Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the First Two Centuries of Christianity: Proving the Incorruptibility of the Catholic Church, by Historical Considerations; Read Before H. E. Cardinal Wiseman and the Catholic Academia of London The germ was revealed, the development would follow. But, besides this, it cannot be supposed that certain rules of discipline were not laid down, and a definite course of action not pointed out. A Church was to be established throughout the whole world; doctrines were to be taught which must be applicable to the entire human race. It must needs be, that a plan would have to be pursued which would insure unity of faith, and exclude, as far as possible, motives for dissension among all members of that Church: and since we know that our Lord promised that the Holy Ghost should bring all things to the remembrance of His disciples whatsoever He had said to them, it is evident that the body of rules for both faith and practice, which had been delivered, was of so complicated a nature as to require supernatural aid to retain in the memory, how far more, then, to explain to others, and to carry into execution. Such being the case, if the very men who had been taught by Christ's own lips, and for so long, required the Divine Assistance in a supereminent degree, for carrying out the work committed to them: it follows that the inter communication between themselves and their newly converted fellow men must have been incessant.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fr. Hugo Rahner, a renowned church historian, presents for the first time in English a very clear and readable study of the relationship of the Church and State during the first eight centuries. From being persecuted, to tolerated, to being mandated as the Empire's official religion, the Church encountered, during those early centuries, in principle all the forms of the Church-State relationship she could face in the future. With unsurpassed knowledge of the historical sources, Rahner brings to light what the Church herself through the bishops, the Pope, and the great theologians came to understand as the proper relationship between the spiritual society of the Church and the temporal society of the State.
Download or read book From Torah to Paul written by Karl L. Oakes and published by Resource Publications (CA). This book was released on 2016-12 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Where did the Catholic Church come from? Ask any Roman Catholic this question and, without a moment's hesitation, they will tell you they are the heirs of St. Peter. He was the first pope, leading and guiding the young Christian movement from Rome. This claim can be traced back to the first century Epistle of Clement to James. The second-century embellishment, known as the Teaching of Simon Cephus, asserts that Peter served in Rome for twenty-five years. However, there is not a single, solitary scrap of Scripture that places Peter at Rome. Not one. In the Acts of the Apostles, we read of Peter at Joppa, at Caesarea, he made a trip up to Syrian Antioch, and he played a major role in the Jerusalem Council in AD 49. When Paul wrote to the saints at Rome in AD 57, he greeted about twenty of the faithful by name--but not Peter, the supposed bishop. Paul was imprisoned in Rome from AD 60 to AD 62, and wrote at least five epistles during that period. Again, Peter is strangely missing. From Torah to Paul advances a provocative new theory of church history. Far from being the heirs of St. Peter, the Catholic Church is shown to be the offspring of the false apostles, the oldest heresy of Christendom. The evidence produced in this book proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the conventional wisdom on Catholic origins, believed by hundreds of millions, was in fact the grand deception of the ages. ""Karl Oakes traces a challenging documented reconstruction of the origins and early evolution of Catholicism."" --Cornelius J. Jaenen, PhD, LLD, FRSC, Emeritus Professor, University of Ottawa ""Karl Oakes has written a very useful and rather bold treatment of 'proto Catholicism' using almost entirely primary sources and seeks to establish once and for all that the 'false apostles' created a new political trajectory from the original roots of the Jesus movement and fellowship. Mr. Oake's work deserves a careful reading, and even though one might take exception to his claim that the early Catholics deviated (or apostasized) in the minds of the heresiologists, he has made a strong case through a careful reading of the Patristic evidence that is little known to nonspecialists. Faithful Protestants and Catholics alike will find his presentation clear and well reasoned. Mr. Oakes deserves credit for delivering a well-written and fascinating new book of interest to laypeople, clergy, and historians of the early church."" --Jonathan Seidel, PhD, Instructor in Religious Studies at Lane Community College; Spiritual Leader of Or haGan Synagogue, Eugene, Oregon Karl Oakes is fascinated by every facet of the human experience: man's mysterious origin, his ancient past, and his religious impulses. The author is married to the lovely and gracious Denita, has three wonderful children, and is an elder in the church of God that meets in their home. Karl now resides in Eugene, Oregon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fathers of the Catholic Church: A Brief Examination of the "Falling Away" Of the Church in the First Three Centuries This work is designed especially for people who have not the time nor the means to become thoroughly informed in matters of church history; and also for itinerant ministers and Bible workers, who, even though they be well read, can not carry a theological library with them from which to quote in time of need. It is hoped, also, that the book may serve as an incentive to some to make a systematic study of church history, and may aid them in so doing. And it is not impossible that the grouping of subjects may suggest new ideas, even to those who have read the entire history of the early church. Indeed, the book is mainly suggestive, the most exhaustive portion being the chapter on Sun-wor ship and Sunday. History repeats itself; and only he who knows the course of error in the past can be on his guard against its insidious approaches in the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book re-examines the historical linkage between the New Testament fellowship and the Catholic Church.

The evidence of their Jewish heritage is both staggering and convincing.

Book excerpt: “Considering the high gifts, and the strong claims of the Church of Rome and its dependencies on our admiration, reverence, love, and gratitude, how could we withstand it, as we do; how could we refrain from being melted into tenderness, and rushing into communion with it, but for the words of Truth itself, which bid us prefer it to the whole world? ‘He that loveth father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Me.’ How could we learn to be severe, and execute judgment, but for the warning of Moses against even a divinely-gifted teacher who should preach new gods, and the anathema of St. Paul even against Angels and Apostles who should bring in a new doctrine?” Aeterna Press
