He appeals to reason; ex amines history for himself; weighs both evidence and argu ment; and exercises his own intelligent judgment in sepa rating right from wrong, truth from falsehood. While the papacy demands implicit and passive obedience - the entire submission of the whole man, by the sacrifice of all his sense of personality - Protestantism encourages and develops this sense by treating every individual as endowed with the fac ulty of reason, and as possessing the right to employ it for himself. Manifestly, he who does not do it is mere clay in the hands of the potter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholic Church and Christian State, Vol. 2 of 2: A Series of Essays on the Relation of the Church to the Civil Power The relation of the pope towards the Holy Roman Empire has been interpreted in various ways, according to the views or prepossessions of the historian. If its origin be ignored, the empire is not seldom confused with the kingdom of Germany, and Popes are charged with having maintained immoderate pre tensions against emperors. In the first part of this essay we prepose to examine the Papacy and the Empire down to F te derick II. In the second part, the struggle of Frederick H.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1879 edition. Excerpt: ...if Christ has given his Church the power of self-government, what the Church does in the exercise of that power, if consistent with his revealed will, has as much his sanction as it well could have under any theory of Church government. If Paul says the civil powers are ordained of God, so that they who resist, resist the ordinance of God, although God has not revealed even a general system of civil polity, we see not why the same is not much more true with respect to the Church. That this is the true doctrine on this subject is evident, in the first place, from the absence of any express command binding the Church in all ages to conform her mode of government in every respect to the example of the apostolic churches. If Christ and his apostles had intended to make such conformity a matter of perpetual obligation, it is fair to presume they would have said so. As they have nowhere given or intimated such a command, no man has now the right to bind the conscience of God's people in this matter. Again, that the apostles never meant to make their example in all points of this kind, a perpetual law for the Church, is plain from the fact that they did not themselves pursue, in all particulars, the same plan in all places. There are some general principles to which they seem to have adhered, but it is far from being certain, or even probable, that all the apostolic churches were organized exactly after the same model. This indeed was hardly possible in that day of inspiration and miraculous gifts, which the Spirit distributed to every man, according to his own will; so that some were apostles, some prophets, some teachers; after that miracles, then gifts of healing, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. According to another enumeration, ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Civil Government and Religion: Or Christianity and the American Constitution Tms little work is the outgrowth of several lectures upon the relationship between religion and the civil power, delivered in Minneapolis, Minn., in October, 1888. The interest man ifested in the subject, and numerous requests for the publi cation of the main points of the arguments presented, have led to the issuing of this pamphlet. It is not intended to be exhaust ive in its discussion of any point upon which it treats, but only suggestive in all. The subject is always interesting and im portant, and as there is now a persistent demand being niade for religious legislation, especially in relation to Sunday-keepirig, this subject has hecome worthy of more careful study than it has ever received in this country since the adoption of the national Constitution. The quotations and references pre sented, with connecting arguments, are designed simply to furnish the reader a ready reference, and directions to further study of the subject. It is hoped that the facts presented will awaken more interest in the study of the Constitution of the United States, and may lead to a better understanding of men's rights and liberties under it, than is commonly shown 5 and also to a closer study of the relation that should exist between civil government and religion, according to the words of Christ and the American Constitution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and the Churches: Or, the Papacy and the Temporal Power; An Historical and Political Review As it is possible this book may fall into the hands of many but little acquainted with the claim which the Author has upon the attention of the learned in every country, it has been deemed advisable to collect some materials respecting his antecedent biography. The life of an author is to be found in his works; and it will be seen by the subjoined narrative that the years of Dr. Dollinger have been crowded with events; and that each of these reflects honour upon him as a theologian, a scholar, and an historian, as a man of deep research and of original thought. Dr. Dollinger was born at Bamberg, on the 28th February, 1799, and educated at Wurzburg. After several years passed, first at a curacy in Franconia, and as Professor at the Ecclemastical Seminary of Aschaffenberg, he was, in 1826, appointed one of the Faculty of Theology in the new University of Munich. The results of the French Revolution were felt in the youth and early manhood of Dr. Dollinger. Rationalism was everywhere predominant.