Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Roman Empire It is not possible to discuss so intricate a subject without assuming some knowledge on the part of the reader. But it is believed that a very elemen tary acquaintance with the familiar facts of general history will make this little work intelligible. For the sake of those who may desire some introduction to the early Christian writers, but may only have access to translations such as are contained in the ante-nicene Christian Library, the chief works are cited by their English titles. In the Appendices an attempt has been made to supply such information concerning the principal persons whose names appear in these pages, as will enable the reader to refer them without difficulty to their proper date, locality, and school of thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christianity: From Its Promulgation, to Its Legal Establishment in the Roman Empire IN the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; this great truth, familiar to us from childhood, is solemnly proclaimed as the first lesson taught to us by Revelation, and is at the same time the final con elusion to which we are led by our investigations of Natural Religion. Those who have been born and educated in a Christian land, whose fathers have declared to them the wondrous works which God wrought in their days, and in the old time before them, cannot easily comprehend the necessity for the express revelation of a fact which, from constant repe tition, has become as positive to them as the conscious ness of their own existence; they have heard that, in other times, and in distant lands, the knowledge of a Creator has become indistinct and obscure, but they can scarcely comprehend how it should have been so nearly effaced, that Infinite ivisdom, which does nothing in vain, had to announce this forgotten fact through the means of miracles and inspiration.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire TO see the Founder Of the Christian movement and some of his followers as they appeared among their contemporaries; to represent Christian and pagan with equal goodwill and equal honesty, and in one perspective; to recapture some thing Of the colour and movement Of life, using imagination to interpret the data, and controlling it by them; to follow the conflict of ideals, not in the abstract, but as they show themselves in character and personality; and in this way to discover where lay the living force that changed the thoughts and lives Of men, and what it was; these have been the aims Of the writer, - impossible, but worth attempting.

Download or read book The History of Christianity Vol 1 of 3 written by Henry Hart Milman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire This new edition of the History of Christianity has been revised throughout. A few passages have been added, chiefly in the notes; a few slightly enlarged. In general, I have not found much, after a period of above twenty years, which I should wish to retract or to modify. Some objection was raised, on the first publication of the work, against the commencement of the History of Christianity with the Life of Christ. I thought then, and still think, that life to be an integral and inseparable part of the History. It appeared to me necessary to the completeness of the History to trace it to its primal origin; to show that the Gospels, our only documentary authorities, offer a clear and distinct relation of that life, with no greater variation than might reasonably be expected from four separate and independent narratives, drawn up by different writers, at different times and places, and by one at least from a different point of view; that this relation accords in every respect with all that we know of the events, circumstances, manners, usages, opinions, of the age and country; that its religious signification, and, in part, supernatural character, in no way conflict, but are, rather, in full and perfect harmony, with its simple truth and reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Time of Paul: How Christianity Entered Into and Modified Life in the Roman Empire Of the more significant facts pertaining to the Gentile world into which the Apostle Paul carried the Gospel of Christ. It is not possible to make an exact division of the com posite life of his times and to trace out in all their detail the political, social, moral, relig ious, and intellectual phases of the old civili zation which it was the task of Christianity to recast. The various departments of influence overlap and intermingle; yet in order to set forth the complex conditions with which the new religion had to deal, and out of which it achieved unparalleled results, it seems best to present a series of pictures, outlining in swift succession the special aspects of the world into which Christianity was forcing its tri umphant way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Early Church History: Being a Survey of the Relations of Christianity and Paganism in the Early Roman Empire The following sketch is intended as an introduction to the study of Christianity in its earlier stages of progress up to the accession of Constantine. It makes no preten sion to survey in detail either the history of the Empire or the history of the Church within that period, but rather endeavours by means of a series of impressions to meet the needs of students and others who desire to possess a compact statement of the main features of a development which culminated in the acceptance of Christianity as an imperial religion and, incidentally, transformed its primitive organisation into the ordered and stable system of Catholicism. The writer hopes that such an outline will elucidate the chief factors of a fasci nating historical process, suggesting lines upon which a fuller and closer study may proceed, and indicating the authorities, patristic and Otherwise, for a wider enquiry. It is obvious that some important features can only be incidentally mentioned, as, for example, the tendencies of Christian thought and the growth of dogma with details of heresy and ecclesiastical controversy. Atten tion has rather been concentrated on what perhaps is more generally desired, a survey of the movement in its contact with the empire, its influence, its self-defence and the public verdict.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, From the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire For clergymen, also, and for all who cultivate sound theological learn. Ing, this work will be valuable. Though not embracing the whole ground of Church History, and, therefore, not meeting all their necessities, it takes up many subjects of no small importance, and treats them in a very able and interesting manner. On most of the topics which come within the range of his plan, Mr. Milman makes good use of what he justly de. Nominates the unwearied industry, the universal command of the litera. Ture of all ages and all countries, and the boldness, sagacity, and impar tiality in historical criticism of the modern German writers and he in. Genuously acknowledges himself under too much obligation to them not Openly to express his gratitude. Yet he is far from adopting all their conclusions. He is aware of the wild aberrations to which they are ia eident, and he is sedulous, and, for the most part, successful in selecting from them only what appears sound and valuable. Among the subjects of interest to theologians which Mr. Milman has discussed, are, the character of the different Pagan Religions, and their ia uences on society; the Grecian Philosophy, and its effects the Oriental Philosophy, and its legitimate offspring, the Gnostic and Manichzean sects; the in uences of this philosophy on the prevailing opinions and modes of thinking among the Jews, at the time of Christ's advent, and, consequently, Upon the language of the New Testament, and on the conceptions and the belief of Christians in the early ages, and even down to modern times the origination of asceticism, penance, celibacy, and bodily mortifications from this philosophy; the progress of Christianity in the four first centu.

Besides these subjects, which properly fall within the s00pe or design of the work, Mr. Milman, as already stated, has gone over the entire history of the Saviour and his apostles. He likewise gives a pretty full and interest.

He also gives us biographies of several of the most eminent fathers, Chrysostom, Basil, the two Gregories, Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, &c.; and he even recites some of the more interesting martyrdoms.
