Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Names, Vol. 1 Verstegen followed him up, but was more speculative and less correct; and since that date (as far as I am aware) no English author has given any real trustworthy information to the subject, as a subject. A few lists of names and meanings now and then have appeared in magazines and popular works, but they have generally been copies of Vers tegen, with childishly shallow and incorrect additions. One paper, which long ago appeared in Chamber? J carnal, was the only really correct information on English names en masse that I have met with.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Names I cannot put forth this attempt without a few words of apology for having undertaken it at all. The excuse is, chie y, the attraction that the subject has had for me for at least twenty years, from the time when it was first taken up as matter of amusement. The difficulty of gaining information, and the inconsistencies of such as I did acquire, convinced me that the ground was almost untrodden but the further I advanced on it, the more I perceived that it required a perfect acquaintance with language, philology, ethnology, hagiology, universal history, and provincial antiquities 3 and to me these were so many dark alleys, up which I only made brief excursions to knock my head against the wall of my own ignorance. But the interest of the subject carried me on - often far beyond my depth, when the connection between names and words has lured me into the realms of philology, or where I have ventured upon deductions of my own. And I have ventured to lay the result of my collections before the public, in the hope that they may at least show the capabilities of 'the study of comparative nomenclature, and by classifying the subject, may lead to its being more fully studied, as an illustra tion of language, national character, religion, and taste.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Praenomina: Or the Etymology of the Principal Christian Names of Great Britain and Ireland The history of Christian names has been ably treated by Miss Yonge, and some useful and interesting information on the subject may be found in Salverte's Essai Historique et Philosophique eur les Noras d'Hommes, &c., in Larousse's Dictionnaire Universel du XIXme Siecle, Camden's Britannia, Lower's Patronymica Britannica, and in the columns of Notes and Queries. The object of the present work is to give the etymology of the principal Christian names either in every-day use or lingering in the literature of Great Britain and Ireland. The names derived probably amount to fifteen hundred. Of these the major part are without doubt from the Gotho-Teutonic languages, which include the Anglo-Saxon, Dutch, Gothic; and the High and Low German, ancient and modern. The next in number are of Oriental origin, viz. from the Hebrew, Chaldee, Syriac, Arabic, and Persian. Other names are derived from the Greek, Latin, Italian, Anglo-Norman, and Slavonic; and many more from the Celtic languages - that is to say, from the Gaelic, Irish, Welsh, and Cornish.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Course of Christian History The history of Christianity is the story of the origin, prog ress and development of the Christian religion, and of its influence upon the world. Almost nineteen centuries have passed since Jesus Christ began his public ministry for the establishment of the religion which bears his name. Dur ing this long period Christianity has been more and more dominating the lives of men, illuminating their minds, strengthening them in their moral struggles, irradiating their hopes, making earth more tolerable and heaven more inviting and certain. The story of this growing and spread ing influence is the external history of Christianity. But as Christianity has expanded there has come con stant inner change. From the unity and simplicity of orig inal Christianity have developed the multiplicity of Chris tian sects with their varied forms of organization and wor ship, their divergent views of theology and the ordinances, their various types of Christian thought and life, as we see them to-day. The story of these changes is the inner his tory of Christianity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Origins of Christianity, Vol. 3 The fifteen or sixteen years of religious history comprised in this volume in'the embryonic age of Christianity, are the years with which we are best acquainted. Jesus and the primitive Church at Jerusalem re semble the images of a far-off paradise, lost in a mysterious mist. On the other hand, the arrival of St Paul at Rome, in consequence of the step the Author of the Acts has taken in closing at that juncture his narrative, marks in the history of Christian origins the commencement of a profound darkness into which the bloody glare of the barbarous feasts of Nero, and the thunders of the Apocalypse, cast only a few gleams. In particular, the death of the Apostles is enveloped in an impenetrable obscurity. On the contrary, the era of the missions of St Paul, especially of the second mission and the third, is known to us through documents of the greatest value. The Acts, till then so legendary, become suddenly quite authentic; the last chapters, com. Posed in part of the narrative of an eye-witness, are the sole complete historical writings which we have of the early times of Christianity. In fine, those years, through a privilege very rare in similar circum stances, provide us with documents, the dates of which are absolutely authentic, and a series of letters, the most important of which have withstood all the tests of criticism, and which have never been sub jected to interpolations. In the introduction to the preceding volume, we have made an ex amination of the Book of Acts. We must now discuss seriatim the different epistles which bear the name of St Paul. The Apostle informs us himself, that even during his lifetime there were in circulation in his name several spurious letters, and he often took precautions to prevent frauds. We are, therefore, only carrying out his intentions in subject ing the writings which have been put forth as his to a rigorous censorship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Roman Empire The early history of Christianity cannot be uninteresting to those who wish to be counted among the disciples of Jesus. During the first three hundred years of its existence, the tendencies which afterwards marked the great Churches of Christendom, began clearly to display themselves. And even within this short period the complex movement to which we give the name of Christianity, may be treated from several different points of view. It may be regarded as the manifestation of a great moral and religious impulse, and the stress will then fall on its power of quickening the inner forces of character, and transforming the whole standard of feeling and action.
