Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Church History In the present edition of the Outline of Church History, an effort has been made to adapt it more fully to the needs of the student, of the teacher, and of the general reader, than were the former editions of the work. Some departments have been thoroughly changed. Dates, so far as they can be definitely or approximately known, have been assigned to the tables of the Church Fathers. The chapter in the first edition treating of the latest history of the Church has been canceled, and another, bringing down the history to the present year, has been substituted for it. The Survey of Missions has been entirely re-written, giving the latest progress in the foreign mission fields of the Church. An Index, which was not thought necessary in the first issue of the work, has been found, by the use of the volume, to be a real want, and has been supplied in the new edition. The first summary which we give below, the General Periods of Church History, should be carefully committed to memory, to serve as a framework for the entire structure of Church History. The student will then have in mind a general survey of all the periods, in historical order, with exact dates defining the general divisions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Church History, Vol. 24 By publishing my Lectures on Church History ("Grundzüge der Kirchengeschichte"), which I first delivered once a week as a public course for members of all faculties in the winter 1896-97, and afterwards, in approximately their present enlarged form, on many occasions, to theologians twice a week, I hope that I am meeting a more general demand, particularly among theologians. The need of an historical education for all who would take part in the organising of the Church hardly needs, in these days, to be pointed out. And yet how many succumb to the task of working their way through a forest of facts and problems; how often is disgust the only result, in the case even of gifted students and clergymen! Non-theologians easily underestimate the magnitude of the work required of theologians alone in the field of Church History, when they have not only to survey a development of two millenniums and of a rich and delicate ramification extending into every sphere of thought and life, but also to penetrate it and submit it to their criticism.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Ecclesiastical History The work is divided into four parts, each with a distinct idea running through it. Part I deals with the estab lishment OF the church through the ministry of Messiah and his apostles; Part II with the apostasy, brought about through the severe persecution to which the early saints'were subjected, the rise of false teachers, changing the ordinances of the gospel, intermingling pagan philosophy with Christian doctrine, and a transgression of the laws of God; Part III deals with the reformation, treating it, however, as a revolution instead of a reformation, since the so-called reformation by no means reestablished primitive Christianity, either in its form or essence, but it did overthrow the power of the Catholic church in the greater part of Western Europe, gave larger liberty to the people, and thus prepared the way for the great work which followed it - the introduction of the Dispensation of the Fullness of Times;? Part IV treats of the restoration, OF the gospel, in the aforesaid dispensation, through the rev elations which God gave to the Prophet Joseph Smith.

Download or read book A Brief Outline of Church History written by Theodore P. Bolliger and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Brief Outline of Church History: Including the Reformed Church in the U. S Christ came into the world to do two things: first, to complete the work of redemption and to offer righteousness and salvation freely to all; secondly, to establish a church and give it authority and power to conquer the world. The work of redemption is revealed to us in the Bible, the conquests of the Church in Church History. A well-informed Christian should know both. Church History is divided into three great epochs. Ancient Christianity, 4 B.C. to 590 A.D., dealing with the early Christian Church; from the Birth of Christ to Gregory the Great. Medieval Christianity, 590-1517, unfolding the Glory and Decline of the Papacy; from Gregory the Great to the Reformation. Modern Christianity, 1517 to the present, presenting the Rise of Protestantism and the Multiplication of Denominations and Sects; from the Reformation to the Present Time. I. The Apostolic Age covers the first century. 1. The Infallible Rule. The Word of God, the life of Christ and the History of the Apostolic Church furnish the Infallible Rule by which all later developments in doctrine, worship, and church government must be measured. 2. Extension. The apostles obeyed the command of Christ: "Ye shall be my witnesses, both in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." The gospel was spread by extensive missionary journeys of the apostles, by the travels and business trips of believers, and by dispersions caused by persecutions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of the Fathers: Being an Outline of the History of the Church 98 to 461 It has become a common practice for those who are beginning the study of Church History to give equal attention to the period which precedes the conversion of Constantine and the period which includes the first four (Ecumenical Councils. Consequently this book is divided into two equal parts at the close of chapter xvi. on page 222. It begins with the death of the last apostle of our Lord, and it ends with the labours of S. Leo and S. Patrick, who both exercised so profound an influence on Western Christendom. The author has included as many references to original authorities as the space permits, and more particularly to the Ecclesiastical Histories of Eusebius and Socrates. Effort has been made to keep each chapter abreast with recent investigations, both English and foreign, so that it may more worthily represent "the mother of the saints, the image of the city that is on high, and the perpetual guardian of the Blood that knoweth no corruption." In preparing the Third Edition, the Author has been able, by the kindness of a friend, to correct several small mistakes which previously escaped his notice.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Outline of the History of the Christian Reformed Church of America We cannot refrain from - nor do we apologize for - this little digression from the straight line of narration, since there are so many striking coincidences in the history of both the United Presbyterian and Christian Reformed Churches. Even the sobriquet of seceders has been awarded us, though a century later, in 1834, as the latter part of this sketch will show, and has been inflicted upon us until the present day, yea by brethren whom we love and who feel quite at liberty to boast the same godly ancestry as we Christian Reformed people do.

