Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dawn of Christianity This course of lectures, delivered on Sunday even ings in the Meeting House of the Society for Ethical Culture during the winter of 1914, is a continuation of the series given in the preceding year and subse quently published under the title, The Life of Jesus in the Light of the Higher Criticism. The purpose of this sequel is to carry the story of the origin of Christianity on from the death of Jesus to the birth of the new religion, noting the precise part played in this process by the genius of Paul and the unique contribution made by the author of the Fourth Gospel in supplementing the Christology of the Apostle to the Gentiles with an account of the historic Jesus in terms they could understand. The first two lec tures relate to preliminary questions touching the formation of the New Testament as a collection of sacred books and the reliability of the record as a source of information on the development of religious thought and organization during the period under eon Sideration. We shall then see how, after the cruci fixion, the bereaved and despondent disciples came to themselves and under the inspiration of a great con viction concerning the immortality of their Master.

This book was released on 2017-12-26 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dawn of Christianity, or Studies of the Apostolic Church That a book of this kind might be of great service among Baptists, will probably be admitted. If we haveany justifi cation for a separate denominational existence, it is because loyalty-to the New Testament teaching regarding the church compels us to stand apart from other Christians. We are accustomed to state our distinctive principles in something like this form The Scriptures, the supreme and all - sufficient rule of faith and practice; the church, a spiritual body, con sisting only of the regenerate baptism, the Immersion of a believer on profession, of his faith; the Lord's Supper, the communion of those thus baptized with their Lord and with each other; each church independent as to its internal af fairs, but all the churches mutually interdependentand united in all good works the absolute right of every man to wor ship God according to the dictates of his own conscience, without molestation, so long as he does not interfere with the peace'and' good order of society. These things are dis tinctive Baptist pr1nc1ples, however, onlybecause we believe them to be distinctive'new Testament teachings. The object of this book is to Show the grounds of that belief, by a care ful and Candid'study of apostolic times, In the full light of the latest biblical and historical scholarship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robert Knapp reveals why some ordinary people in Judea and in the Roman and Greek worlds embraced a new approach to the supernatural in their daily lives. In a time of prophets, miracles, and magic, Jesus convinced people to change their beliefs by showing his connection to god-like power and solidifying his credentials through the Resurrection.
Download or read book The Day Dawn and the Rain written by John Ker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-17 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Day Dawn and the Rain: And Other Sermons The following Sermons have been given to the press chiefly for the sake of those whom the author was ao customed to address by the living voice, and whom he can, at present, reach but seldom through that means. His purpose will be served if the volume helps them in the way of remembrance, and more than served if, through God's blessing, it shall prove of any use beyond their circle. Most of the Sermons, though not all, have been preached, and the exception is referred to in order to account for some of them exceeding the limits which are ordinarily assigned to spoken discourse. The sub jects have not been selected with any attempt at unity in the illustration of Christian doctrine or duty. An effort has rather been made to secure a variety of topics. When human knowledge and life are Spreading out into ever wider circuits, the Christian ministry must seek to show itself a debtor to men of every class and char acter, and must endeavor to prove that there is no de partment of thought or action which cannot be touched by that Gospel which is the manifold wisdom of God. The more we study the way of God's commandments, the more shall we find it as broad as his other works, and increasingly rich to meet all the developments of human nature. At the same time, it is hoped that theunity sought to be indicated by beginning and ending the volume with Christ Jesus, is not merely and that, whatever may be the theme, it will be seen and felt to base itself on that One Foundation, and to strive, though all imperfectly, after the excellency of his knowledge.

