Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Chrysostom and Saint Augustin My friend, Mr. Thomas Whittaker, proposes to publish a series of Studies in Christian Biography, devoted to the leaders of Christian thought and Christian life, in ancient, mediaeval, and modern times. He requested me to open the series with biographical sketches of St. Chrysostom, the greatest of the Greek, and St. Augustin, the greatest of the Latin Fathers. To this proposal I readily consented, with the understanding that I could make free use of material which I had previously prepared and recently enlarged as editor of translations of the chief works of these Fathers.* The memory of St. Chrysostom and St. Augustin can never die. They left their mark on every page of Church history, and their teaching and example will continue to prepare preachers and divines for their work. Petrarch carried the Confessions of St. Augustin always in his pocket; he called him "the philosopher of Christ" and "the sun of the Church," and made him his confessor in the autobiographical Dialogue on the Contempt of the World. A high admiration of these truly great and good men is quite consistent with an acknowledgment of their defects and errors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Augustin It must be acknowledged also that the very sight of his works is terrifying, whether we take the enormous folios in two columns of the Benedictine edition, or the volumes, almost as compact, and much more numerous, of recent editions. Behind such a rampart of printed matter he is well defended against profane curiosity. It needs courage and perseverance to penetrate into this labyrinth of text, all bristling with theology and exegesis and metaphysics. But only cross the threshold of the repellent enclosure, grow used to the order and shape of the building, and it will not be long ere you are overcome by a warm sympathy, and then by a steadily increasing admiration for the host who dwells there. The hieratic face of the old bishop lights up, becomes strangely living, almost modern, in ex pression. You discover under the text one of the most passionate lives, most busy and richest in instruction, that history has to shew. What it teaches is applicable to ourselves, answers to our interests of yesterday and to-day. This existence, and the century in which it was passed, recall our own century and ourselves. The return of similar circumstances has brought similar situations and characters it is almost our portrait. And we feel half ready to conclude that at the present moment there is no subject more actual than St. Augustin.

Download or read book A Select Library of the Nicene and Post Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church Vol 14 written by Philip Schaff and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 14: Saint Chrysostom: Homilies on the Gospel of St. John and the Epistle to the Hebrews This volume closes the American edition of the Works of St. Chrysostom, and at the same time the First Series of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Library of the Christian Fathers. The best works of St. Augustin and St. Chrysostom are thus brought within the reach of the English reader in a more complete form and at a lower price than ever before. The Epistle to the Hebrews was the last volume of the Oxford "Library of the Fathers," published under the direction and with a Preface of the late Dr. Pusey, the chief originator of that valuable Library. His Preface is dated, Oxford, May, 1877. He died Sept. 16, 1882. The American editor of the Homilies on the Hebrews has thoroughly revised the Oxford translation and enlarged it with a valuable introduction on the authorship of the Epistle (about which St. Chrysostom was mistaken), and a considerable number of explanatory footnotes. Unfortunately he died shortly before his MS. was sent to the printer, but his son read the proofs. The Rev. Dr. Frederic Gardiner (born Sept. 11, 1822, died July 17, 1889) was for many years Professor in the Berkeley Episcopal Divinity School at Middletown, Conn., and President of the Society of Biblical Literature and Exegesis. He edited a Greek Harmony of the Four Gospels, and several exegetical works, and was a contributor to Lange's Commentary, Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers, and various periodicals. The revision of the Homilies on the Epistle to the Hebrews was his last work. The Homilies on the Fourth Gospel appear as in the Oxford Library of the Fathers, with a few additional notes. The Rev. Charles Marriott (1811-1858) edited them, and wrote the preface to the first volume. For fourteen years, from 1841 to 1855, he was associated with Dr. Pusey as working editor, and superintended the publication of at least twenty-four volumes (twelve of St. Chrysostom, eight of St. Augustin, four of St. Gregory I.), i.e. more than one-half of that Library. It was with both a labor of love and sacrifice, without fee or reward except the approval of their conscience and of good men. To their unselfish labors the American edition owes a great debt of gratitude. Mr. Marriott did most of the literary drudgery, as translator, corrector, and proof-reader, with untiring fidelity and painstaking zeal till he was struck down by paralysis in 1855, "to wait in stillness for his Lord's last call." Dean Burgon states these facts in an interesting account of his intimate friend (in Lives of Twelve Good Men, London and New York, 1888, vol. I.296-376). He calls Marriott "a character unique, beautiful, and saint-like," and adds that he "lived quite above the world, and, like Enoch, walked habitually with God." I feel very thankful that this Patristic Library has so far been finished, and I am happy to announce that the "Christian Literature Company" is sufficiently encouraged to publish the second series, which will contain the Greek Fathers from Eusebius to John of Damascus, and the Latin Fathers from Hilary to Gregory the Great. I secured the cooperation of eminent patristic scholars of England and America several years ago for the completion of this enterprise. The first volume, containing a new translation and commentary of the historical works of Eusebius, will appear in April or May, 1890.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Augustine Yet slight as this work may seem, it will be of no small value if it makes St Augustine and his teaching known even in rough outline to numbers who have neither the leisure nor the ability to do for themselves what M. Hatzfeld has done for them; still more, if it creates a desire in more thoughtful minds to enter into closer sympathy with a great soul, the contemplation of whose depth and width, as it were of some calm ocean expanse, stills and tranquillises our troubled spirits, and makes them for a moment forget their own littleness.

