Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church in the City If by its profound philosophy that monument of genius, piety, and erudition, "The City of God," was "the death warrant of ancient society," it was also, despite its mystic extravagances, the charter and vindication of the social purposes and program of Christianity. Nevertheless, the world yet awaits the fulfillment of the divine ideal in the production, through the agency of the people of God, of a society adapted to all the needs of man, a society that both permits and assists his complete development in the parts and qualities of his being. Is this achievement possible of realization? Not if Rousseau was correct. "We are told," he says in treating the subject of civic religion, "that a nation of Christians would form the most perfect society conceivable. In this supposition I see only one great difficulty - that a society of true Christians would be no longer a society of men." Pessimism establishes its logic by definitions. Schopenhauer, for example, "asserts that speculation is for action, wisdom for life, and then sophistically argues that we should not expect a metaphysician to be a saint." Christianity cannot organize society if it is itself inhuman. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Promised Glory of the Church of Christ Acknowledged evils abound on all sides; the world is groaning under them; while increasing dangers thicken all around us. Those who do not with careless indifference disregard everything but present pleasures and present profit, all those who really seek permanent good for all men, cannot but desire to have a sure guide to that good. There is one society in the world, and but one, which already possesses that good, and has divine security for its enduring and everlasting glory; and that society is the true Church Of Christ. The object of this treatise is to induce the reader to join truly and fully this blessed com. Pany, and to partake of their present security and their everlasting blessedness the sure guide is nothing less than God's own word, and the promised aid of his own Spirit given to them that ask.

Download or read book The Church for Americans Classic Reprint written by William Montgomery Brown and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 530 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church for Americans As the origin of a book is often of interest to the reader, I will explain that this work is along lines, which, as a Missionary, I have followed for many years in my addresses and conversations concerning the Church. I was first induced by the request of the Rt. Rev. Dr. Leonard, Bishop of Ohio, to elaborate my talks into formal lectures, in the hope that they might contribute in some degree to the excellent preparation which our Missionary recruits are receiving at the Divinity School of Kenyon College. After their delivery to the Theological students, it was thought that they would not be without interest to Sunday School teachers and others who now and then are called upon to commend or defend our beloved Church. Accordingly they have been made the basis of Lenten discourses to general congregations in Trinity Church, Toledo, and the Cathedral Parish, Cleveland. Finally, I have been persuaded by the representations of many who heard them that, if published, they would make a useful book for distribution among those who have been reared under Denominational or Roman influences, and supply the need, often felt by Lay readers and young missionaries, of a course of Confirmation instructions about the Church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church of Christ The republication Of the Book is peculiarly timely. It is as much needed now as it was fifty years ago. Men are still asking, What is the Church? Here they will find an Old answer freshly and clearly stated. Here they will find principles laid down which all will do well to lay to heart. The author pleads for and displays absolute fairness in describing the system of an opponent. He refuses to deny to Rome the name Of Christian, and acknowledges her merits as well as points out her errors and defects. He insists on the necessity of teaching positive truth, and emphasises the futility Of mere negations. Exaggerated statements and appeals to popular feeling find no favour with him. Above all, he reasserts and applies the great prin ciple which lay at the very heart Of the Reformation, and is the sheet-anchor Of the English Church, that, however highly we may regard the Opinions Of a Cyprian or an Augustine, it is to the original Sacred Writings of Christianity, to the words Of inspired and Apostolic men, that we must appeal even on such a subject as the doctrine of the Church. If we follow his lead, the position is impregnable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Church and Its Polity Classic Reprint written by Charles Hodge and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Church and Its Polity In 1835 my father began to write a series of annual articles, in review of the action of each successive General Assembly, in which he furnished a brief narrative of the proceedings, and discussed the doctrinal and ecclesiastical principles involved. He contributed each of the articles of this series which appeared in the Princeton Review from 1835 to 1868, with the exception probably of that of 1841. They, therefore, contain an exposition of his views of the fundamental principles underlying the constitution of the Church and its administration, and of the practical application of these principles to the various historical conditions experienced by the American Presbyterian Church during that long period. In 1845 he began to lecture to his classes in the Seminary on the topics embraced under the general head of Ecclesiology, and eventually lectured over the whole ground embraced in this department. At that time it was apparently his purpose to prepare for publication an exhaustive treatise on the subject, defending Presbyterian Church order in view of the present attitude of its Prelatic and Independent opponents. His manuscripts disclose the fact that these lectures were more than once rewritten, and articles substantially identical with several of them were published in the Princeton Review in successive years from 1846 to 1857. After the publication of his Systematic Theology, he often expressed the desire that he might be permitted to complete that work by the addition of a fourth volume embracing the department of Ecclesiology; but he was prevented by the infirmities incident to his advanced age.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cathedral in the American Church Having made this explanation, it may be right for him to state something of the way in which he has executed it. He has not indulged the least hesitancy in the freest use of what others have said. He has adopted their words when they have answered his pur pose, and their great names seemed to add authority to their Opinions; and he has appropriated their views when for any reason, such as brevity, he could not quote their language. He wishes here in this general way to disclaim all originality or pretense of it. At the same time, when the conditions of our country and generation have come into view he has expressed his own opinion with reference to them. Many matters which might well be given a place in a book on the subject have been passed over; others which might well be given a large place have been only touched upon. This has been necessary in the writer's view of the practical usefulness of the book. He has thought that next to such a book being written it was most desirable that it should be small. He hopes, however, that it may suggest to the interested reader more than is written out at length. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Story of the Catholic Church Classic Reprint written by George Stebbing and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 734 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Catholic ChurchThe following pages are an attempt to give within a limited compass the main outlines of the events which make up the Story of the Catholic Church. That story is one that has no equal, whether we consider the number of persons, places, and vicissitudes involved, or the real importance of the interests at stake. It is, in fact, the very width and diversity of the subject matter which help to make it difficult to weave into one connected narrative. Yet, it is not without a centre. There is a unity in the subject strong enough to give form to the multitude of details, if only it can be properly handled. The problem for a writer must therefore be the accomplishment of this. Is there any hope of rising to his great argument, at least so far as to furnish an intelligible sketch of the mighty panorama unrolled before him? Nothing less than this hope assuredly would give heart to anyone to attempt the task. In such an enterprise as this a perfect work is, of course, out of the question. An outline that shall be true as far as it goes, not indeed showing everything, but mindful of balance and proportion and connection, would recompense much toil. And this is all that the present book aims at. To present that matchless story from one point of view in a way that any reader can understand, carrying him on from age to age and from land to land without undue weariness or distraction, but not forgetting the abiding centre and living unity which govern it, this has been the author's aim.Hence, although the plan of the book has needed some thought, and its details not inconsiderable labour, it can lay no claim to be a work of research. It has no new and startling secrets to reveal, no abstruse theories to discuss. It would not be a field adequate for such; but nothing has been put down which did not seem warranted by the facts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
