Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the History of Evangelical Christianity Mation there was no definition of it put forth; for there was no controversy with Rome about it. The true basis of Christianity has thus been all along contained in the history of the Church. The scope of the history has been the display of the reception, by the world, of the announcement of the Divine redemption offered in the Gospel, to a race disordered by sin. To state the evidence as to this - to show that the many voices of Christendom utter a response to one and the same truth - is the aim of the present volume.

Download or read book The Course of Christian History Classic Reprint written by W. J. McGlothlin and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-30 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Course of Christian History Christianity is now nearly nineteen centuries old. During this long period it has steadily increased in power, determining the beliefs and hopes and ideals of individuals and more and more of whole nations. Judged from any standpoint it must be recognized as one of the master forces of mediaeval and modern history and of the present day. Intelligent men ought, it would seem, to be acquainted with the course of its history, at least in outline, through these centuries. And yet this history has been comparatively little studied, and when studied emphasis has been laid upon the darker phases of the history, its polemical and political sides. It would seem that the time has come for an effort to secure a wider and more sympathetic knowledge of what Christianity as a whole has done in the midst of the weakness and wickedness of mankind. In a Christian land should not Christian history be regularly and sympathetically taught in all institutions of higher learning? Should not laymen as well as ministers be acquainted in some degree at least with the history of the mightiest single force operative in the life of our day and nation? As the study of history, turning away from the exclusive consideration of politics and government, penetrates more and more into the social and moral life of the people whence the great national characteristics and motives spring, Christianity must become a subject of more intense and sympathetic study. It is the hope of the author that this little volume may contribute something in this direction. Church history has not been written for college students.

Download or read book Evangelicals Incorporated written by Daniel Vaca and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2019-12-03 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new history explores the commercial heart of evangelical Christianity. American evangelicalism is big business. For decades, the world’s largest media conglomerates have sought out evangelical consumers, and evangelical books have regularly become international best sellers. In the early 2000s, Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life spent ninety weeks on the New York Times Best Sellers list and sold more than thirty million copies. But why have evangelicals achieved such remarkable commercial success? According to Daniel Vaca, evangelicalism depends upon commercialism. Tracing the once-humble evangelical book industry’s emergence as a lucrative center of the US book trade, Vaca argues that evangelical Christianity became religiously and politically prominent through business activity. Through areas of commerce such as branding, retailing, marketing, and finance, for-profit media companies have capitalized on the expansive potential of evangelicalism for more than a century. Rather than treat evangelicalism as a type of conservative Protestantism that market forces have commodified and corrupted, Vaca argues that evangelicalism is an expressly commercial religion. Although religious traditions seem to incorporate people who embrace distinct theological ideas and beliefs, Vaca shows, members of contemporary consumer society often participate in religious cultures by engaging commercial products and corporations. By examining the history of companies and corporate conglomerates that have produced and distributed best-selling religious books, bibles, and more, Vaca not only illustrates how evangelical ideas, identities, and alliances have developed through commercial activity but also reveals how the production of evangelical identity became a component of modern capitalism.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and the Britons Born in Syria, Spending his early manhood in Galilee, his maturer life in and near Jerusalem, and his declining years in countries bordering the Black Sea, the Apostle Peter Should be known in history only by the title of apostle TO asia. Tradi tion has cast such a glamour over his ministry, that his name in our day is associated mainly with Rome and the Romans. By reason of this strange transplanting of facts from the East to the West, great diversities have arisen among Christian com munities, and the future will be a repetition of the past, unless coming generations are willing to turn the search-lights of truth squarely upon the important events that transpired between the years A. D. 33 and A. D. 150. Once disclose the fact that actually no foundation exists for a claim to preeminence, and you remove from among Christians one of the most potent causes of disagreement, and thus in large measure Open the way for true fellowship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Christian Church, Vol. 1 The ecclesiastical history, of which this first volume, on the Apostolic Age, has just appeared in Germany, and is now presented to the English reader, makes no parade of erudition. But it is the work of an erudite, orthodox, and pious man, as a Professor of Theology. It embodies the well digested results of laborious enquiry; and it is exempt from the faults of many similar compositions. Its small compass makes it accessible. It is no inaccurate, superficial, and trite compilation at second hand. It does not profane the Church by treating its rise and progress as those of a merely human institution. It is neither a dry chro nicle, nor a series of religious biographies. And it is no party work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Bourne, who was graduated at the Yale Divinity School the present year.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian History in Its Three Great Periods Hese volumes, of which the first was originally published under the title Fragments of Chris tian History, were prepared in the regular course of duty in the department of Ecclesiastical History in Harvard University. Taken together, the two em brace the entire development of Catholic Christianity, coming down to the eve of the Reformation. Their plan requires for its completion a third volume, te viewing certain modern phases of religious life and thought, which is now in preparation. The series thus contains a general view, or outline, of the course of study indicated in the Introduction, which I have attempted to fill out in the University lecture-courses. Taken in connection with Hebrew Men and Times, which serves as preface, and Our Liberal Movement in Theology, which serves as sequel, it gives a simi lar outline of the great religious tradition that has come down to our own time.

Download or read book The History of the Origins of Christianity Vol 3 Classic Reprint written by Ernest Renan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Origins of Christianity, Vol. 3 The fifteen or sixteen years of religious history comprised in this volume in'the embryonic age of Christianity, are the years with which we are best acquainted. Jesus and the primitive Church at Jerusalem re semble the images of a far-off paradise, lost in a mysterious mist. On the other hand, the arrival of St Paul at Rome, in consequence of the step the Author of the Acts has taken in closing at that juncture his narrative, marks in the history of Christian origins the commencement of a profound darkness into which the bloody glare of the barbarous feasts of Nero, and the thunders of the Apocalypse, cast only a few gleams. In particular, the death of the Apostles is enveloped in an impenetrable obscurity. On the contrary, the era of the missions of St Paul, especially of the second mission and the third, is known to us through documents of the greatest value. The Acts, till then so legendary, become suddenly quite authentic; the last chapters, com. Posed in part of the narrative of an eye-witness, are the sole complete historical writings which we have of the early times of Christianity. In fine, those years, through a privilege very rare in similar circum stances, provide us with documents, the dates of which are absolutely authentic, and a series of letters, the most important of which have withstood all the tests of criticism, and which have never been sub jected to interpolations. In the introduction to the preceding volume, we have made an ex amination of the Book of Acts. We must now discuss seriatim the different epistles which bear the name of St Paul. The Apostle informs us himself, that even during his lifetime there were in circulation in his name several spurious letters, and he often took precautions to prevent frauds. We are, therefore, only carrying out his intentions in subject ing the writings which have been put forth as his to a rigorous censorship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of Christian Doctrine Several years have elapsed since I engaged to prepare this work. The unexpected delay in its publication is owing chiefly to the pressure of other and more imperative engagements. One reason for it, however, is the fact that, although the subject is one which I had long studied and on which I had given instruction to many successive classes, more time was required for the compo sition of the book than I had anticipated. This is partly for the reason that it appeared to me, for the present purpose, expedient to abandon for the most part the method which I had always fol lowed in my Lectures of arranging the matter under the heads of General and Special Doctrinal History. On this topic something more is said in the introductory chapter. This change Of plan has involved an entire recasting of the materials to be incorpo rated into this volume.
