Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Christian or a 'given' name is the first name of an individual, usually issued during their Christian baptism. Originating as a Hebrew practice, the issuing of names on dates of religious significance is intended to symbolize induction into religious society or acceptance of religious dogma. Historically, Christian names were only those of religious origin, however after the Dark Ages, names were reflective of culture, literature, art, and various other outlets in addition to religion. Charlotte Mary Yonge's History of Christian Names Vol. 2 is exactly as it sounds, a comprehensive examination of different given names including origin, lore, and meanings. In particular, Yonge explores names by culture and historical significance, making a point to include "Keltic," "Gadhelic," "Cymric," "Teutonic," "Mythological," "Karling," "Slavonic," and "Modern" names. In the "Cymric" chapter, Yonge investigates the roots of the legendary name 'Arthur', "Most people imagine it to be a bear, and connect it with Arctus...Arth does indeed mean a bear in British; but this seems to have been the Latin word assimilated" instead, she argues for a Celtic root of the name, Ard, that denotes 'royalty', making King Arthur mean King King. This book is a treasure trove of knowledge on ancient civilizations, untold legends, syntax and language, and cultural heritage. Yonge's grasp of the nuances of linguistics and phonetics lead her to new unexplored territory. This book is perfect for someone who is looking for unusual and meaningful names, who is interested in the history of names, who enjoys learning about language and culture, or who wants to explore linguistics and the roots of language more thoroughly.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Origins of Christianity, Vol. 2: Book II, the Apostles The first book of our history of the Origins of Christianity has traced the story as far as the death and burial of Jesus. We must now resume the narrative at the point where we left it - to wit, Saturday, 4th April, 33. This will be for some time yet a continuation, in some sort, of the Life of Jesus. Next, after the months of joyous rapture, during which the great Founder laid the foundation of a new order for humanity, these last years were the most decisive in the history of the world. It is still Jesus, some sparks of whose sacred fire have been deposited in the hearts of a few friends who created institutions of the greatest originality, moves, transforms souls, imprints upon everything his divine seal. We have to show how, under this ever active and victorious influence over death, the faith of the resurrection, the influence of the Holy Spirit, the gift of tongues, and the power of the Church, established themselves. We shall describe the organization of the Church at Jerusalem, its first trials, its first conquests, the earliest missions which it despatched. We shall follow Christianity in its rapid progress in Syria, as far as Antioch, where was formed a second capital, more important in a sense than that of Jerusalem, which it was destined to supplant. In this new centre, where the converted Pagansconstituted the majority, we shall see Christianity separating itself definitely from Judaism, and receiving a name of its own; we shall see especially the birth of the grand idea of distant missions, destined to carry the name of Jesus into the world of the Gentiles. We shall pause at the important moment when Paul, Barnabas, and John Mark set out for the execution of this great design. There we shall interrupt our narrative, and cast a glance at the world which those daring missionaries undertook to convert. We shall endeavour to give an account of the intellectual, political, religious, and social condition of the Roman Empire about the year 45, the probable date of the departure of Saint Paul upon his first mission.

Download or read book History of Religions Vol 2 written by George Foot Moore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-06-27 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Religions, Vol. 2: Judaism, Christianity, Mohammedanism Each of them, conceiving itself as the one true religion, attributes to itself finality, and believes itself destined to universality. In them all the ideal of universality assumed political forms. In Judaism, indeed, the dream of ruling over the nations of the earth in the name of the Lord never had a chance to translate itself into historical reality or even into essay. But in Christianity and Islam the idea of empire as the embodiment of religion dominated centuries of history, and ruthless wars of conquest glorified themselves as the victories of the faith. A further consequence of the ideal of exclusive universality in Christendom was the prin ciple that a Christian state should not tolerate within it any other religion than Christianity, nor any other kind of Christianity than the one true kind. Religious liberty logi cally involves the secularisation of the state. In modern times the expansion of both Christianity and Islam has been by commerce, missions, and colonisation rather than by conquest, but commerce and missions have often been but steps to protection, occupation, and annexa tion by Christian states. The belief in ultimate universality must persist as long as each believes itself the one true reli gion, and so long as it persists the religions must strive in the ways of the time to achieve their universal destiny.
