Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "A History of the Moravian Church" written by J. E. (John Edwin) Hutton is a definitive and scholarly exploration of the Moravian Church's rich and fascinating history. This work demonstrates Hutton's commitment to the study of religious movements and their impact on society. Hutton's book provides a complete history of the Moravian Church, officially known as the Unitas Fratrum, from its beginnings in the 15th century to its ongoing influence in the twentieth. The Moravian Church has a distinct history that may be traced back to Jan Hus, a reformer who challenged religious customs of his day. In "A History of the Moravian Church," Hutton methodically researches and tells the tale of this extraordinary Christian denomination's development, beliefs, and customs. He investigates their concentration on missionary work, their particular community life, and their substantial contributions to the history of Protestantism in general. One of Hutton's enduring qualities is his ability to make difficult historical and theological issues understandable to readers. He offers insightful insights into the Moravian Church's theology, spirituality, and impact on the larger Christian world.

This book was released on 2016-11-25 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: J. E. Hutton's superb history follows the Moravian Church from its earliest years as one of the earliest founding Protestant denominations, over the centuries as it developed into a mature Christian fellowship. Arranged chronologically, Hutton's history takes us first to the dawn of the Protestant Reformation in the fifteenth century. He details the fraught religious and political situation during the decades prior to the eventual split with the dominant Catholic order. We are introduced to the pivotal figures of the era, such as Peter of Chelci, Gregory the Patriarch and Luke of Prague. By harnessing popular sentiment and using new technology such as the printing presses to spread the new, Protestant doctrine, the split of Christianity occurred. The political climate of Prague, Bohemia and the surrounding areas in which the Moravians lived is much-detailed. The pure, simple observance of Christ and his virtues united the Moravian movement - the essential devotion to Jesus and his gospel appealed to Christians, who yearned for community under a common banner and felt distant from the old order. Poland in particular proved a bastion for the Moravian brethren, many of whom traveled and carried their traditions abroad. Following the years of conflict and Reformation, the Moravians distinguished themselves as a highly competent Christian group. Members of the Moravian church were among the first missionaries to venture to the New World, which was the scene of chaotic conflicts between the rival colonial powers. The simple adherence to the word of Christ runs a common thread through the political and moral dramas, as the Moravians grappled with issues such as slavery and war, helping slaves in kindness. Hutton's chronicle is thorough, intensively explaining the important aspects underpinning the Moravians. The development of their customs; how they congregated; the aesthetic appearance of their churches; and their establishment of parochial education are all detailed, giving the reader a vivid and valuable history.

Conclusion--Table of the Episcopate, &c. Having thus brought to view a portraiture of a few of the early and very efficient heads and leaders of the Unita Fratrii, not, however, as a boastful show of their prowess, nor even as a guarantee for the doings of their successors; for, however true it be, that the Moravian Church of the present, is an active principle, and a doctrinal succession of its fathers, yet we cannot deny the difference of the practical minutice of this, compared with that "day of small things." Simplicity of word and deed, and even faith itself, have passed into and through the refining fire of the march of improvement; and "the spirit of the age," offers them in a cruder form. That there is a deterioration of the manners, customs, profession, and practical illustration of the religion of our Saviour, is beyond controversy. And why? Are we any better than they? Are we as powerful and successful? Certainly not. But we refine too much of God's holy Word, make it enigmatical; and the plain, simplified effusions of our Saviour's mind are mystified in figures of speech. He said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, and shall say to this sycamore tree, Be thou removed, and cast into the sea, it shall be done." And he proved it when by an act of the same faith, he, at the marriage at Cana, turned water into wine. It was upon this surety--divesting themselves entirely of self-dependence--that our fathers lived and moved and had their ministerial being. And but for this, all the sacrifices in the world could not have wrought the successful issues to the work of their hands. They were plain simple-hearted men, unsophisticated, ungarnished of worldly wisdom, having only "a single eye to the glory of...

This book was released on 2001 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moravian Church became widely known and respected for its 'missions to the heathen', achieving a high reputation among the pious and with government. This study looks at its connections with evangelical networks, and its indirect role in the great debate on the slave trade, as well as the operations of Moravian missionaries in the field. The Moravians' decision, in 1764, to expand and publicise their foreign missions (largely to the British colonies) coincided with the development of relations between their British leaders and evangelicals from various denominations, among whom were those who went on to found, in the last decade of the century, the major societies which were the cornerstone of the modern missionary movement. These men were profoundly influenced by the Moravian Church's apparent progress, unique among Protestants, in making 'real' Christians among the heathen overseas, and this led to the adoption of Moravian missionary methods by the new societies. Dr Mason draws on a wide range of primary documents to demonstrate the influences of the Moravian Church on the missionary awakening in England and its contribution to the movement.

Book excerpt: The Moravian Church, which was founded during the Bohemian Reformation during the 1500's, was one of the earliest Protestant denominations. In this excellent book, J. E. Hutton chronicles the history of that church as it developed from its infancy as an organization into a mature Christian fellowship. Arranged in chronological order, Hutton's history starts at the dawn of the Protestant Reformation. Those years, which were also during the time of the great Lutheran reformer, Martin Luther, were fraught with religious and political challenges. As Hutton chronicles, after decades of religious disputing the Moravian Church eventually split from the Roman Church. Important figures of that time, as introduced in this book, include Gregory the Patriarch, Luke of Prague, and Peter of Chelci. One of the driving forces behind the climactic changes associated with the Protestant Reformation and the eventual split from the Roman Church was the then-new technology of the printing press. This historical gem of a book details the political climate of Bohemia, Prague, and the surrounding areas that made up Moravia during that time in a fascinating and comprehensive way. Hallmarks of the Moravian movement included a pure, simple belief in Jesus and all of His virtues coupled with a deep devotion to both Christ and the gospel message. These characteristics, which appealed to other Christians who felt disconnected or distant from the Roman Church, resulted in continued growth for the Moravian Church. Poland in particular proved a haven and fertile missionary field for the Moravians, many of whom traveled, carrying and teaching the gospel wherever they went. Moravian missionaries were some of the first to venture to the New World. In this new land, their simple adherence to the Word of Christ ran as a common thread through the political, moral, and religious conflicts between rival colonial powers. Called to grapple with such issues as slavery and war, they stayed true to the principles that had shaped them as Christians and a denomination. J. E. Hutton's chronicle of the Moravian church history is a thorough one. Readers will come to understand the important Bible truths underpinning Moravian doctrines. The development of Moravian Church customs, how they congregated, the distinctive architecture of their churches, and their establishment of schools is also richly described, providing a vivid and valuable history of this early and deeply committed Protestant sect.
