This book was released on 2017-12-25 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Antiquities of the Christian Church IN preparing the following summary of the rites and institutions of Ancient Christianity, the author has sought to make it intelligible to the English reader; and, at the same time, to present to the theo logical student a convenient book of reference, and to the scholar and antiquary a guide in his more extended and original investigations. German authors, with a provoking reliance upon the scholarship Of those who may consult their pages, are accustomed to overspread them with original quotations from the dead languages, and refer ences to writers in every tongue, so that even the practised scholar but darkly threads his way through the endless mazes of their works. Much therefore remains for humbler minds in selecting, arranging, translating and condensing, before the researches of these great men can be made available to the mass of the reading public. This task, in the absence Of a better work, has been attempted in the preparation of the following pages; and in the execution of it the author has endea voted to perform the service only Of a translator and compiler.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of the Antiquities of the Church A few words are necessary to explain the extent of the adaption to which the original has been subjected. Guericke, as a Lutheran, maintains the original equality of the Presbyterate and Episcopate, and ascribes to the existing episcopate an origin, though only not coeval with, yet still posterior to the Apostles' times. The English Church in the Preface to her Ordinal asserts, that "it is evident to all men diligently reading the Holy Scriptures, and ancient Authors, that from the Apostles' times there have been these orders of Ministers in Christ's Church: Bishops, Priests, and Deacons." As an office-bearer in that Church, the translator could not gainsay, nor give currency to any gainsaying of, the Church's teaching. In the sections, therefore, which bear upon the Episcopate alterations and omissions have been made. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Compendium of Christian Antiquities: Being a Brief View of the Orders, Rites, Laws and Customs of the Ancient Church in the Early Ages It may be proper to say a few words respecting the particular design and character of the following work, It was suggested to the writer, by some friends whose eminent station in the Church entitled their judgment to great respect, that such a book as this would fill a place not occupied, and supply a want that was ex tensively felt. Of the great work of Bingham - the Orz'gz'nes Ecclesz'asticae - there is no American edition. Besides, it is so voluminous, as not to fall within the means or leisure of a large number of general readers, and perhaps of theological students and clergymen. It was thought it might be doing an acceptable ser vice to such to give them the substance of that work within the compass of a moderate volume.

Download or read book Cathedral Antiquities written by John Britton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cathedral Antiquities: Historical and Descriptive Accounts, With 311 Illustrations, of the Following English Cathedrals As buildings only they amuse and delight almost every spectator; but associate them with the sublimity and benignity of the Christian religion, and with the amazing ostentation and tyranny of ancient monachism, they awaken the most active curiosity and interest. Yet, strange to say, these wonderful edifices have been hitherto much neglected by the discriminating historian and the antiquary. Each may be said to have its local guide; but this is frequently executed by some illiterate or fulsome panegyrist. The person always, or generally attached to one church, is certainly not well qualified to appreciate its beauties and defects - its real and comparative importance. He usually acquires a common-place and technical mode of commenting on it; and too frequently continues and perseveres in old prejudices and established errors. It will be the endeavour of the present author to explain and correct such things and to offer his criticisms with freedom, but with strict regard to liberality and candour.