D. 1304 I have tried to avoid overloading my pages with details of political history; but in no period is it so easy to miss the whole lesson of events by an attempt to isolate the special influences which affected the organised society of the Church. The interpretation which I have adopted of the important events at Canossa is not, of course, universally accepted; but the fact that it has seldom found expression in any English work may serve as my excuse.

This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches From Church History for Mennonite Schools The purpose of this little volume is to offer not what the pupil should hear in his classes, nor what the teacher should know, but what the former should learn and take with him from school and should use as a nucleus around which to gather further knowledge. Because of the fact that only a short time can be devoted to this study in school, it is self-evident that the amount of matter presented must be very limited. The teacher should let the class read each new paragraph and should explain such words and sentences as are not understood by the pupils. Then the pupils should close their books while the teacher enlarges upon the subject-matter of the text-book. This method will naturally arouse the interest of the pupils. The teacher, however, must guard against presenting too much outside matter. During the following recitation period he must expect the pupils to know what is given in the text-book. If they can give anything definite of what he added, they should be especially commended. It is scarcely necessary to warn against a discussion of the peculiarities distinguishing the various branches of our denomination. For that reason every occasion for such discussion has been avoided in this book. Short devotional meditations and applications are appropriate. They, however, will make deeper impressions if they are presented orally by the teacher instead of being read out of the text-book. We hope that this little volume will prove helpful in our schools.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of Missionary History There is, of course, a right place for these things. But while the interest of the child is child like, the mere interest of the adult is childish. Let us have interest in the Sunday school, but let us have passion in the Church, based upon some knowledge of its progress. We must expect from the Church more than interest in that work of re demption for which Christ endured the agony of a Gethsemane and the heartbreak of a Calvary. The Master went to His death amidst apparent failure and defeat, content to foresee the result of that travail of His soul which should satisfy. The work which was thus initiated by the pas sion of Christ can hardly be carried on only as it appeals to the interest of the Church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Revolution: Being an Outline of the History of the Church From 1648 to 1815 N this volume I have restricted my work to the history of those religious bodies which believe episcopacy to be of the esse of the Church and which claim to have, and appear to me to have, preserved the succession of bishops according to the ancient rule. But the history is avowedly only a sketch, and there is much that is left out that might well be told in a history which dealt with the Church in another aspect as well as on another scale.

This book was released on 2017-11-30 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outlines of New Testament History The present is a companion volume to the Outlines of Jewish History published some months ago. It deals with the historical data supplied by the inspired writings of the New Testament, in exactly the same manner as the pre ceding work did with the various events recorded in the sacred books of the Old Testament. In both volumes the writer has pursued the same purpose and followed the same methods. Both works have been prepared for the special use of theological students, not, however, without the hope that they may prove serviceable to a much larger number of readers, such as teachers of Bible history in Sunday-schools, colleges, academies, and the like. In neither volume has it been the aim of the writer to supply a substitute for the Bible itself, but rather a help towards a more careful perusal of the inspired record. With this purpose in view, he has set forth such results of modern investigation as may render the sacred narrative more intelligible and attractive. Many of the difficulties which are daily being raised on historical grounds are also touched upon, and the biblical student is supplied with constant references to further sources of in formation.
