Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Thought to the Reformation Man has no deeper or wider interest than theology; none deeper, for however much he may change, he never loses his love of the many questions it covers; and none wider, for under whatever law he may live he never escapes from its spacious shade; nor does he ever find that it speaks to him in vain or uses a voice that fails to reach him. Once the present writer was talking with a friend who has equal fame as a statesman and a man of letters, and he said, Every day I live, Politics, which are affairs of Man and Time, interest me less, while Theology, which is an affair of God and Eternity, interests me more. As with him, so with many, though the many feel that their interest is in theology and not in dogma. Dogma, they know, is but a series of resolutions framed by a council or parliament, which they do not respect any the more because the parliament was composed of ecclesiastically-minded persons; while the theology which so interests them is a discourse touching God, though the Being so named is the God man con ceived as not only related to himself and his world but also as rising ever higher with the notions of the self and the world. Wise books, not in dogma but in theology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of the Reformation: Practical and Historical I have ventured to collect these studies in the history and the practical principles of the Reformation, in the hope that they may do something to promote a better appreciation among us of the depth and grandeur of that great movement.

Download or read book A History of the Christian Church During the Reformation Classic Reprint written by Charles Hardwick and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 500 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Christian Church During the Reformation The following Chapters are intended as the sequel and companion to 'A History of the Christian Church during the Middle Age.' The author had indulged the hope of giving this new portion to the public at a less distant interval, but found his progress constantly retarded by other duties and engagements. In traversing ground which furnishes so many topics, always full of deep and sometimes melancholy interest to the student of Church-history, he was actuated by the principles which guided him throughout the composition of the previous volume. His earnest wish has been to give the reader a trustworthy version of those stirring incidents which mark the Reformation-period; without relinquishing his former claim to characterise particular systems, persons, and events, according to the shades and colours they assume, when contemplated from an English point of view, and by a member of the Church of England.

Download or read book The Reformation Classic Reprint written by Williston Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformation The Reformation itself was, moreover, not the beginning but the culminating stage of a great movement, of which the new political life of Europe, the unlocking of strange continents, and the re vival of learning were all equally parts. Religious reform was not the blossoming but the fruitage of a general unfettering of the human mind. But as the mediatval social system attained its highest per fection in the medieval Church, so the break with mediaevalism reached its intensest point of contest in the rejection of the limitations which medieval ecclesiastical authority had imposed and hence the Reformation is the crowning episode in that strug gle for freedom of thought which preceded the struggle for freedom in political action, and which, however imperfectly fought out, was the great con tribution of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to human progress.

Download or read book The Reformation of the Church written by Iain Murray and published by . This book was released on 2021-06-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nature and life of the church is one of the most crucial issues facing Christians in the closing years of the twentieth century. Questions of ministry and liturgy, authority and freedom, appear in a wide variety of guises throughout the world-wide church. Relativism and uncertainty seem to be as common in the church as in the world. Many Christians wonder whether there is any way forward. In this context, The Reformation of the Church is an invaluable aid. An anthology of documents, drawn largely but not exclusively from the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, it presents in a readily accessible form the finest thinking of the reformed fathers on authority and freedom, the need for reformation, the nature of the government, unity and membership of the church of Jesus Christ. Warmly welcomed when first published in 1965, and widely use since then, these documents provide invaluable material for ministers, elders, leaders, students and all Christians who are concerned to see Christ's church fulfill her God-given role at a critical juncture in her history.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reformation Principles: Stated and Applied The Roman moralist, Terrence, said: I am a man, and nothing that concerns humanity is alien to my breast. The interests of the American people are hanging in the balance. The crisis in the conflict between the forces of good and evil in this land has come. And the parting sentiment of Horace Mann should ring out along the line: I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. Not long before the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomatox, Gen. Sheridan wrote his chief, Gen. Grant, If things are pushed we can soon run down the enemy. Gen. Grant re plied, with characteristic brevity, Push things, then. The National Reform Association proposes to push things until this nation is in allegiance with the Lord Jesus Christ. The movement is to be made all along the line. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century The author had no idea, however, of writing a book of devotion; his intention was to write a History. He wished to represent faithfully the men and the events of the Sixteenth Century. With this object he studied the writings of the Reformers, and the chronicles of their contemporaries. He made researches in the public and in the private libraries in different countries. He deciphered many manuscripts of the Sixteenth Century, several of which were unknown till he made use of them. But he felt that, in order to accomplish his object, it was not enough simply to give a chronicle of facts. That which constituted the great wonder of the Reformation, was the setting forth of God's truth in the midst of human error - the breath of heaven, that blew upon the Church, and quickened into life so many of the Lord's servants. To shut oneself into a study and pore over manuscripts, was not enough to enable him to write this History; it was necessary to know the true springs of the work, of which the Reformers were the instruments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ten Times One Is Ten: The Possible Reformation His little book would never have been writ ten, I suppose, but for the persuasion of my kind friend, the late Dr. Wayland, the Presi dent of Brown University. It is nearly fifteen years ago that I told him the plan of this story, if it may be called a story, expressing the wish that some of the masters would undertake to illustrate the lessons involved in it. Every one who knew him and how many there are who knew him enough to love him will remember how practical and how personal was every notion of the religious life, of Christian labor, and of missionary triumph, in his mind. What he thought the practical and personal character of my little sketch pleased him; and he was kind enough to urge me once and again to enlarge it, and to print it. I think it is because he wished it, that I have tried to do so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformation: A Religious and Historical Sketch But the Reformation was primarily and above all a religious movement, and any estimate of it which disguises or misrepresents its religious significance must be imperfect or inadequate. If it has covered the whole field of human thought and action, the explanation is simple. In the Middle Ages the spiritual life and the ecclesiastical system of the Church were inextricably intertwined with every interest of Western Christendom from politics to art. It was impossible to touch a single stone of the vast and imposing structure without endangering the stability of the whole fabric. When the Reformers overthrew or undermined the power of the Medieval Church throughout a great part of Western Europe, it was inevitable that every department of human life should be directly or indirectly affected by the consequences of their victory. Art, literature, science, philosophy, education, law, political life, and social life were all cast into the potent crucible of change, and came forth largely altered or completely transformed.
