Book excerpt: "Origin of the 'Reorganized' Church and the Question of Succession" by Joseph Fielding Smith, Jr. is a doctrinal book. During the summer of 1906 and continuing until the summer of 1907, a number of Reorganite ministers who were engaged in missionary work in Salt Lake City and Ogden, were greatly encouraged by one or two apostates and the local anti-"Mormon" press. Their method of proselyting was of the usual nature, a tirade of abuse and false accusation hurled at the authorities of the Church. Encouraged by the anti-"Mormon" help, they became extremely vindictive in their references to President Brigham Young and the present Church authorities. Their sermons were so bitter and malignant—which has been the character of most of their work from the beginning, in Utah—that they raised considerable protest from many respectable citizens. Even non-"Mormons" declared that in no other community would such vicious attacks be tolerated.

This book was released on 2015-07-19 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apostolic Succession and the Problem of Unity IN writing an introduction to this book I do not intend to convey the impression that I have, in any way, contributed to its contents. The book is the author's work, and his alone. While I do not agree with all that is written, I think it well and strongly written, and that it ought to find place in the discussion of the subject of the unity of Christendom. Where the issues are SO great, so profoundly important, no region ought to be left unexplored, no question (no matter how old or how often investigated) should be left undiscussed in its new bearings, no amount of patient, charitable investigation ought to be regarded as onerous; but the discussion should be utterly free, completely full and without passion. No subject connected with it Should be held SO sacred that it may not reverently and respectfully be tested. In this spirit of respectful investigation the author has entered into the discussion, sometimes with questions which he seeks to answer, sometimes with declarations which he considers that the Church's teaching war rants. The real merit of both questions and dec larations can best be tested in the Open court of the Church's sifting and searching processes which inev itably tend to the illumination Of' the truth. Into this Open court the book enters, its author aux ous to con. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Apostolical Succession in the Church of England Classic Reprint written by Arthur W. Haddan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-09-24 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apostolical Succession in the Church of England Grace; and that, if the era of establishments is really passing away, it alone will permanently hold us together as a Church. Unhappily the under rating, in times now long gone by, of the very fundamentals of the Gospel itself, followed as it naturally was by a revival narrow in proportion to its zeal, has brought it to pass, that this and other Church doctrines, when presented now even to Church-people, wear too often an air of novelty which does not belong to them, and are not felt to be what they really are, the staple teaching or this Church at all times, and not least empha tically at the time of the Reformation itself. The doctrine is one also, which, in one way or another, stands in the front of all questions respecting reunion with every religious body around us, and whether with Protestant or Roman Catholic, with Eastern or Scandinavian, abroad. It is one, again, which the tendency of modern belief or misbelief leads men to scorn as childish, or to denounce as uncharitable, misunderstanding its real bearings; and yet one also capable, with some tempers, of being lifted into undue impor tance. And while that conventional and social acceptance of it, which has hitherto been its partly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: . Renewal of Life by Transmission. The most notable distinction between living and inanimate things is that the former maintain themselves by renewal. A stone when struck resists. If its resistance is greater than the force of the blow struck, it remains outwardly unchanged. Otherwise, it is shattered into smaller bits. Never does the stone attempt to react in such a way that it may maintain itself against the blow, much less so as to render the blow a contributing factor to its own continued action. While the living thing may easily be crushed by superior force, it none the less tries to turn the energies which act upon it into means of its own further existence. If it cannot do so, it does not just split into smaller pieces (at least in the higher forms of life), but loses its identity as a living thing. As long as it endures, it struggles to use surrounding energies in its own behalf. It uses light, air, moisture, and the material of soil. To say that it uses them is to say that it turns them into means of its own conservation. As long as it is growing, the energy it expends in thus turning the environment to account is more than compensated for by the return it gets: it grows. Understanding the word "control" in this sense, it may be said that a living being is one that subjugates and controls for its own continued activity the energies that would otherwise use it up. Life is a self-renewing process through action upon the environment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