Download or read book The Divine Mystery written by Allen Upward and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-24 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Divine Mystery: A Reading of the History of Christianity Down to the Time of Christ The present volume is the first of a series intended to elucidate the history and significance of the greatest revolution in history. The writer is proceeding with a study of Jesus the Nazarene, and the intricate problem of the growth and formation of the Christian creed and scriptures. It was not my original purpose to do more than summarise and combine the labours of previous students, and hence this outline was written mainly from memory. In deference to the wishes of others, I have now provided it with a modest furniture of references and citations for the guidance of readers unfamiliar with the subject (in doing which I have had the expert assistance of Mr. Dudley Wright); but I need not say that these notes give a very inadequate idea of the material actually drawn upon. It is as a work of interpretation, and not as a work of reference, that the volume has been planned, and the only scientific merit it can pretend to is that claimed by Bossuet for his Universal His tory, the merit of a general chart which shows the relations between different provinces. Current literature is seriously deficient in comprehensive surveys of the kind and I may be allowed to pay a tribute in passing to Professor Myres' lucid sketch, The Dawn of H istory, which I could wish to be read by way of introduction to these pages. So far as I am aware this is the first attempt at a complete outline of the Christian evolution in the light of modern knowledge, and perhaps the chapters dealing with the rise of monotheism may be found to bridge a real gap. No reader can feel so strongly as the writer how tentative and provisional every work of this kind must be for a long time to come but if we were to wait for perfect certainty in the field of history, we should wait for ever.

It is the vanguard of the incoming tide, but Wherein lies the explanation of its career? It is in the momentum of the sea behind it. It would not come, it would not rise, it would not break, it would not creep up the beach, if it were not for the roll and swell of the mighty sea behind it; and our farthest reach to-day is chiefly because of the swell of the humanity that is behind us.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from God's Light on Dark Clouds And for the premiership of the kingdom. Outside of the Damascus Gate I saw the spot where Stephen was stoned into a cruel death; but that martyr blood was not only the seed of the Church, but the first germ of conviction in the heart of Saul of Tarsus. This law explains the reason why God often sweeps away a Christian's pos sessions in order that he may become rich in faith, and why He dashes many persons off the track of prosperity, where they were running at fifty miles the hour, in order that their pride might be crushed, and that they might seek the safer track of humility and holy living. What a wondrous com pensation our bereaved nation is receiving for the loss of him who was laid the other day in his tomb by the lakeside! That cloud is already raining blessings, and richer showers may be yet to come. God's people are never So exalted as when they are brought low, never so enriched as when they are emptied, never so advanced as.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Revelation of Jesus: A Study of the Primary Sources of Christianity No subject of historical investigation lies so near to the life of the Church as does the revelation of Jesus; and yet many subjects have received a far larger measure of attention. We have, in English, but one scientific discussion of the entire subject of the teaching of Jesus, so far as I know, and that is a translation of Professor Wendt's work. Single topics in the teaching of Jesus have been investigated in recent years in America and England, as well as on the continent of Europe, by such eminent scholars as Briggs, Bruce, Fairbairn, Haupt, and Baldensperger; and works on the theology of the New Testament, notably those of Weiss, Beyschlag, and Bovon, contain a condensed treatment of the whole teaching of Jesus; but it still remains true that this most vital subject has received relatively little scientific attention. The revelation of Jesus must be historically investigated, and yet it is so intimately associated with our most sacred thoughts and feelings that a student shrinks from claiming that his investigation is absolutely historical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The First Easter Dawn: An Inquiry Into the Evidence for the Resurrection of Jesus To the advanced Rationalist this book may seem superfluous. Miracles, some may say, are impossible, because they would conflict with the universal law of causation. No evidence can prove a miracle. Why, then, trouble to examine the evidence for the resurrection of Jesus '2 But many sound thinkers decline to assume the impossibility of the miraculous, while remaining convinced that a dead man's return to life must always be more unlikely than the falsity of testimony to that effect. And as the haziest notions on this subject are still prevalent it has seemed desirable to group into one volume some of the principal objections to the orthodox doctrine as well as some examination of the main arguments in its favour.

This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sunrise, Noonday, and Sunset of the Day of Grace The familiar story, as we are to use it, opens a subject which every friend of chil dren must love to consider. An old man believes that a child has been called of God. An ordained minister of religion the high-priest of the Hebrews welcomes a little boy as the messenger of the Lord. That is all. But is not that enough to start very earnest and serious thought? The child whom God calls is not to be neglected; is not to be kept at a distance; is not to be disparaged. In his visible kingdom there should be a prompt and cordial welcome fore'very such child; and the nurture of the household of faith should be directed towards the maintenance and the development of the responsive faith' of children. Let us surrender ourselves to the leadership of this thought, as we propose, and consider the three practical questions: Does the Lord still call children; unto What does he call them; and how shall it be known that they have been called?
