But even thus limited the subject is a vast one, far surpassing the possibility of adequate treatment in a work like this. But the object will be achieved if a wider interest be awakened in this period of Church History, and fresh attention be directed to these earlier attempts to work out problems in Church and State which are still unsolved.

Download or read book An Introduction to Early Church History written by R. Martin Pope and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Early Church History: Being a Survey of the Relations of Christianity and Paganism in the Early Roman Empire The following sketch is intended as an introduction to the study of Christianity in its earlier stages of progress up to the accession of Constantine. It makes no preten sion to survey in detail either the history of the Empire or the history of the Church within that period, but rather endeavours by means of a series of impressions to meet the needs of students and others who desire to possess a compact statement of the main features of a development which culminated in the acceptance of Christianity as an imperial religion and, incidentally, transformed its primitive organisation into the ordered and stable system of Catholicism. The writer hopes that such an outline will elucidate the chief factors of a fasci nating historical process, suggesting lines upon which a fuller and closer study may proceed, and indicating the authorities, patristic and Otherwise, for a wider enquiry. It is obvious that some important features can only be incidentally mentioned, as, for example, the tendencies of Christian thought and the growth of dogma with details of heresy and ecclesiastical controversy. Atten tion has rather been concentrated on what perhaps is more generally desired, a survey of the movement in its contact with the empire, its influence, its self-defence and the public verdict.

It forms a connecting link between the times and nations properly called.

Download or read book The History of Christianity Vol 1 of 3 written by Henry Hart Milman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire This new edition of the History of Christianity has been revised throughout. A few passages have been added, chiefly in the notes; a few slightly enlarged. In general, I have not found much, after a period of above twenty years, which I should wish to retract or to modify. Some objection was raised, on the first publication of the work, against the commencement of the History of Christianity with the Life of Christ. I thought then, and still think, that life to be an integral and inseparable part of the History. It appeared to me necessary to the completeness of the History to trace it to its primal origin; to show that the Gospels, our only documentary authorities, offer a clear and distinct relation of that life, with no greater variation than might reasonably be expected from four separate and independent narratives, drawn up by different writers, at different times and places, and by one at least from a different point of view; that this relation accords in every respect with all that we know of the events, circumstances, manners, usages, opinions, of the age and country; that its religious signification, and, in part, supernatural character, in no way conflict, but are, rather, in full and perfect harmony, with its simple truth and reality.

Download or read book The Church of Rome Evidently Proved Heretick Classic Reprint written by Peter Berault and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of Rome Evidently Proved Heretick The following treatise is sound, sensible, and scriptural. Being plain and concise, it is very suitable for general circulation. It is given here as first published, except that the Editor has divided it into chapters and sections; and has removed to the bottom of the page the Latin quotations it contained, having given in the text a translation of them. The work is otherwise printed faithfully, with no material change in any of its expressions, with no curtailments, nor additions, except in trifling instances, owing to its being divided into chapters. Of the Author, the Editor knows no more than what he says of himself in the title-page of his work (that he abjured Popery in London, in 1671) and at the conclusion of this treatise. It is not with the man, but with his reasoning, that we have to do. Truth and fame are not necessarily connected, nor are they often found in the same person. Temptations accompany distinctions, and frequently lead to errors of the worst kind. A teachable spirit and a humble mind are the best requisites for the attainment of truth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Decay of the Church of Rome Is the Church of Rome gaining or losing ground in the worn field of religious controversy? No other issue, perhaps, in the spiritual struggle of our time attracts a wider interest, yet is concealed from the inquirer by a more perplexing tangle of contradictory statements, than this. To many the Church of Rome seems to silence all question by its display of vitality. Growing outward from the most fascinating city in the world, sending its roots deep into the life of the past 2000 years, spreading its branches to the outer limit of the five continents, it gives one an instinctive feeling of strength and endurance. It has survived the fiercest storms that have swept over Europe for many ages. Ancient Rome, at least in the days of Diocletian, employed its vast energy to tear it from its soil, yet in a century's time it looked down on the ruins of the Western Empire. It stood proudly out from the barbaric waves that rolled down from the north, and gathered from them greater force than ever. It flourished through the lethal degradation of the next five centuries, and drew fresh energy from the menacing revival of intellectual life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ and the Fathers: Or the Reformers of the Roman Empire Several cautious and guarded concessions have been made by Bishop Temple in his Bampton Lectures on the Relations between Religion and Science on this very head, The supernatural in the form of miracles can never be the highest kind of evidence, can never stand alone; but it seems to have been needed for their first reception. But the very admissions which he makes regarding the miracles of the Old Testament, viz. The times are remote, the date and authorship of the Books not established with certainty; the mixture of poetry with history no longer capable of any sure separation into parts, are equally applicable to the miracles of the New Testament, which are said to have occurred eighteen centuries ago. At the same time, I trust the larger hope, that as the belief of Christians rests mainly on the voice within ourselves, according to him, the publica tion of the Bishop's work will date the beginning of the end in the history of the English Church, coeval with the commencement of the new British Constitution.
