Download or read book Historic Landmarks in the Christian Centuries Classic Reprint written by Richard Heath and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Landmarks in the Christian Centuries A legend of the Middle Ages, supposed to date from the fourth century, relates how, on the way to Calvary, Christ wished to rest His cross against the wall of a certain house, but was repelled by the owner, who, reviling Him, told Him to pass on. "I go, as it is written," was the reply, "and shall quickly find My rest; but thou shalt never find it until I come again." This legend, profoundly significant, if for the Jew we read humanity, was regarded as literal fact not only by mediaeval Catholics, but even by Protestants as late as the seventeenth century. The chronicler, Matthew of Paris, relates, in his Major Historia, how a certain Armenian archbishop, in the year 1229, visited the monastery of St. Albans, and assured his hosts that he had not only seen the Wandering Jew, but had actually entertained him at his own table, adding that he was a pious man, and of edifying conversation. Nearly four hundred years later we find the same story among German Protestants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Church in the Light of the Monuments: A Study in Christian Archology This series of Handbooks is designed to meet a need, which, the Editors believe, has been widely felt, and which results in great measure from the predominant importance attached to Dogmatic and Moral Theology in the studies preliminary to the Priesthood. That the first place must of necessity be given to these subjects will not be disputed. But there remains a large outlying field of professional knowledge which is always in danger of being crowded out in the years before ordination, and the practical utility of which may not be fully realised until some experience of the ministry has been gained. It will be the aim of the present series to offer the sort of help which is dictated by such experience, and its developments will be largely guided by the suggestions, past and future, of the Clergy themselves. To provide Textbooks for Dogmatic Treatises is not contemplated - at any rate not at the outset. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Testimony of the Catacombs and of Other Monuments of Christian Art: From the Second to the Eighteenth Century, Concerning Questions of Doctrine Now Disputed in the ChurchLaying before the English public a summary of the results of De Rossi's investigations. Their book would have been more valuable if they had adhered more religiously than they have done to his guidance. For in spite of the deep importance to doctrinal questions, now controverted, of the monuments with which De Rossi has to deal, yet has he, as far as we have observed, the rare merit of stating his facts exactly and impartially, precisely as he finds them, and drawing theological conclusions (when he does so at all, which is not often) upon a statement of all the facts, not of a few such out of many, and these selected and arranged, so as to suit a predetermined conclusion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Cross of Christ written by Otto Zoeckler and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cross of Christ: Studies in the History of Religion and the Inner Life of the Church The cross as "the emblem of Christianity universally," as the symbolic "representation of the one great truth, out of which a multitude of truths may be developed," is only apparently on a level with a number of other religious emblems, the study of which can call forth no interest beyond that of an art-historical or liturgical examination. It may be that a false externalising, specially in the Church of the Middle Ages, has attached itself to the reverence manifested towards the cross. An exact and critical detailing of these superstitious extravagances and mystical playings of the imagination may more than once run the risk of producing a wearying or even repelling effect. Nevertheless there is inherent in this particular sign a stronger power of attraction than in any of the other symbols of Christianity. The externalising and corrupting influence upon the essence and life of our religion proceeding from it, from the time of Constantine and Helena, was followed in the period of the Reformation by a purifying and spiritualising process, which, equally with that process of degeneration, took its point of departure in the original expression of believing and enthusiastic attachment to the symbol of redemption. The Catholic devotion to the Cross, and the Evangelical preaching of the Cross, have their roots in the same soil.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Acts and Monuments of the Church: Containing the History and Sufferings of the Martyrs; Wherein Is Set Forth at Large the Whole Race and Course of the Church, From the Primitive Age to These Later Times But, by the Providence of God, the rebellion in. Ireland was crushed, the treason in Eng land baffled, and the armada of Spain destroyed. 'we could mourn over the fate of that gal lant armament, were we not acquainted with its object. The pomp of the chivalry of Spain, the flower of all her gallant youth were there. All that high hope could expect from noble daring, and all that the enthusiasm of superstition could achieve, might have been expected there. The voice of Papal infallibility had proclaimed it invincible. It walked the mighty ocean in its pride. It spread its fluttering wings for the shores of England. But an Angel of Heaven was moving over it unseen. The winds rushed in their fury above it. The waves swept in their madness beneath it. There were fearless hearts before them, and mighty arms to meet them. The chivalry of England manned her fleets, and the yeomanry of Eng land lined her shores; and this invincible armada, scattered on the deep, or stranded on our cliffs, strewed our shores with the mouldering bones of the youth of Spain. Thus ended the second great effort to restore the influence of Rome in this country. Its characteristics were rebellion and invasion - suitable precursors of the next attempt of these Italian Priests. The vigour of Elizabeth's government was felt even after her death. James I. Received a. Kingdom, from which the more daring and dangerous spirits had been exiled for their trea sons, or had gone into banishment to escape the vengeance of the laws. Those were mem bers of the Church of Rome, and devotedly attached to the interests of the Papacy. They had religiously believed that the Papal authority could absolve subjects of their allegiance, and depose sovereigns from their thrones. They had held that heresy - the designation given to the reformed faith - was sufficient to lead to a forfeiture of all rights and privileges, and they therefore entered eagerly into every conspiracy that was deemed likely to re-establish the Papacy in its ancient influence in England.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Landmarks in the History of the Welsh Church These pages represent an effort, extending over some years, to ascertain the true facts about some of the leading events in the history of the Church in Wales, and a sincere desire to look at those facts with an eye unjaundiced by present controversies. The most element ary facts in the history of the Church in Wales have in recent years been strangely misrepresented essential facts have been sup pressed, and the perverse inaccuracy with which her past history has been treated has been abundantly applied to her present work and condition. In the compilation of the diocesan records, given in detail in the Ap pendices, time and labour have been Spent in order that those records may be set forth fully and accurately. These facts, many of which are published for the first time, are recorded not for controversial purposes, but in the hope that they have a positive historical interest and value; and in the endeavour to give a history of some of the main events in the history of the Church in Wales, it has been my constant desire to state the facts truthfully.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome, Christian and Papal: Sketches of Its Religious Monuments and Ecclesiastical Hierarchy, With Notices of the Jesuits and the Inquisition IT is at Rome, and not elsewhere, that Popery should be studied. Books give but a false and incomplete idea of it: in them we meet with only the Popery of the Middle Ages, or the poetical Popery of Chateau briand. As developed in Protestant countries, we find the system of Bossuet - a Popery less superstitious, and perhaps less intolerant, until, at last, it becomes the ruling power.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Psalter of the Great Bible of 1539: A Landmark in English Literature The Greek is pre-eminent as having been the first in date; and with this fact is connected its high dis tinction as an external independent witness of the state of the Hebrew text before Christianity. Down to the sixteenth century, this translation had almost the honours of an original. The Latin is pre-eminent as being the first version that was made in the atmosphere and light of the Christian faith. It was translated from the Greek alone, and it has no immediate contact with the Hebrew. Distant though it is from the original by a second remove, mechanical as it seems when verbally scanned, it has nevertheless within it a spring of emotion which is original in itself, radiating the warmth of primitive Christianity.

We find it then already represented by imposing buildings, with a distinct plan and an elaborate system of decoration, presupposing a period of tentative efforts.
