Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nature and Worth of the Science of Church History: An Inaugural Address, Delivered Before the Directors of the Union Theological Seminary, New York, Feb; 12, 1851 St. Paul does say that we are justified by faith, while St. James says it is by good works. Very true. But we must remember that the works, of which St. James speaks, were such as proceeded from a living faith, - were but the outward and perfected development of this internal energy; and that his object, in setting them foremost, was to dissuade his brethren from resting merely on a dead faith, which resulted in no works, and was of no avail. Was St. Paul opposed to this view? We repeat: the works on which St. James insisted were vitally connected with faith, were its perfected form, its fruits. Both apostles mean the same thing, in principle. Both of them quote the case of Abraham to illustrate their doctrine; only that St. Paul was led, by his immediate object, to adduce the Patriarch's living faith in God, as the internal energy which wrought his justification; while St. James had occasion to lay emphasis upon the works of obedience which Abraham performed by virtue of that faith. All the difference, even in language, is, that the one names the root, evidently meaning to include the fruit; and that the other names the fruit, evidently including the root. It is as if we should commend a favorite tree as excellent for sustaining life, and a friend, in repeating our recommendation, should refer it to the fruit rather than to the tree. Both of us would mean the same thing. There is, however, one phrase which may still be thought to place the two apostles in contravention with each other. St. Paul says that we are "justified by faith, without the deeds of the law;" that "a man is justified, without the works of the law;" that "by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified." And we may be asked, Is not here a direct denial of what James asserts, that "a man is justified by works?" No; not the least disagreement, even in the proper force of the words themselves. For the phrase, "the deeds of the law," or "the works of the law," is a form that St. Paul always used to designate, among other things, a certain class of performances which had no affinity with the good works of which St. James speaks.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the publication in 1896 of Andrew Dickson White's classic History of the Warfare of Science with Theology in Christendom, no comprehensive history of the subject has appeared in the English language. Although many twentieth-century historians have written on the relationship between Christianity and science, and in the process have called into question many of White's conclusions, the image of warfare lingers in the public mind. To provide an up-to-date alternative, based on the best available scholarship and written in nontechnical language, the editors of this volume have assembled an international group of distinguished historians. In eighteen essays prepared especially for this book, these authors cover the period from the early Christian church to the twentieth century, offering fresh appraisals of such encounters as the trial of Galileo, the formulation of the Newtonian worldview, the coming of Darwinism, and the ongoing controversies over "scientific creationism." They explore not only the impact of religion on science, but also the influence of science and religion. This landmark volume promises not only to silence the persistent rumors of war between Christianity and science, but also serve as the point of departure for new explorations of their relationship, Scholars and general readers alike will find it provocative and readable.

He was a Universalist minister, then settled in Charlestown, a bright consummate flower of the Universalist faith. No particular advantages of academic or theological education had he enjoyed. But his were faculties SO ready and forward, that they appeared to educate themselves. They required painstaking nurture as little as they did careful pruning or sharp restraint. At the touch of the common light and air, they came out in all their fulness. They blossomed into know ledge. They grew into piety. They spread abroad into love. They gave no credit to the theory, that dulness or depravity is the necessary heritage of the human race.

Book excerpt: This book explores the implications of recent insights in modern neuroscience that attribute mental capacities often ascribed to a disembodied soul instead to the functions of the brain and body in collaboration with social experience. It explores how this insight changes the traditional "care of souls," encouraging more attention to fostering spiritual growth through a social and communal focus.

In 1851, when the inaugural was delivered, the text books in our seminaries were translations from the German, especially the translation of Mos- heim's Commentaries. Since then a number of important contributions have been made to historical literature by American church historians. Several thorough compen- diums and elaborate treatments of the history of the church have appeared and taken an honorable position at the side of the treatises of European historians. Volumes on special epochs have been sent forth from our presses.! An elaborate and valuable edition of the Fathers has been issued, I And, with an acknowledgment due to the growing importance of American Christianity, a noble series of thirteen volumes on American church history has been prepared under the supervision of the recent American Society of Church History and its founder. The many-leaved volume of church history is a scroll in which the ways of Providence are exhibited. In its pages are recorded the mistakes and shortcomings of the men who have professed faith in Jesus Christ, but also their consecrated deeds. Therein are brought out the long and hard-fought struggles by which the truth revealed by Christ has come to recognition. There those movements in Christian worship, life and doctrinal belief and in civil enactment are traced, wherein we see the power of Christ manifesting itself as the leaven works in the lump.

Book excerpt: The anthology 'History of the Christian Church & Ecclesiastical History' presents an unparalleled compendium of historical writings, offering readers a panoramic view of the development and impact of the Christian Church through various epochs. Comprising works that span from the apostolic age to the Reformation, the collection embodies a rich diversity of literary styles and perspectives, encapsulating significant theological, cultural, and historical developments within the Christian tradition. The inclusion of seminal pieces provides not only a testament to the profound religious fervor and doctrinal debates of the times but also illuminates the socio-political landscapes in which these ideas were fostered and contested. The contributing authors, Philip Schaff and Eusebius, stand as towering figures in the field of ecclesiastical history, bringing to the collection a depth of scholarly insight and a comprehensive approach to the historiography of Christianity. Schaff, with his magisterial grasp of church history, and Eusebius, known as the father of church history for his meticulous documentation of early Christianity, represent a synthesis of early and modern historiographical methodologies. Their collective works align with key historical and cultural movements, providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the evolution of Christian thought and its enduring influence on global history. This anthology is recommended for scholars, students, and anyone interested in the rich tapestry of Christian history. It offers an unprecedented opportunity to engage with the multiplicity of narratives and analyses that these eminent historians bring to bear on the understanding of Christianitys past, encouraging a deeper appreciation of the churchs legacy and its myriad impacts across centuries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Victorian period science shifted from being practiced in a theistic context (integrating religious considerations and ideas) to a naturalistic context (explicitly forbidding religious matters). This book examines the foundations of that change. While it is generally thought that the transformation was due to the methodological superiority of naturalistic science, Matthew Stanley shows that most of the methodological values underlying scientific practice were virtually identical between the theists and the naturalists. Each agreed on the importance of the uniformity of natural laws, the use of hypothesis and theory, the moral value of science, and intellectual freedom. This was despite the claims by both groups that those fundamentals were intrinsic to their worldview, and completely incompatible with that of their opponents. Stanley goes on to argue that the victory of the scientific naturalists came from deliberate strategies executed over a generation to gain control of the institutions of scientific education and to re-imagine the history of their discipline. Rather than a sudden revolution, the similarity between theistic and naturalistic science allowed for a relatively smooth transition in practice from the old guard to the new. "Huxley's Church and Maxwell's Demon" explores this shift through a parallel study of two major scientific figures: James Clerk Maxwell, a devout Christian physicist, and Thomas Henry Huxley, the iconoclast biologist who coined the word agnostic. Both were deeply engaged in the methodological, institutional, and political issues that were crucial to the theistic-naturalistic transformation. The author s astute examination of the ascendance of scientific naturalism sheds new light on the controversies over science and religion in modern America. "
