Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dynamic of Christianity: A Study of the Vital and Permanent Element in the Christian Religion It may be answered that when Macaulay wrote his Edinburgh Review essay on Von Rauke's History of the Popes, from which I have quoted, a new era had been ushered in by Coleridge and Maurice, torch-bearers of the higher and richer thought of Germany. This is true, and with them should be num bered Thomas Erskine; while Wordsworth's parallel in uence in the realm Of poetry, and Carlyle's in the field of general literature, but especially of the ethical interpretation of history, is not to be overlooked. Maurice, the near spiritual kinsman of both Coleridge and Erskine, had but just published his King dom of Christ, it appeared in 1838.

Download or read book The Transient and Permanent in Christianity Classic Reprint written by Theodore Parker and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transient and Permanent in Christianity A number of the earliest and the latest, as well as several of the most significant, of Theodore Parker's sermons have been brought together in this volume. His South Boston sermon, which first brought him into prominence as an expounder of the new theology, gives title to the volume. It is followed by his epoch-making discourse on Jesus, at "the Great and Thursday Lecture." The earliest written of his sermons to secure the honor of print, that on the relations of the Bible to the soul, has never before been reprinted from the pages of the obscure magazine in which it appeared. Following these sermons are a number which were first printed in "The Dial," the famous organ of transcendentalism. Emerson said of them, that "some numbers had an instant exhausting sale, because of papers by Theodore Parker." Among these were the sermons on "The Pharisees," and "Primitive Christianity." His earliest critical article is his "Thoughts on Theology," in review of Dorner's book on Christ. His sermon on goodness also occupied a conspicuous place in his controversy with the religious leaders of his day. Special occasions gave emphasis to his discourses on the use of Sunday, and the real meaning of revivals. The revival sermons, if severe, are sane and profoundly ethical. His first ordination sermon after that at South Boston gave opportunity for a more explicit interpretation of his later and wiser theology.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Transient and the Permanent in Christianity There is no need of showing how all such notions have changed, or how impossible it has become to-day to hold fast to such a primitive conception of the universe. Religion brings grave injury to itself if it clings to such a View. The consequence has often been that religious faith and scientific investigation and its results have come into direct antagonism to each other.

Download or read book History of Christianity written by Paul Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.
Download or read book Plain Theology for Plain People written by Charles Octavius Boothe and published by Lexham Press. This book was released on 2017-09-20 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyday Christians need practical and accessible theology. In this handbook first published in 1890, Charles Octavius Boothe simply and beautifully lays out the basics of theology for common people. "Before the charge 'know thyself,'" Boothe wrote, "ought to come the far greater charge, 'know thy God.'" He brought the heights of academic theology down to everyday language, and he helps us do the same today. Plain Theology for Plain People shows that evangelicalism needs the wisdom and experience of African American Christians. Walter R. Strickland II reintroduces this forgotten masterpiece for today. Lexham Classics are beautifully typeset new editions of classic works. Each book has been carefully transcribed from the original texts, ensuring an accurate representation of the writing as the author intended it to be read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Ages The substance of this book, in all of its essen tial features, was carefully read by the late Dr. A. J. Gordon, in manuscript. He urged its immediate publication, and consented to write an introduction to its pages. Before the closing chapters were completed he had passed away from his useful life. On this account his name has no connection with the book, further than this grateful acknowledgment of his encouraging words. The learned Dr. Harnack, in his History of Dogma, when speaking of the Christian's faith in God as the father of Jesus Christ, makes the following comprehensive statement: So far as this God is believed to be the omnipotent Lord of heaven and earth, the Christian religion includes a knowledge of God, of the world, and of the purpose of created things. These three spheres, then, are the proper objects of our contemplation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Christianity I am often told by my friends that Christianity is nothing but a set of statements about supernatural history which no one now can honestly believe. When I deny this, they ask me what Christianity is; and, if I try to tell them, they reply - That is not Christianity at all but certain beliefs which were held by men before Christ was born and may be held by them after his name has been forgotten. But, all the while, I am convinced that there is a body of belief, not concerned with supernatural history, which is Christian; that it began with the teaching of Christ, as Platonism began with the teaching of Plato, that it has been enlarged and enriched with the experience of nineteen centuries and yet has remained itself. I am not anxious to prove the originality of Christ in detail. It may be that he said no single thing which had not been said before him. The originality of a great teacher consists, not in particular sayings or doings, but in his power of giving life to an idea so that it continues to live in other men's minds and is enriched with other men's thought. The greatest ideas are not those which remain peculiar to their authors. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

He earnestly desires that others who have not had an experience like his and especially that those of his acquaintance who do not look to Christ as their Saviour, would without prejudice of any sort read anew and study thoroughly the record of his life and teachings as found in the four gospels and see if his claims to be the Son of God are not fully justified by what is said there.

Download or read book A Sketch of the Rise and Progress of Christianity Classic Reprint written by Robert William Mackay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Rise and Progress of Christianity The treatment of Christian Theology has hitherto oscillated between church authority and individual impulse and feeling. Reason has throughout played only an incidental and secondary part. The early misapplication of it in the endeavour to de termine, by way of speculative inference, the essential nature of the Deity, could end only in discomfiture. The Trinitarian controversy of the first centuries was a hopeless entanglement, in which the mind, driven from point to point by its own ingenuity, eventually registered the utterances of its torture and despair in the unintelligible jargon of the Athanasian Creed. Reawakening after a long interval, it returned once more to grapple with the Creed or established articles of dogma which had obtained undisputed possession of the Chris tian mind during the middle ages. But this new attempt turned out as unfortunately as the former one 3 and, so far from establishing a satisfactory alliance between faith and reason, produced their formal, and, it would seem, final separation. The only remaining alternative was that of an unmitigated dogmatism, or, if individual judgment were appealed to, an appeal strictly limited to Scripture and to feeling. A mystical coalition between the received dogma and the internal senti ments was still possible; if a man could not prove the truth of his position, he might at least feel himself to be in the right; the dogma might be arbitrarily limited to meet the feeling, or the feeling enlarged to comprehend the mysteries of the dogma. This was the ground taken by the early reformers, the medi. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
