Download or read book Making Christian History written by Michael Hollerich and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2021-06-22 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Known as the “Father of Church History,” Eusebius was bishop of Caesarea in Palestine and the leading Christian scholar of his day. His Ecclesiastical History is an irreplaceable chronicle of Christianity’s early development, from its origin in Judaism, through two and a half centuries of illegality and occasional persecution, to a new era of tolerance and favor under the Emperor Constantine. In this book, Michael J. Hollerich recovers the reception of this text across time. As he shows, Eusebius adapted classical historical writing for a new “nation,” the Christians, with a distinctive theo-political vision. Eusebius’s text left its mark on Christian historical writing from late antiquity to the early modern period—across linguistic, cultural, political, and religious boundaries—until its encounter with modern historicism and postmodernism. Making Christian History demonstrates Eusebius’s vast influence throughout history, not simply in shaping Christian culture but also when falling under scrutiny as that culture has been reevaluated, reformed, and resisted over the past 1,700 years.

Download or read book The Faith of the Christian Church written by Gustaf Aulen and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2002-04-26 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paperback reprinting of Gustaf Aulen's great textbook of systematic theology should be a welcome delight to the Christian theologian. The reputation if this second English edition, based on the fifth and most extensively revised Swedish edition, has steadily increased over the years as a clear and sound guide to the substance of the Christian faith. Besides treating the whole compass of traditional themes associated with the doctrines of God, Christ, and the church, Aulen in this edition has provided new chapters on the Communion of Saints and on the relation between scripture and tradition. The chapters on the biblical validation of the content of faith, the doctrine of the Lord's Supper, and the unity of the church and the disunity of the churches were rewritten. The statements on the relation between the two testaments, creation and redemption, natural law, the resurrection, the validity of infant baptism, and eschatology were substantially revised. Aulen's keen analysis and clear presentation of the fundamental motifs of the Christian faith, his sharp demarcation of these motifs from their aberrations in the history of Christian thought and in contemporary theology, and especially his profound sense of the oneness of the church's faith have endeared this book to students, theologians, clergymen, and hosts of intelligent and inquiring laity of every denomination.
Download or read book The Early Christian Church written by John Gordon Davies and published by London, Weidenfeld. This book was released on 1965 with total page 364 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of Christianity from its origins through its first five centuries is a complex story, for during this period it grew from a small and obscure sect to become the major religious force within the Roman Empire. It was during these early years that the Church established the New Testament and came to agreement on such questions as the Resurrection and the Trinity. Creeds, liturgies, theology, the moral and aesthetic fabric of Christian living were all formed in this period. The predominant feature of this book is its simplicity of organization. After setting forth the context of the Jewish community into which Jesus was born, Davies treats each of the five centuries in a separate chapter divided into background, sources, expansion and development, beliefs, worship, and social life. Thus the reader can easily follow any single topic through the whole period or get a reliable view of them all within any one century.--From publisher description.
