Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Aspects of Primitive Church Life For the purpose of these addresses it must suffice to look at certain aspects of primitive Church history in their general outline. The field is very wide, and we can only traverse parts of it: and even in regard to the sub jects on which we can dwell, a full discussion of many details would be out of place, would more than fill up the time at our disposal. Our aim must be to form or to recover such ideas of the Church life of those distant first centuries as may afterwards admit of further illustrations, and may not require to be cast aside as determined by an erroneous standpoint.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Life in the Primitive Church This difficulty will be most felt in questions of literary history. I have been compelled to introduce them; for only so could the sources be systematically valued. On the other hand it would have disordered my work, if I had yielded to the temptation to include a small introduction to the New Testament. The discussion of single problems which I handle in a way special to myself may be possible elsewhere. I trust that the few supplementary notes, especially the last, will be found useful, and the detailed indexes helpful in using the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Primitive Church and the See of Peter Of course we desire to convert all men - especially our own countrymen, as loving them best - to the Catholic Religion. Could it be otherwise? We believe the Catholic religion to be the one only true religion, founded by Jesus Christ upon the Rock. We should fail, then, in love for God did we not strive to extend His Kingdom, which is His Church upon earth; and in love for our neighbour, did we not endeavour to persuade him to become one of God's liegemen and a sharer with us in the Divine life of the Faith and of the Sacraments. It is no matter of doubt or of indifference that is at stake, but absolutely the most vital, the most personal, the eternal interest of man. But any kind of conversion will not do. The conversion must be real, genuine, and based on solid grounds. That is to say, it must rest not only upon conviction, but upon a right conviction, a conviction rooted in the right fundamental principle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Primitive Church and the Primacy of Rome His book demands an introduction, which, I am afraid, will have to be mainly occupied with myself. Until eighteen months ago I was a member of the Society of Jesus; now I am no more so. I was not expelled from that Society. I left it of my own accord, because the religious opinions and doctrines I held did not any longer agree with the opinions and doctrines held sacred by that Society. As long as I remained in the Society of Jesus my Superiors never complained of me for reasons other than those connected with differences in doctrine. On this point I can appeal to all the Jesuits who have known me. I served the Society of Jesus for twenty-seven years with the utmost fidelity.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amusements and the Christian Life: In the Primitive Church and in Our Day IN preparing the following discussion, my aim has been to illustrate great principles by the light of early history for practical effect. All the ma terial used is old; much of it is common to his torians and antiquarians, and yet so scattered through and hidden in large works not in general circulation as to be practically inaccessible and un known.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art Teaching of the Primitive Church: With an Index of Subjects, Historical and Emblematic This volume contains some notes Of the traditionary subjects of Early Christian art as far as the first Italian Renaissance. That period, it seems, may be best marked by the name Of Niccola Pisano. Whatever the unknown artists Of the earliest Lom bard churches may have done, the careful study Of Ancient or attic-greek models, as distinguished from those of the Byzantine school, is held to begin with that great master; whose life marks the commencement of Modern art. By his twe, the Gothic or Mediaeval choice Of subject and treat ment was fully established. It is an Object Of this work to point out some of the differences in these respects, between mediaeval and primitive Church art, and to give some notes of the progressive in trusion of legend and polytheism into the ancient cycle of Scriptural art-teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Faith and Life of the Early Church: An Introduction to Church History The following work does not profess to be a complete and detailed history of Christianity in the first century. Its design is, rather, to investigate those features of the history which arc of importance and interest at the present time. Since related subjects had to be discussed in separate chapters, some repetition was unavoidable: some questions which can scarcely be called secondary have had to yield to the demand for brevity. It is hoped, however, that no really essential element belonging to the subject has been entirely overlooked.