Download or read book Arianism Roman Heresy and Barbarian Creed written by Guido M. Berndt and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to attempt a comprehensive overview of the evolution of the 'Arian' churches in the Roman world of Late Antiquity and their political importance in the late Roman kingdoms of the 5th-6th centuries, ruled by barbarian warrior elites. Bringing together researchers from the disciplines of theology, history and archaeology, and providing an extensive bibliography, it constitutes a breakthrough in a field largely neglected in historical studies. A polemical term coined by the Orthodox Church (the side that prevailed in the Trinitarian disputes of the 4th century C.E.) for its opponents in theology as well as in ecclesiastical politics, Arianism has often been seen as too complicated to understand outside the group of theological specialists dealing with it and has therefore sometimes been ignored in historical studies. The studies here offer an introduction to the subject, grounded in the historical context, then examine the adoption of Arian Christianity among the Gothic contingents of the Roman army, and its subsequent diffusion in the barbarian kingdoms of the late Roman world.

Download or read book The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God written by Richard Patrick Crosland Hanson and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 966 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1988, The Search for the Christian Doctrine of God is still considered by many scholars to be the finest work on the Arian Controversy. Examining scholarly works on the Controversy and many original texts, Professor Hanson, provides a clear understanding of how the traditional and historic doctrine of God as the Holy Trinity reached its most mature and enduring form. The author is not primarily concerned to defend the orthodox position itself, but rather to discover and examine the formation of that orthodoxy. The history of the events - the Councils, the interventions of the Emperor, the rivalries of sees, the behaviour of bishops, the varying fortunes of the different schools of thought and their leaders - is interwoven with the progression of thought and doctrine during the sixty years of the Controversy. Professor Hanson sees the problem of the reconciliation of two concepts which were both part of the very fabric of Christianity - monotheism and the worship of Jesus Christ as divine.

Download or read book The Arians of the Fourth Century written by Blessed John Henry Newman and published by Aeterna Press. This book was released on with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The following work was written in the early part of last year, for Messrs. Rivington’s “Theological Library;” but as it seemed, on its completion, little fitted for the objects with which that publication has been undertaken, it makes its appearance in an independent form. Some apology is due to the reader for the length of the introductory chapter, but it was intended as the opening of a more extensive undertaking. It may be added, to prevent mistake, that the theological works cited at the foot of the page, are referred to for the facts, rather than the opinions they contain; though some of them, as the “Defensio Fidei Nicenæ,” evince gifts, moral and intellectual, of so high a cast, as to render it a privilege to be allowed to sit at the feet of their authors, and to receive the words, which they have been, as it were, commissioned to deliver.

Download or read book The Arian Christian Bible written by Matthew Mark and Luke and published by Metaphysical Institute. This book was released on 2010-05-05 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Arian Christian Bible reflects the beliefs of Arian Christians. (The word 'Arian' should not be confused with the with the word 'Aryan' or racist 'Aryan' beliefs) Arian Christians believe that Jesus' highest teachings are contained in the New Testament in Jesus' own words as reported by the Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke (The Arian Christian Bible). The namesake of these beliefs, St Arius of Alexandria, rejected the politically generated divinity of Jesus that was imposed by the Council of Nicaea, which was convened at the behest of Roman Emperor Constantine I in 325 AD. The purpose of this Council was to bring the structure of the Christian Church into conformity with the structure of the Roman Empire as the State Religion, that is; one religion, the Catholic (universal) Church; one theology, the Holy Trinity; and one religious leader, the Pope, and to form a basis for the suppression of other brands of Christianity. Arius opposed these measures. The Arian Christian Bible is a 'must have' for all true Christians.
Download or read book The Arian Christian Doctrines written by Charles D Levy MM and published by Metaphysical Institute. This book was released on 2010-08-30 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The word 'Arian' should not be confused with the word 'Aryan', which is derived from Hindu philosophy and was inaccurately used by the German, NAZI party as the basis for its racist and anti-Semitic philosophy. The word 'Arian' was derived from the name of Saint Arius of Alexandria (in Egypt). Although the word was derived from the name of St Arius, the word 'Arian" was coined by the Catholic Church as a pejorative name designed to define the heresy of those Christians who did not accept the Roman Catholic concept of the Holy Trinity and the divinity of Jesus. The term was used against those who would think for themselves. This book is an attempt to right the record and bring back to Christianity the broad range of views that prevailed before the Romans co-opted the Christian Religion and turned it into a political arm of the Roman Empire. How does a person know if he or she is an Arian Christian or not? If you have ever asked the question, "What would Jesus do?" you are probably an Arian Christian. Why would a person ask what Jesus would do as a personal guide, if they believed that Jesus was God? Who would ask what God would do as a resolution to a personal problem when ordinary people do not have the powers of gods? Are you an Atheist or a person with secular views who accepts the Golden Rule of 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you' as a moral guide? Do you accept Jesus' moral, philosophical, guidelines without all the 'hocus pocus'? Do you consider yourself 'not' a Christian because others say that you are not? It shouldn't matter, because it did not matter to Jesus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the psalms are a microcosm of the Old Testament, so the Expositions of the Psalms can be seen as a microcosm of Augustinian thought. In the Book of Psalms are to be found the history of the people of Israel, the theology and spirituality of the Old Covenant, and a treasury of human experience expressed in prayer and poetry. So too does the work of expounding the psalms recapitulate and focus the experiences of Augustine's personal life, his theological reflections and his pastoral concerns as Bishop of Hippo."--Publisher's website.
