Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE Kingdom of Christ, or the Church of Christ, may be said to date its beginning from the time when the Head of that Church and Kingdom rose in triumph from the grave. The Son of God, as He Himself informs us, had shared His Father's glory before the world was; and the scheme of redemption had been laid in the counsels of God, from the time of the promise being given, that the seed of the woman should bruise the serpent's head: but this gracious and merciful scheme had not been fully developed to mankind, till Jesus Christ appeared upon earth, and died upon the cross...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent research has made a strong case for the view that Early Christian communities, sociologically considered, functioned as voluntary religious associations. This is similar to the practice of many other cultic associations in the Greco-Roman world of the first century CE. Building upon this new approach, along with a critical interpretation of all available sources, this book discusses the social and religio-historical background of the weekly gatherings of Christians and presents a fresh reconstruction of how the weekly gatherings originated and developed in both form and content. The topics studied here include the origins of the observance of Sunday as the weekly Christian feast-day, the shape and meaning of the weekly gatherings of the Christian communities, and the rise of customs such as preaching, praying, singing, and the reading of texts in these meetings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Tracing the astonishing transformation that the early Christian church underwent - from sporadic niches of Christian communities surviving in the wake of a horrific crucifixion to sanctioned alliance with the state - Charles Freeman shows how freedom of thought was curtailed by the development of the concept of faith. The imposition of 'correct belief' and an institutional framework that enforced orthodoxy were both consolidating and stifling. Uncovering the church's relationships with Judaism, Gnosticism, Greek philosophy and Greco-Roman society, Freeman offers dramatic new accounts of Paul, the resurrection, and the church fathers and emperors."--BOOK JACKET.

This book was released on 2017-11-22 with total page 668 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Christian Church During the First Ten Centuries: From Its Foundation to the Full Establishment of the Holy Roman Empire and the Papal Power The student of civil history feels at every step the need of a more special knowledge of ecclesiastical affairs; and the common interest of all Christians in the rise and various developments of the Church, in all its branches and its aberrations too, is enhanced by a natural curiosity to trace the origin of Opinions, usages, and controversies, the effects of which are deeply and even passionately felt in every succeeding age. In the effort to gratify that interest and curiosity, the author has studied to preserve impartiality; but he has not attempted to write the history of the Christian Church in a tone Of unconcern for either Christianity or the Church. The historian who w'ould do justice to the men whose actions he records, whether in civil or ecclesiastical polity, must place himself in sympathy with each age that comes under review; and the historian of the Church must have such sympathy - though not in the spirit of a partisan - With the thoughts and feelings, both of the great teachers and leaders and of the whole body of Christians, and even of the several parties, in every age of the Church. On these principles, supreme importance belongs to the first beginnings (the origines) of the Church, and to the progress of its universal development through the time when it especially deserved the name; when it was the church, and not yet a number of churches, divided by their respective nationalities, and severed by hostile feelings and irreconcilable Opinions. This comparative unity, even amidst the growing strife of sects, was preserved during the first three centuries by the unexpended spirit of primitive zeal and purity, and was enforced by the constraining power of persecution. These three centuries, therefore, form our first age, that of the Primitive and Persecuted Church: during which we trace the rise and progress of the Church, till the little leaven leavens the Roman Empire and works beyond its bounds; the settlement of its constitution; the development of its doctrines and usages and the beginnings of most of the controversies which have agitated it ever since.