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Irish Primitive Church: Together With the Life of St. Patrick, and His Confession in Latin, With a Parallel Translation There had ever been among the ancients a vague and shadowy notion that, in the Western Ocean, there was an island where the people were holy, where the rites of religion were duly observed, and where the fields were always green. No one can tell who originated this notion, but it Spread widely, and has floated down to our own times. It is referred to in the legend of the island of Atlantis, as well as in that of the Isle of Calypso, the Hesperides, the Fortunate Isles, the Elysium of Homer, and the Heaven of the Indians, some happier island in the watery waste. Some enthusiastic Hibernians think this island was their own green Erin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Life of Christians written by Chr Ludw Couard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Christians: During the First Three Centuries of the Church; A Series of Sermons on Church History IN giving to the English public the following dis courses on the History of the Primitive Church, I have been actuated neither by the eloquence of the language, nor the novelty of the views contained in them, but simply by the lively and practical piety which they display, and the necessity which seems to have arisen in these days for exhortations of the kind. At a time when German theology has assumed so questionable a character, and has become so justly suspected in a country Where religious speculation has always been confined within modest bounds, I should have hesitated at introducing a new work from thence, unless I were fully convinced of the general scriptural integrity of its views. In this case, however, the difficulty has been entirely removed by the fact, that these Sermons have for their groundwork Dr Neander's celebrated History of the Early Church, a work known in this country through the admirable version of it by the Reverend Henry Rose, whose preface bears a handsome testimony to its general orthodoxy, and which was pronounced by his brother, the late Christian advocate, to be the most truly Christian history of the church ever yet published. I trust this will be a guarantee sufficient for the general rectitude of the views here taken, and shall therefore.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Original Draught of the Primitive Church: In Answer to a Discourse Entituled, an Enquiry Into the Constitution, Discipline, Unity and Worship, of the Primitive Church, That Flourished Within the First Three Hundred Years After Christ Every one too well knows, of what a large and extensive nature this unhappy subject is, and that the controversial books about it are sadly numerous, and full of different schemes and arguments, according to the genius of sects, and times, and persons; many of which might have fallen in with several parts of this dis course, had I been inclined to 'dispute, ' as I bless God I am not, but I have kept close to the single treatise before me, and that for two rea sons especially.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Christianity Exemplified in the Private, Domestic, Social, and Civil Life of the Primitive Christians, and in the Original Institutions, Offices, Ordinances, and Rites of the Church A faithful record of the doctrines, the institutions and rituals of the Church, is its true history. These, and not merely or chiefly its conflicts, its trials, and its triumphs, disclose the true genius and Spirit of Christianity. But the study of these two great branches of Christian Archaeology, the history Of its ceremonials and of its doctrines, indispensable to all who would rightly read the history of the ancient church, has been almost totally neglected in this country. Neither of them, we believe, is made a separate and distinct subject of study in any of our theological seminaries; nor has a single course of lectures on either of these topics, so far as the writer is informed, ever been delivered by any public lec turer or professor of ecclesiastical history in our land.

Download or read book Vital Forces of the Early Church Classic Reprint written by Harry Angus Alexander Kennedy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vital Forces of the Early Church It was inevitable that in the late traditions embodied in Acts the power should be associated with miracles and marvels. But any penetrating reader can discern that what really counted in the primitive community was the abnormal endowment for Spiritual situations. So that it is not going beyond the evidence to say that the early Christians soon began to feel their call to victory. From their intimate knowledge of Jesus they believed that this was the Divine purpose. Hence they never hesitated to become fellow-workers with God. The outcome of this equipment in their daily thought and feeling was enthusiasm. So much is plain from the opening chapters of Acts, corroborated by many passages in the Epistles. It is unfortunate that attention has been turned aside from the more general features of the community to such more or less accidental details as the sale of their goods by individuals and the contribution of the proceeds to a common fund. The important feature in the famous story of Ananias and Sapphira is not the terrible penalty represented as falling upon them suddenly, but the high standard of Christian morality which the story presupposes.

That the original plan may be fully carried out, and the faithful and devoted layman of the Church, who is the author, be in some degree rewarded for his life-long labor and study in that department of learning. Is my most earnest prayer nor have I any doubt that the catholic faith will eventually become as much a standard work as any that can be named for the use of theological students and for the clergy.
