Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Christian and the Early Church The following facts should be borne in mind in connection with this book: 1. The division into two parts of ten chapters each is for the purpose of supplying two courses of study, each covering a period of ten weeks. Since, however, there is a natural division into these two periods, each part is in a measure complete in itself, and may be studied independent of the other. 2. These studies are not a commentary on nor an exposition of the books of Acts, but they are a series of lessons based upon the Acts and the Epistles, setting forth those features which were most prominently connected with the early growth of Christianity. 3. These lessons are for busy young people, such as constitute the rank and file of our young people's societies. It is hoped, however, that they may prove helpful also to students, teachers, ministers, and others. 4. The treatment of each topic is suggestive rather than exhaustive. Many questions are necessarily left unanswered and much interesting matter is wholly untouched. 5. The central thought in these studies is growth.

Download or read book Vital Forces of the Early Church Classic Reprint written by Harry Angus Alexander Kennedy and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-17 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Vital Forces of the Early Church It was inevitable that in the late traditions embodied in Acts the power should be associated with miracles and marvels. But any penetrating reader can discern that what really counted in the primitive community was the abnormal endowment for Spiritual situations. So that it is not going beyond the evidence to say that the early Christians soon began to feel their call to victory. From their intimate knowledge of Jesus they believed that this was the Divine purpose. Hence they never hesitated to become fellow-workers with God. The outcome of this equipment in their daily thought and feeling was enthusiasm. So much is plain from the opening chapters of Acts, corroborated by many passages in the Epistles. It is unfortunate that attention has been turned aside from the more general features of the community to such more or less accidental details as the sale of their goods by individuals and the contribution of the proceeds to a common fund. The important feature in the famous story of Ananias and Sapphira is not the terrible penalty represented as falling upon them suddenly, but the high standard of Christian morality which the story presupposes.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 590 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Days of Christianity, Vol. 1 I complete in these volumes the work which has absorbed such leisure as could be spared from many and onerous duties during the last twelve years. My object has been to furnish English readers with a companion, partly historic and partly expository, to the whole of the New Testament. By attention to the minutest details of the original, by availing myself to the best of my power of the results of modern criticism, by trying to concentrate upon the writings of the Apostles and Evangelists such light as may be derived from Jewish, Pagan, or Christian sources, I have endeavoured to fulfil my ordination vow and to show diligence in such studies as help to the knowledge of the Holy Scriptures. The Life of Christ was intended mainly as a commentary upon the Gospels. It was written in such a form as should reproduce whatever I had been able to learn from the close examination of every word which they contain, and should at the same time set forth the living reality of the scenes recorded. In the Life of St. Paul I wished to incorporate the details of the Acts of the Apostles with such biographical incidents as can be derived from the Epistles of St. Paul; and to take.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Christian Church I have received important assistance in composing this book from my pupil, Mr. Henry E. Bourne, who was graduated at the Yale Divinity School the present year. On the basis of manuscript notes of my lectures, at my request, and under my supervision, he undertook to write out a number of chapters, to be afterwards submitted to me for amendment. He more than fulfilled his task, as well in regard to the contents as the form of these chapters; for he incorporated matter of much value, derived from his own reading. I owe, moreover, to the diligence of this promising young scholar the making of the Index. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Saint Paul and the Ante-Nicene Church: An Unwritten Chapter of Church History A word to the few readers into whose hands this volume may come, may not be amiss. It is not a history of the Christian Church through the first two centuries, but simply what it purports to be, a chapter out of that history. Neither does it deal with the many contrasts between the Christianity of the New Testament and that of the following centuries, but only with the type of piety or the Christian character as set forth by St. Paul, and as it presents itself in the next centuries. This contrast in the minds of young and earnest students of 'church history excites surprise, and is a source, oftentimes, of much confusion and perplexity. It is to bring this problem to the full light, describe it, and, if possible, give some explanation as to its causes, that this work was written. The task was also undertaken with the hope that some one better qualified than the present writer might engage in a more thorough and exhaustive investigation of this most interesting phase in the history of the Early Church.

Download or read book Early Christian Writings written by and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1987-04-30 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The writings in this volume cast a glimmer of light upon the emerging traditions and organization of the infant church, during an otherwise little-known period of its development. A selection of letters and small-scale theological treatises from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, several of whom were probably disciples of the Apostles, they provide a first-hand account of the early Church and outline a form of early Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism. Included here are the first Epistle of Bishop Clement of Rome, an impassioned plea for harmony; The Epistle of Polycarp; The Epistle of Barnabas; The Didache; and the Seven Epistles written by Ignatius of Antioch - among them his moving appeal to the Romans that they grant him a martyr's death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Conversion: Showing How Children and Young People Can Be Led to Jesus and Prepared for Church Membership I AM sure that the Church of Jesus Christ is sadly neglecting the children. It is true that we have our Sun day schools and other organizations for the training of children in the knowledge of the Word and God, but there is not that definite work for their conversion that there should be. N 0 other form of Christian effort brings such imme diate, such large, and such lasting results as work for the conversion of children. It has many advantages over other forms of work. First of all, children are more easily led to Christ than adults. In the second place, they are more likely to stay converted than those apparently con verted at a later period of life. They also make better Christians, as they do not have so much to unlearn as those who have grown Old in sin. They have more years of service before them. A man converted at sixty is a a soul saved plus ten years of service; a child saved at ten is a soul saved plus sixty years of service.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Man of Uz: Lessons for Young Christians From the Life of an Ancient Saint It is, beyond all doubt, a gem of rarest beauty, and it does not concern us greatly to know who digged it from the mine of truth, who gave to it such literary polish or who fixed it in its sacred setting in the word of God. We take the book up simply as the book takes up its hero, without a word about his genealogy or race or time or place in history; simply, There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job, and then proceeding straight away to tell us of his character and his experience. His character is very briefly but sufficiently de scribed in a single sentence He feared God and eschewed evil. This is the root of the matter.

More than that, my aim is not to repeat the little that we know about the youth of Jesus; it is to seek for that which has not been told us. The early Christians, surprised at the sobriety of the gospel narratives, tried to make up for the silence of history, and composed the apocryphal Gospels of the Infancy. I am attempting a study of this sort, but I have no intention of writing a work of pure imagination, like that of the authors of the antique legends. I would fain say what must have been the life of Jesus until his thirtieth year, by deducing from known facts some facts unknown.
