Book Constitutions of the Holy Apostles

Download or read book Constitutions of the Holy Apostles written by Anonymous and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-11 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Constitutions of the Holy Apostles, or The Apostolic Constitutions, are an ancient work compiled between 375 and 390 A.D. dealing with all manner of Christian life and practice, both for clergy and laity. Its contents are divided into eight books, the first six of which are exceedingly ancient in their source, and the eighth is the least ancient. While this work is not written by Clement of Rome, whose name is affixed to it, it is an invaluable work that allows the modern Christian or scholar to peer back through time to see how a Christian ought to have lived. The implications of that are significant, considering Christians ought to desire true and authentic doctrine, and the earlier the testimony of that doctrine, it is surely closest to the original teaching.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Apostolic Constitutions (to give it its full title, the Constitutions of the Holy Apostles according to Clement) is a vast compilation, in Greek, in eight books, the longest and most complex of what are generally known as the 'church orders'. 'The Church Order was a literary form characteristic of the early centuries... It would contain rules for Christian life and church discipline and liturgical forms, often attributed to the twelve apostles. From the fourth century onwards such Orders were often gathered into collections. Sometimes they were drastically rewritten, or cast into the form of canons, and even those that were not rewritten were liable to alteration to fit the customs of the time and place of writing.' The last part of book VIII of AC is cast in the form of canons, the eighty-five Apostolic Canons (ACA)."--

Book Constitutions of the Holy Apostles

Download or read book Constitutions of the Holy Apostles written by Alexander Roberts and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-06-09 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostolic Constitutions contains eight treatises on Early Christian discipline, worship, and doctrine, intended to serve as a manual of guidance for the clergy, and to some extent for the laity. It purports to be the work of the Twelve Apostles, whose instructions, whether given by them as individuals or as a body. The summarized structure of the Apostolic Constitutions: Books 1 to 6 are a free re-wording of the Didascalia Apostolorum Book 7 is partially based on the Didache. Chapters 33-45 of book 7 contain prayers similar to Jewish prayers used in synagogues. Book 8 is composed as follows: chapters 1-2 contain an extract of a lost treatise on the charismata chapters 3-46 are based on the Apostolic Tradition, greatly expanded, along with other material chapter 47 is known as the Canons of the Apostles and it had a wider circulation than the rest of the book. The best manuscript has Arian leanings, which are not found in other manuscripts because this material would have been censured as heretical. The Apostolic Constitutions is an important source for the history of the liturgy in the Antiochene rite. It contains an outline of an anaphora in book two, a full anaphora in book seven (which is an expansion of the one found in the Didache), and the complete Liturgy of the eighth book of the Apostolic Constitutions, which is the oldest known form that can be described as a complete divine liturgy.

Excerpt: ...he has given us by his Holy Spirit, "These signs shall appearf in those who believe. They shall cast out devils in my name, they shall speak with tongues, they shall take up serpents in their " Arab. fa, et idem. 1' Arab. Bali, shall follow. hands, and if they shall drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay their hands on those who are sick, and they shall recover." And these are the gifts which were first given to us the Apostles, when we were ordained to preach the Gospel to every creature, that we should perform them on those who believe by us. They are not profitable to us who do them, but they are to you. We are of God: but they are profitable for you who believe by us: that those whom the word has not persuaded, the power and miracles may gain. For signs are not for us who believe, but they are for the unbelievers of the Jews, and of the Greeks. For neither is it an advantage to us if we have cast out devils, but the gain is to those who have been cleansed by our effectual working in Christ Jesus our Lord. According as our God teacheth us in (another) place, making known the thing to us, saying, "Rejoice not in this, that the spirits are subject unto you, but rejoice in this, that your name is written in Heaven." For truly it is not on account of the power of casting out Devils that our names are written in Heaven, but our will and diligence is by the help of him, according as it is manifest. But there is no necessity now that every believer should cast out Devils or raise the dead, or speak with tongues. But he who shall be worthy of these graces shall be altogether worthy, without the advantageous cause for the salvation of unbelievers, who may profit by it. For since they would...
