Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Early Christianity The extent of the Roman Empire is something which it is very difficult for us to realise. In a.d. 70, when Jerusalem was destroyed, and all men could see that Judaism and Christianity were detached from one another, the Roman Empire included thirty-six provinces, and stretched from Southern Britain to Armenia. It included London, Cologne, Paris, Cordova, Carthage, Alexandria, Damascus, Smyrna, and the town which we call Constanti nople but which was then named Byzantium. Chester and Lincoln were the two most northerly points held by Roman troops, whose comrades were stationed in Egyptian' towns half as old as time. The Emperor Augustus had in stituted a vast system of political reform to which his successors had generally adhered. Augustus made a united Italy, and stimulated a patriotism for Italy which could not be dissociated from devotion to himself. His name and victories were so continually in the festivals and in the worship of the people, that the measures were com prehended in the man. He bound the middle classes to himself by offering them prefectures and governorships he encouraged guilds which might further the interests of the populace, and while he controlled the power of the aristocratic senate, he consoled its pride with outward splendours. The provinces were prosperous, and though the three immediate successors of Augustus and of his adopted. Son Tiberius were men of inferior calibre, the empire was tranquil and wealthy. Actual misgovernment was rare, irritation against the government was seldom felt, except by half-civilised peoples in the extreme East and North. Spain and Gaul were being rapidly Romanised, and although Asia Minor was more independent of Rome both in its culture and its government, general contentment reigned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Early Christianity: A Genetic Study of First-Century Christianity in Relation to Its Religious Environment Of Christian origins must first orient himself in the life of the times, if he would understand the genesis of the new religion as well as the literature it produced. The possibility of obtaining this orientation has greatly increased in recent years. Much help may now be derived from the historical study of religions as a whole, which supplies certain broad principles capable of general application. These results emphasize the necessity of taking account of psychological processes in the rise and development of all religions, and they make clear the importance of social and cultural forces for the determination of religious phenomena. But more immediate help comes from Observing the actual historical situation in which the early Christians lived. Within the last half-century various scholars have devoted themselves to the study of later Judaism, with the result that the historian can now know, for the most part, the actual religious situation which conditioned the lives of the first disciples on Jewish soil.

Download or read book Early Christianity Classic Reprint written by Samuel Benjamin Slack and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Christianity Scholars have understood the relation of the Greek of the New Testament to other forms of the Greek language. Two sources of new light may be mentioned here. One is the study of Comparative Religion; practices which by them selves are obscure, frequently become clear when compared with corresponding practices elsewhere. A simple example is the modern custom of wear ing black, when a friend has been lost by death. When we compare the customs of other times and other nations under similar circumstances, we find that some people wear white clothes or smear themselves with yellow ochre; in some tribes the men disguise themselves as women; or again, after a funeral they enter the house by the back door, or take refuge in a subterraneous cave. The meaning is now apparent. All these steps are taken in order that the ghost of the dead man may be baffled. Thus light is thrown upon primitive ideas about the dead. We see (1) that the activity of each individual is supposed to continue even after death; (2) that this activity is likely to be of a malevolent character; and (3) that the ghost can easily be cheated by the most transparent devices. Incidentally we also see the reason for other practices, such as the bolting and barring of windows and doors after a death has v111.

Is rectified, Plate II., p. 160, is set upright, and several other slight improvements are made. The recent discovery at Delphi of an inscription which is said to prove that Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia in a.d. 52, confirms in a very satisfactory way the chronology advocated in the fourteenth paper of this volume (differing only in one or two very slight details from that adopted in St. Paul tile Travel/er). If Gallio was Proconsul in 52, it can hardly be doubted that the eighteen months of Paul's residence in Corinth extended from Autumn 51 to Spring 53.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Roman Empire The early history of Christianity cannot be uninteresting to those who wish to be counted among the disciples of Jesus. During the first three hundred years of its existence, the tendencies which afterwards marked the great Churches of Christendom, began clearly to display themselves. And even within this short period the complex movement to which we give the name of Christianity, may be treated from several different points of view. It may be regarded as the manifestation of a great moral and religious impulse, and the stress will then fall on its power of quickening the inner forces of character, and transforming the whole standard of feeling and action.

This book was released on 2015-07-18 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In All Ages and in All Countries Women of Early Christianity When the historian has described the rise and fall of empires and dynasties, and has recounted with care and exactness the details of the great political movements that have changed the map of continents, there remains the question: What was the cause of these revolutions in human society - what were the real motives that were operative in the hearts and minds of the persons in the great drama of history that has been displayed? The mere chain of events as they have passed before the eye as it surveys the centuries does not give an explanation of itself. There must be a cause that lies behind these events, and of which they are but the effects. This cause, the true cause of history, lies in the minds and hearts of the men and nations. The student of the past is coming more and more to see that the only hope of making history a science, and not a mere chronicle, is to be found in the clear ascertainment and study of those psychological conditions which have made actions what they were. Foremost among those conditions have been the hopes, aspirations and ideals of men and women. These have been the greatest motive forces in the history of the world.
