Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Roman Empire It is not possible to discuss so intricate a subject without assuming some knowledge on the part of the reader. But it is believed that a very elemen tary acquaintance with the familiar facts of general history will make this little work intelligible. For the sake of those who may desire some introduction to the early Christian writers, but may only have access to translations such as are contained in the ante-nicene Christian Library, the chief works are cited by their English titles. In the Appendices an attempt has been made to supply such information concerning the principal persons whose names appear in these pages, as will enable the reader to refer them without difficulty to their proper date, locality, and school of thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christianity: From Its Promulgation, to Its Legal Establishment in the Roman Empire IN the beginning God created the heavens and the earth; this great truth, familiar to us from childhood, is solemnly proclaimed as the first lesson taught to us by Revelation, and is at the same time the final con elusion to which we are led by our investigations of Natural Religion. Those who have been born and educated in a Christian land, whose fathers have declared to them the wondrous works which God wrought in their days, and in the old time before them, cannot easily comprehend the necessity for the express revelation of a fact which, from constant repe tition, has become as positive to them as the conscious ness of their own existence; they have heard that, in other times, and in distant lands, the knowledge of a Creator has become indistinct and obscure, but they can scarcely comprehend how it should have been so nearly effaced, that Infinite ivisdom, which does nothing in vain, had to announce this forgotten fact through the means of miracles and inspiration.

Book The History of Christianity  Vol  1 of 3

Download or read book The History of Christianity Vol 1 of 3 written by Henry Hart Milman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-11 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, Vol. 1 of 3: From the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire This new edition of the History of Christianity has been revised throughout. A few passages have been added, chiefly in the notes; a few slightly enlarged. In general, I have not found much, after a period of above twenty years, which I should wish to retract or to modify. Some objection was raised, on the first publication of the work, against the commencement of the History of Christianity with the Life of Christ. I thought then, and still think, that life to be an integral and inseparable part of the History. It appeared to me necessary to the completeness of the History to trace it to its primal origin; to show that the Gospels, our only documentary authorities, offer a clear and distinct relation of that life, with no greater variation than might reasonably be expected from four separate and independent narratives, drawn up by different writers, at different times and places, and by one at least from a different point of view; that this relation accords in every respect with all that we know of the events, circumstances, manners, usages, opinions, of the age and country; that its religious signification, and, in part, supernatural character, in no way conflict, but are, rather, in full and perfect harmony, with its simple truth and reality.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Time of Paul: How Christianity Entered Into and Modified Life in the Roman Empire Of the more significant facts pertaining to the Gentile world into which the Apostle Paul carried the Gospel of Christ. It is not possible to make an exact division of the com posite life of his times and to trace out in all their detail the political, social, moral, relig ious, and intellectual phases of the old civili zation which it was the task of Christianity to recast. The various departments of influence overlap and intermingle; yet in order to set forth the complex conditions with which the new religion had to deal, and out of which it achieved unparalleled results, it seems best to present a series of pictures, outlining in swift succession the special aspects of the world into which Christianity was forcing its tri umphant way.

This book was released on 2018-03-20 with total page 532 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, From the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire The title given to this work does not distinctly indicate its peculiar design or object. It may be said to promise more than the book con tains, and also matter of a different kind. According to established usage, this common and well-known title would include the more theological and Spiritual part of Ecclesiastical History. But it is not so in the work be fore us. Of this, however, distinct notice is given in the author's preface. Christianity, it is there said, may be viewed either in a strictly reli gious, or, rather, in a temporal, social, and political light. In the former case the writer will dwell almost exclusively on the religious doctrines, and will bear continual reference to the new relation established between man and the Supreme Being: the prominent character will be that of the Theologian. In the latter, although he may not altogether decline the examination of the religious doctrines, their development and their vari ations, his leading object will be to trace the eject of Christianity on the individual and social happiness of man, its influence on the Polity, the Laws and Institutions, the opinions, the manners, even on the Arts and the Literature of the Christian world: he will write rather as an historian than as a religious instructer. So, at the close of his first chapter, where he again states the design of his work, he says: The History of Christianity has usually assumed the form of a History of the Church, more or less controversial, and confined itself to annals of the internal feuds and divisions in the Christian community, and the variations in doc. Trine and discipline, rather than to its political and social influences. Our attention, on the other hand, will be chiefly directed to its ejects on the social and even political condition of man. It is the author's object, the difficulty of which he himself fully appreciates, to portray the genius of the Christianity of each successive age in connexion with that of the age itself; in short, to exhibit the reciprocal influence of civilization on Christianity, of Christianity on civilization. This work, then, was not intended to be an Ecclesiastical History, in the ordinary sense of the term. The author assumes the character, less of an ecclesiastical his. Torian than of a philosopher and a politician; he treats of Christianity, considered as an element of civil society, or as affecting the social, civil, and secular condition of man.

Book An Introduction to Early Church History

Download or read book An Introduction to Early Church History written by R. Martin Pope and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-03 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to Early Church History: Being a Survey of the Relations of Christianity and Paganism in the Early Roman Empire The following sketch is intended as an introduction to the study of Christianity in its earlier stages of progress up to the accession of Constantine. It makes no preten sion to survey in detail either the history of the Empire or the history of the Church within that period, but rather endeavours by means of a series of impressions to meet the needs of students and others who desire to possess a compact statement of the main features of a development which culminated in the acceptance of Christianity as an imperial religion and, incidentally, transformed its primitive organisation into the ordered and stable system of Catholicism. The writer hopes that such an outline will elucidate the chief factors of a fasci nating historical process, suggesting lines upon which a fuller and closer study may proceed, and indicating the authorities, patristic and Otherwise, for a wider enquiry. It is obvious that some important features can only be incidentally mentioned, as, for example, the tendencies of Christian thought and the growth of dogma with details of heresy and ecclesiastical controversy. Atten tion has rather been concentrated on what perhaps is more generally desired, a survey of the movement in its contact with the empire, its influence, its self-defence and the public verdict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christ and the Fathers: Or the Reformers of the Roman Empire Several cautious and guarded concessions have been made by Bishop Temple in his Bampton Lectures on the Relations between Religion and Science on this very head, The supernatural in the form of miracles can never be the highest kind of evidence, can never stand alone; but it seems to have been needed for their first reception. But the very admissions which he makes regarding the miracles of the Old Testament, viz. The times are remote, the date and authorship of the Books not established with certainty; the mixture of poetry with history no longer capable of any sure separation into parts, are equally applicable to the miracles of the New Testament, which are said to have occurred eighteen centuries ago. At the same time, I trust the larger hope, that as the belief of Christians rests mainly on the voice within ourselves, according to him, the publica tion of the Bishop's work will date the beginning of the end in the history of the English Church, coeval with the commencement of the new British Constitution.