Download or read book The Homilies of S John Chrysostom Archbishop of Constantinople on the Gospel of St Matthew Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by John Chrysostom and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-15 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Homilies of S. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, on the Gospel of St. Matthew, Vol. 3 The Theatres are the theme of his frequent reprobation, and the Monks of the mountains near Antioch of his praise. In Hom. Lxix. And lxx. He describes their mode of life as an edifying example to all. He frequently attacks the Anomoean or extreme Arian Heresy, and sometimes also the Manichean. It is perhaps worth while to recollect the nearly contemporaneous prevalence of Manicheism in the West, as it appears in the early history of St. Augustine. In Hom. Lxxxvi. There are some remarks on the device of Satan by which evil is introduced by little and little, which are worthy of consideration as applicable to the growth of erroneous doctrine and practice within the Church. For all information with respect to the Text and Manu scripts of these Homilies, the learned reader is referred to the Greek Edition of Mr. Field, which has been of great service, as affording a safe basis for the Translation. The paucity of materials possessed by Savile, and the carelessness of the Benedictine Editor, had left much room for improve ment by a judicious and faithful use of the existing copies. It may now at last be hoped, that we have a Text very closely approximating to the genuine work of the Author.

This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Select Library of the Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers of the Christian Church, Vol. 10: Saint Chrysostom; Homilies on the Gospel of Saints Matthew A modern reader must sometimes be struck with finding in St. Chrysostom a kind of criticism, which we are apt to think belongs only to later times. His main object, however, is moral, and he searches out with diligence both the meaning and the applications of particular passages. Usually concluding with an eloquent ex hortation to some special virtue. Some of the most remarkable of these exhortations are on the subject of Alms giving, which he seems to have pressed with success at last. His calculation in Hom. Lxvi. As to what might be done, is somewhat curious. In the end of Hom. Lxxxviii. He demands a reformation as the condition of his entering on the controversy with Infi'dels. In the next Homily he discusses the evidence of the Resurrection with nearly the same arguments as would still be used against an objector. The Theatres are the theme of his frequent reprobation, and the Monks of the mountains near Antioch of his praise. In Hom. Lxix. And lxx. He describes their mode of life as an edifying example to all. He frequently attacks the Anomaan or extreme Arian Heresy, and sometimes also the Manichean. It is perhaps worth while to recollect the nearly contemporaneous prevalence of Manicheism in the West, as it appears in the early history of St. Augustine. In Hom. Lxxxvi.
