Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Christian Church During the First Ten Centuries: From Its Foundation to the Full Establishment of the Holy Roman Empire and the Papal Power The student of civil history feels at every step the need of a more special knowledge of ecclesiastical affairs; and the common interest of all Christians in the rise and various developments of the Church, in all its branches and its aberrations too, is enhanced by a natural curiosity to trace the origin of Opinions, usages, and controversies, the effects of which are deeply and even passionately felt in every succeeding age. In the effort to gratify that interest and curiosity, the author has studied to preserve impartiality; but he has not attempted to write the history of the Christian Church in a tone Of unconcern for either Christianity or the Church. The historian who w'ould do justice to the men whose actions he records, whether in civil or ecclesiastical polity, must place himself in sympathy with each age that comes under review; and the historian of the Church must have such sympathy - though not in the spirit of a partisan - With the thoughts and feelings, both of the great teachers and leaders and of the whole body of Christians, and even of the several parties, in every age of the Church. On these principles, supreme importance belongs to the first beginnings (the origines) of the Church, and to the progress of its universal development through the time when it especially deserved the name; when it was the church, and not yet a number of churches, divided by their respective nationalities, and severed by hostile feelings and irreconcilable Opinions. This comparative unity, even amidst the growing strife of sects, was preserved during the first three centuries by the unexpended spirit of primitive zeal and purity, and was enforced by the constraining power of persecution. These three centuries, therefore, form our first age, that of the Primitive and Persecuted Church: during which we trace the rise and progress of the Church, till the little leaven leavens the Roman Empire and works beyond its bounds; the settlement of its constitution; the development of its doctrines and usages and the beginnings of most of the controversies which have agitated it ever since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Louis Duchesne's Early History of the Christian Church is a classic and seminal account covering the years from the founding of Christianity to the end of the fifth century. This is the first volume of a three piece work regarded as one of the most important records of the beginning of the Christian Church, serving as a standard introduction to the Church's history for many years. This volume spans the time from the founding of the Church to the end of the third century. Duchesne covers the Church's dealings with the Roman Empire and its various emperors, the relationship between Judaism and Christianity, the Paschal Controversy and the spread of the religion to the east and into Africa. Condemned by the Church in 1912 for being too "Modernist", Duchesne's work was reinstalled into Church history by Pope Paul VI in 1966 and remains one of the preeminent sources for early Christian scholars. Orthodox Catholic historian Warren H. Carroll, the late founder of Christendom College, lauded the work as "excellent and thorough". Louis Duchesne (1843-1922) was a French church historian of first rank. He was ordained to the priesthood in 1887 and completed his theological studies at Rome. His interest in the history of the early church was intensified by his travels in Greece and Asia Minor. He became a professor of ecclesiastical history at the Institut Catholique in Paris in 1885. In 1895 he was nominated director of the French School at Rome, a position he held until his death. He was elected a member of the French Academy in 1910. He died in 1922, in Rome, and is buried in the cemetery of Saint-Servan.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the fourth century the history of world was dramatically altered. In 312, just before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge that saw him crowned emperor, Constantine looked up to the sun and saw a cross of light above it, along with this were Greek words "in this sign, conquer". He subsequently commanded his troops to pain their shields with Christian symbols before marching to war and victory. A year later and Christianity was granted a level of tolerance that hitherto had been unprecedented. The rise of this three-hundred-year-old religion was further cemented in the year 380 when the Edict of Thessalonica declared Christianity the state religion. Gone were Jupiter, Mars and Venus and the old roman gods that had survived for over a thousand years, their temples were now converted for the worship of the single, Christian God. Duchesne's history of the fourth century uncovers how Christianity changed from being the marginal, and often persecuted, religion of the third century to a religion that grew in confidence and power and eventually became the sole religion of the Roman Empire. Louis Duchesne's Early History of the Christian Church is a classic and seminal account covering the years from the founding of Christianity to the end of the fifth century. This is the second volume of a three-piece work regarded as one of the most important records of the beginning of the Christian Church, serving as a standard introduction to the Church's history for many years.
