Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Life in the Primitive Church This difficulty will be most felt in questions of literary history. I have been compelled to introduce them; for only so could the sources be systematically valued. On the other hand it would have disordered my work, if I had yielded to the temptation to include a small introduction to the New Testament. The discussion of single problems which I handle in a way special to myself may be possible elsewhere. I trust that the few supplementary notes, especially the last, will be found useful, and the detailed indexes helpful in using the book.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Amusements and the Christian Life: In the Primitive Church and in Our Day IN preparing the following discussion, my aim has been to illustrate great principles by the light of early history for practical effect. All the ma terial used is old; much of it is common to his torians and antiquarians, and yet so scattered through and hidden in large works not in general circulation as to be practically inaccessible and un known.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Primitive Church and the See of Peter Of course we desire to convert all men - especially our own countrymen, as loving them best - to the Catholic Religion. Could it be otherwise? We believe the Catholic religion to be the one only true religion, founded by Jesus Christ upon the Rock. We should fail, then, in love for God did we not strive to extend His Kingdom, which is His Church upon earth; and in love for our neighbour, did we not endeavour to persuade him to become one of God's liegemen and a sharer with us in the Divine life of the Faith and of the Sacraments. It is no matter of doubt or of indifference that is at stake, but absolutely the most vital, the most personal, the eternal interest of man. But any kind of conversion will not do. The conversion must be real, genuine, and based on solid grounds. That is to say, it must rest not only upon conviction, but upon a right conviction, a conviction rooted in the right fundamental principle.

Download or read book Early Christian Lives written by Athanasius and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1998-01-29 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written between the mid-fourth and late sixth centuries to commemorate and glorify the achievements of early Christian saints, these six biographies depict men who devoted themselves to solitude, poverty and prayer. Athanasius records Antony's extreme seclusion in the Egyptian desert, despite temptation by the devil and visits from his followers. Jerome also shows those who fled persecution or withdrew from society to pursue lives of chastity and asceticism in his accounts of Paul of Thebes, Hilarion and Malchus. In his Life of Martin, Sulpicius Severus describes the achievements of a man who combined the roles of monk, bishop and missionary, while Gregory the Great tells of Benedict, whose Rule became the template for monastic life. Full of vivid incidents and astonishing miracles, these Lives have provided inspiration as models for centuries of Christian worship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian Life in the Primitive Church For a long time theologians were specially attracted by the great thoughts which are connected with the objective content of Christian truth. Much earnest labour was expended upon dogma in the way both of working it out speculatively and investigating it historically. Within recent years, however, more attention has come to be paid to the subjective element in religion, viz., personal Christianity, religious psychology, and the various forms which religion assumes in the individual, in different ages or classes, and in particular peoples and periods. The need for an account of popular religious thought and feeling (Volkskunde) has been almost generally recognized. As a division of practical theology, it is concerned in the first instance with the present, but it will certainly welcome the assistance of history. The present study is an attempt to transfer the method to primitive Christianity. To this end we choose the domain where, in our opinion, Christianity can adduce the best evidence of power - the domain of morals. At the present time theology shows a strong disposition to look for the special power of Christianity in a quite different quarter.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Aspects of Primitive Church Life For the purpose of these addresses it must suffice to look at certain aspects of primitive Church history In their general outline. The field is very wide, and we can only traverse parts of it: and even In regard to the subjects on which we can dwell, a full discussion of many details would be out of place, would more than fill up the time at our disposal. Our aim must be to form or to recover such Ideas of the Church life of those distant "first centuries" as may afterwards admit of further illustrations, and may not require to be cast aside as determined by an erroneous standpoint. Our first question may be stated thus: What was the primitive Church like as a community? About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Ancient Christianity Exemplified in the Private, Domestic, Social, and Civil Life of the Primitive Christians, and in the Original Institutions, Offices, Ordinances, and Rites of the Church A faithful record of the doctrines, the institutions and rituals of the Church, is its true history. These, and not merely or chiefly its conflicts, its trials, and its triumphs, disclose the true genius and Spirit of Christianity. But the study of these two great branches of Christian Archaeology, the history Of its ceremonials and of its doctrines, indispensable to all who would rightly read the history of the ancient church, has been almost totally neglected in this country. Neither of them, we believe, is made a separate and distinct subject of study in any of our theological seminaries; nor has a single course of lectures on either of these topics, so far as the writer is informed, ever been delivered by any public lec turer or professor of ecclesiastical history in our land.

Download or read book The Life of Christians written by Chr Ludw Couard and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of Christians: During the First Three Centuries of the Church; A Series of Sermons on Church History IN giving to the English public the following dis courses on the History of the Primitive Church, I have been actuated neither by the eloquence of the language, nor the novelty of the views contained in them, but simply by the lively and practical piety which they display, and the necessity which seems to have arisen in these days for exhortations of the kind. At a time when German theology has assumed so questionable a character, and has become so justly suspected in a country Where religious speculation has always been confined within modest bounds, I should have hesitated at introducing a new work from thence, unless I were fully convinced of the general scriptural integrity of its views. In this case, however, the difficulty has been entirely removed by the fact, that these Sermons have for their groundwork Dr Neander's celebrated History of the Early Church, a work known in this country through the admirable version of it by the Reverend Henry Rose, whose preface bears a handsome testimony to its general orthodoxy, and which was pronounced by his brother, the late Christian advocate, to be the most truly Christian history of the church ever yet published. I trust this will be a guarantee sufficient for the general rectitude of the views here taken, and shall therefore.

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.

His head, and gravely remarked, I think that pew will be vacated, -i have no idea the doctor will stand such a shot as you gave him this morning. This was a new experience for me, and not very pleasant. The aged physician was wealthy, and a very popular man in the com munity. He had but recently retired from his practice in the large city, and had come to spend the evening of his life with us. He was social and generous, and we felt we were favored in securing him as a church attendant and supporter. How unfortunate that anything should be said to displease him, and perhaps drive him away. From the service Of the sanctuary] What could I do but leave it with God? I was His servant, and had spoken His message, and felt convinced that 'he would take care of me and the church, and the truth. But what was the result? The next morning the old doctor was seen driving up to the parsonage. The minister was not at home, but his wife was, and she warmly welcomed the visitor into the parlor. Great was her surprise when he exclaimed somewhat abruptly, I like your husband. He is' a courageous young man, who is not afraid to speak the truth, even if it does convict some old sinner like me. I have brought $10 as a contribution to the Bible Society, the claims of which were presented in our church 'a week ago yesterday, and in addition to this I beg you to accept this 35 for yourself, as a token of my esteem for your husband as my pastor.