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and the Slave Power N ow we presume it is sufficiently correct to say, that the Apostles preached the gospel both to the master and the slave and on the profession of their faith received them at once into the Church, without Obliging the master to abjure the legal relation, at least in any open or formal manner. But while so much is admitted, it must be borne in mind that the higher law of love at once did away with all cruelty, all whips, all chains, all imperious conduct, and the master and slave sat down to the same table of the Lord, and wor shipped together in the same assembly; wrought together at the same occupations, worshipped around the same family altar. In a word, the master reserved no rights which the golden rule or the law of love would accord to the bondman.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Early Church History The period of which these studies treat extends from the time of Christ to the reign of Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor. This era has been called, The Heroic Age of the Church It was during these three hundred years that Christianity encountered the bitter hostility of the Roman and Greek religions and systems of philosophy and was under the ban of the civil power. It was then that it formulated its doctrines, set forth its principles, wrote its New Testament books and endured its fiery persecutions. In the enthusiasm and freshness of their faith, its converts dared all things; no tasks were too hard, no hardships too great and no tortures too painful, when called for in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Saviour.

Download or read book The Government of the Church in Relation to the State and the Laity Classic Reprint written by Walter G. F. Phillimore and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-11-29 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Government of the Church in Relation to the State and the Laity It is obvious that these two kinds Of government by the State and by the laity are very different, that they must rest on different principles, and be exercised in different ways. There have been theories and theorists who have represented the government or control of the Church by tthe State as being in substance the government of the Church by the laity, and who have justified this government upon this ground. But, though in a nation composed entirely of members of the Church, it may possibly be that the laity may preponderate over the clergy in the State, or civil society, while the clergy preponderate in the Church, yet even then the control of the Church by the State will only accidentally express the govern ment of the laity, the laity regulating a matter Of State will do so not as lay-churchmen but as citizens, and in fact to give the control Of the Church to the State in such a case is to create two rival bodies, each with despotic power in its own sphere, and with no bond Of union between them, rather than to blend with proper admixture Of powers and parts the two bodies into one harmonious constitution. This is so even when the State is composed entirely of members of the Church. Of course, directly persons who are not members Of the Church come to have civil rights and in uence in the State, all idea of the State representing the laity is gone.

Download or read book Thoughts on the Separation of Church and State Classic Reprint written by Edward Burton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-01-24 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thoughts on the Separation of Church and State It might, perhaps, be true in one sense to say, that the State united itself with the Church in this country: and it is important to remember, that the Church of England existed for centuries before there was any State, to which it could unite itself. A Church or body of Christians existed in this country, and was governed by Bishops, Priests, and Deacons, not only for many centuries before Unitarians, or Quakers, or Infidels were allowed to sit in Parliament, but for many centuries before Parliament itself was thought of. There is great reason to think, that Christianity was introduced into this island in the first century and there is positive evidence, that it had spread very widely in the second century, while the government was still Pagan. In the fourth century we read of Bishops from British churches attending Councils in different parts of Europe: and no fact in history is more demonstrable, than that the Episcopal form of Church Government prevailed at that time in Britain, as it did in the whole of Christendom. If we ask why our British ancestors preferred an Episcopal Church, we shall be drawn into the con troversy concerning Episcopacy, for which I have no fancy at present: and it is sufficient to observe, that the Christian inhabitants of the island settled the matter for themselves all Christians were then Episcopalians: there were no Presbyterians, no Independents, no Quakers, no Baptists, no Unita rians: there were, in fact, no Dissenters: all be longed to the Church of England and the frame work and constitution of that Church were precisely the same then as they are at present, with this difference in part of its arrangements, that the Epis copal sees were not established by any act of the civil power, nor was the nomination of Bishops in the hands of the Government.
