Book excerpt: Excerpt from Communism in Central Europe in the Time of the Reformation Nothing can be more erroneous than the widespread idea that communism is antagonistic to the existence of man - antagonistic indeed to human nature itself. This is not the case. Communism dates from the childhood of the race, and has been the social foundation of almost all nations, even to the present day. The history of communism bristles with far greater difficulties than those encountered by the historian of other phases of national growth. But, obscure as the subject is, owing to the lack of trustworthy sources of enlightenment, we believe that such knowledge as we possess will be sufficient to enable us to give some insight into its character and tendencies. As some assistance to our scanty information, we propose to glance over all the better-known evidences we can gather of the progress of communism during the period of the Reformation, and to consider its political effects, even though so little is known of the course of its inner development that all statements with regard to it must rest on conjecture alone. The great difficulties which confront us in our efforts to gain a more intimate knowledge of the growth of communism lie in the purely oral character of the teaching, and the secrecy with which heretical sects were forced to carry out their propaganda and organisation. Our information is derived, not from the literature of the communists themselves, but solely from that of their opponents.

The Anabaptists before the Peasant War. AT the period of the German Reformation one centre of the communist movement lay in Saxony. Another existed in Switzerland--that peculiar conglomeration of peasant and urban republics, which had concentrated themselves round the central mass of the Alps for united defence against their common enemies. They had completely freed themselves from the German Empire, and had succeeded in setting limits to Papal spoliation. This new and independent commonwealth, however, had not at that time become a unified state. Almost the only bond of union between its constituent parts was the knowledge that each, by itself, was powerless against its princely neighbours. But with this common interest, there existed others of an antagonistic nature between the rustic, primitive cantons, where economics were behind the age, and the rich cities which were far advanced in that respect. This antagonism was manifested clearly during the Reformation, in which movement the primitive cantons had no interest. Papal exploitation, already materially diminished in the confederation, pressed lightly, as a rule, on these poor districts. On the other hand, they had every reason for remaining on a good footing with the Catholic Powers (France, Milan, Venice, the Pope, and the Hapsburgs), as these were the chief consumers of the only valuable commodity which the peasants and petty nobility of Switzerland could at that time bring into the market, namely, their warlike sons. Reislaufen, or mercenary service, was the chief source of revenue for the country folk, especially in the mountain cantons. A union with the Reformation movement boded a breach with the Catholic Powers, and threatened this source of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reformation in Europe, Vol. 1: In the Time of Calvin The times of Luther Were followed by those of Calvin. He, like his great predecessor, undertook to search the Scriptures, and in them he found the same truth and the same life; but. A different character distinguishes his work. The renovation of the individual, of the Church, and of the human race, is his theme. If the' Holy Ghost kindles the lamp of truth in man, it is (according to Calvin) 'to the end that the entire man should be transformed.' In the kingdom of Christ, ' he says, 'it is only the new man that flourishes and has any vigour, and whom we ought to take into account.'

This book was released on 2018-02-03 with total page 782 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, Vol. 7 Whole year has elapsed since the publication of the Sixth volume of the History of the Re formation. But this delay is owing to the fact that the editor has been unable to devote to this under taking more than the scanty leisure hours of an active ministry; and not, as some have supposed, to the necessity of compiling the History from notes more or less imperfect left by the author. The following narrative, like that which has preceded it, is wholly written by M. Merle d'aubigne himself. The editor repeats the statement made on the publication Of the last volume - that his task has consisted solely in verifying the numerous quotations occurring in the text or as foot-notes, and in curtail ing, in two or three places, some general reflexions which interfered with the rapid flow Of the narrative, and which the author would certainly have eithei suppressed or condensed if it had been permitted him to put the finishing touches to his work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Reformation in Europe, Vol. 4: In the Time of Calvin; England, Geneva, France, Germany, and Italy The most important fact of that epoch in Great Britain is the act by which the English Church re sumed its independence. It was attended by a pecu liar circumstance. When Henry VIII. Emancipated his people from the papal supremacy, he proclaimed himself head of the Church. And hence, of all Pro testant countries, England is the one in which Church and State are most closely united. The legislators of the Anglican Church understood afterwards the danger presented by this union, and consequently declared, in the Thirty-seventh Article (of the Civil Magistrates), that, 'where they attributed to the King's Majesty the chief government, they gave not to their prmces the ministering of God's Word.' This did not mean that the king should' not preach such an idea did not occur to any one; but that the civil power should not take upon itself to determine the doctrines of the divine Word.
