Download or read book Christian Persecution Martyrdom and Orthodoxy written by Geoffrey Ernest Maurice De Ste. Croix and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2006-09-28 with total page 407 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together seven seminal papers by the great radical historian Geoffrey de Ste. Croix, who died in 2000, on early Christian topics, with an especial focus on persecution and martyrdom. Christian martyrdom is a topic which conjures up ready images of inhumane persecutors confronted by Christian heroes who perish for the instant but win the long-term battle for reputation. In five of these essays Ste. Croix scrutinizes the evidence to reveal the significant role ofChristian themselves, first as volunteer martyrs and later, after the triumph of Christianity in the early fourth century, as organizers of much more effective persecutions. A sixth essay pursues the question of the control of Christianity through a comprehensive study of the context for one of theChurch's most important and divisive doctrinal decisions, at the Council of Chalcedon (AD 451); the key role of the emperor and his senior secular officials is revealed, contrary to the prevailing interpretation of Church historians. Finally the attitudes of the early Church towards property and slavery are reviewed, to show the divide between the Gospel message and actual practice.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are persecuted for our belief in the Bible We are imprisoned for our belief in God. We are executed for our belief that Jesus is the Son of God. Inside this book are our stories of persecution, imprisonment, and death at the hands of those who believe in other gods. I have researched stories around the world in every country on today’s map, detailing the persecution that Christians are subject to. Today, in North America, we see persecution in many different forms. Even in our country of the United States, we see different forms of persecution that were not seen before the COVID-19 pandemic. Soon, I believe we will see the same persecutions as we see today in other countries like India, China, and the Middle East. I invite you to read and see the persecution that Christians are subject to in 102 different countries.
