Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conversion of Europe The books dealing with missionary work outside the continent of Europe that have been published during the present generation are sufficient in number to fill a large library; but during this period not a single volume has appeared in England, America or Germany, which gives a detailed account of the work done by the missionaries who first preached the Christian faith in the various countries of Europe. In view of this fact, no apology is needed for the publication of a book which attempts to cover this long-neglected ground. In collecting materials for the present volume I have tried to go back in every case to the earliest existing authorities, and in the footnotes and the bibliography provided I have indicated whence the information given in the text has been obtained. I have not found it possible to arrange the chapters in a completely satisfactory chronological order. The missionary work in Europe began in the Balkan Peninsula and in Italy; but, as the whole of these countries did not become nominally Christian until Ireland and a large part of Great Britain had been evangelized, it seemed best to place the countries in the order in which Christianity became generally established as the religion of its peoples.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Conversion of the West: The English The wave of migration which flung the Celt upon the European Continent, was succeeded by a second wave, which bore other tribes from the same Aryan homes to the frontiers of the Roman Empire. The masters of the world chose to call these new comers, as they called the Greeks, by a name which was not their own. This name for them was Germans. Amongst themselves, on the other hand, they were Diutisc, Thiudisco, Deutscher, or, in its Latin form, Teutons. Into the greater part of their country the Romans never penetrated after the times of Drusus and Germanicus. They regarded them as barbarians, but admired the austerity and purity of their manners, the honour they paid their women, their spirit of independence, and warlike energy.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Translations and Reprints, Vol. 2: From the Original Sources of European History An English city or borough,1 in the early Middle Ages, is to be looked upon, in the greater number of cases, simply as a manor or group of adjacent manors, where facilities for trade or handicraft have led to a larger and more concentrated population than could have subsisted merely on the agriculture of the rural commun ity. In each of these towns local customs grew up, just as the custom of the manor existed in each village in the Open country but more highly developed, as a consequence of the closer population, mercantile occupation, and more active life of the townspeople.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation in Europe: With a Chronology of the Reformation Every one who is acquainted with the uninspired productions of even the early christian writers, is compelled to admit the marked difference between them and the books of the New Testament; a difference, not merely arising from the fact that inspiration had ceased, and with it the divine style peculiar to those "holy men of God" who spake and wrote "as they were moved by the Holy Ghost;" but indicating the adoption of sentiments and practices for which no authority is found in the word of the Lord. The apostle Paul prophesied of these times. He foresaw the flood of corruption, and forewarned the church of its approach: see 2 Thess. 2; 1 Tim. 4:1-3; 2 Tim. 3:1-5. His words were verified.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Preludes to the Reformation: Or From Dark to Day in Europe The writer of the following work trusts that its title, 'preludes to the Reformation, ' expresses accurately its nature and object. In considering any great crisis in the world's history, we must look not only at the immediate causes of it, or the prominent actors in it, but we must also trace the preparations which have been made for it through the ages. These antecedents altogether elude the cursory attention given to them by a large proportion of the readers of history. The river rolls onward in its subterranean course; but they do not care to observe its windings, or the caverns through which it has passed, until it again bursts forth into the full blaze of day, and pours its fertilizing tide over a barren waste, so as to clothe it with rich vegetation. They admire the grandeur of the thunder-storm, but they do not consider the manner of the gradual formation Of the store Of electric forces which have caused it suddenly to roll down the valleys and to waken the echoes of the mountains.

Download or read book The Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin Vol 7 Classic Reprint written by Merle D'Aubigne and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 784 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformation in Europe in the Time of Calvin, Vol. 7 A whole year has elapsed since the publication of the sixth volume of the History of the Reformation. But this delay is owing to the fact that the editor has been unable to devote to this undertaking more than the scanty leisure hours of an active ministry; and not, as some have supposed, to the necessity of compiling the History from notes more or less imperfect left by the author. The following narrative, like that which has preceded it, is wholly written by M. Merle d'Aubigne himself. The editor repeats the statement made on the publication of the last volume - that his task has consisted solely in verifying the numerous quotations occurring in the text or as foot-notes, and in curtailing, in two or three places, some general reflections which interfered with the rapid flow of the narrative, and which the author would certainly have either suppressed or condensed if it had been permitted him to put the finishing touches to his work. We can only express our gratitude to the public for the reception given to the posthumous volume which we have already presented to them. Criticism, of course, has everywhere accompanied praise. The estimates formed by the author of this or that character have not been accepted by all readers; and the journals have been the organs of the public sentiment.

Download or read book The Making of Europe written by Christopher Dawson and published by CUA Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Dawson concludes that the period of the fourth to the eleventh centuries, commonly known as the Dark Ages, is not a barren prelude to the creative energy of the medieval world. Instead, he argues that it is better described as "ages of dawn" for it is in this rich and confused period that the complex and creative interaction of the Roman empire, the Christian Church, the classical tradition, and barbarous societies provided the foundation for a vital, unified European culture. In an age of fragmentation and the emergence of new nationalist forces, Dawson argued that if "our civilization is to survive, it is essential that it should develop a common European consciousness and sense of historic and organic unity." But he was clear that this unity required sources deeper and more complex than the political and economic movements on which so many had come to depend, and he insisted, prophetically, that Europe would need to recover its Christian roots if it was to survive. In a time of cultural and political ambiguity, The making of Europe is an indispensable work for understanding not only the rich sources but also the contemporary implications of the very idea of Europe.
Download or read book The Conversion of Europe TEXT ONLY written by Richard Fletcher and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 1917 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of how Europe was converted to Christianity from 300AD until the barbarian Lithuanians finally capitulated at the astonishingly late date of 1386. It is an epic tale from one of the most gifted historians of today. This remarkable book examines the conversion of Europe to the Christian faith in the period following the collapse of the Roman Empire to approximately 1300 when the hegemony of the Holy Roman Empire was firmly established. One of the book’s great strengths is the degree to which it shows how little was inevitable about this process, how surrounded by uncertainties. What was the origin of the missionary impulse? Who were the activists who engaged in this work – the toilsome, often unrewarding, sometimes dangerous work of evangelisation, and how did they set about putting over this faith? How did a structure of ecclesiastical government come into being? Above all, at what point can one say that an individual or a society has become Christian? Fletcher’s range, lucidity and mastery of his sources brings the answers to these and many other questions as far within our grasp as they probably ever can be. Like Alan Bullock and Simon Schama, Fletcher is a historian with the true gift of a storyteller and a wide general readership ahead of him. Fletcher’s previous book, The Quest for El Cid won both the Wolfson History Prize and the Los Angeles Times Book Award for History. This book is even better – the most impressive achievement so far of this strikingly gifted historian.
