Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Evolution: Modern Problems of the Faith Christian Faith. Although, therefore, a general agreement will be found to exist throughout the series, one or two of the writers have made no secret of their holding a much more limited view of the scope and character of Evolution than that represented by the rest. Should exception be taken to this circumstance, we would respectfully submit, that in the settlement of great vital questions it must tend in a much higher degree to healthy, thorough, and impartial discussion when debaters are left perfectly free in every thing save the essentials of the point at issue. In the hope that the following pages may be found helpful by many whose spirits are shadowed by the scepticism of the age, we now commit them.

Download or read book History of Christianity written by Paul Johnson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of a Christian The name thus given to the followers of Christ is significant for many reasons. The question has been raised in some quarters as to whether religion is dogma or life. In fact, our religion in the last reduction is neither dogma nor life; it is a Way from Sin into the Kingdom of God. Its bed-rock is truth, its pavement is character, its destination is eternal life. It is a plain Way; as indicated in the prophecy, A highway Shall be there and a way, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the wayfaring man, though a fool.

Download or read book New Testament History written by Harris Franklin Rall and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Testament History: A Study of the Beginnings of Christianity This history might be more strictly called a study of the beginnings of Christianity. While designed primarily for use as a college textbook, it should be of equal value to any reader who wishes to trace the story of Christianity in its first days. This is first Of all a historical study. The average man has been wont to regard Christianity as a fixed and finished something that has been dropped down from the skies. If you speak of the Christian religion he will think first of all of a collection of writings, or of a body of doctrine, or Of the institution of the church. But these three, Bible and doctrine and church, are simply the products of a greater movement that lies back of them. To understand Christi amity we must go back to this great current of life which was at once the greatest revelation of the divine Spirit and the greatest movement of the human spirit that mankind has known. What was the world to which this new life came? What did its Founder teach and do? How did the world brotherhood come out of the little company of Jews that followed him?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Christianity For those who desire to study the subject Of these lectures in greater detail, I recommend especially the works on Church history by Baur and Hase. They are mutually complementary. The former is remarkable for his large and spirited interpretation Of the main ideas Of that epoch, Of the fundamental thoughts of the great teachers and heroic leaders as well as Of the teleological connection in the en tire development. The latter is masterly in the Wealth Of detail, the art of vivid narration and the nice, intelligent characterization Of the actors in their relation to their environment. The two writ ers have in common great Objectivity in the treat ment Of the material; they have the ability to trans pose themselves without prejudice into times past and persons distant and foreign, as well as to judge them justly on the basis of the conditions Of their own day.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Early Christianity: A Genetic Study of First-Century Christianity in Relation to Its Religious Environment Of Christian origins must first orient himself in the life of the times, if he would understand the genesis of the new religion as well as the literature it produced. The possibility of obtaining this orientation has greatly increased in recent years. Much help may now be derived from the historical study of religions as a whole, which supplies certain broad principles capable of general application. These results emphasize the necessity of taking account of psychological processes in the rise and development of all religions, and they make clear the importance of social and cultural forces for the determination of religious phenomena. But more immediate help comes from Observing the actual historical situation in which the early Christians lived. Within the last half-century various scholars have devoted themselves to the study of later Judaism, with the result that the historian can now know, for the most part, the actual religious situation which conditioned the lives of the first disciples on Jewish soil.

Download or read book Evolution in Christian Doctrine Classic Reprint written by Percy Gardner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-11 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Evolution in Christian Doctrine It is not easy to find a name for the modern broad school in the Church. The term liberal has predominantly a political meaning. The term broad may indicate mere laxity and indifference. I have decided boldly to adopt the term Modernist. It also is unsatisfactory, for what is modem is by no means always in the line of progress. And the Roman Curia has attached the term Modernist to a circle of beliefs which seldom if ever was found in the mind of a single thinker: it has created a sort of clothes-horse, on which to hang any views which it regards as dangerous. But we must reflect that nearly all party names were originally the invention of enemies, including even the name Christian; and we may hope to rescue the term Modernist from ignoble use.

Download or read book The Evolution of Man and Christianity Classic Reprint written by Howard Macqueary and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-26 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Man and Christianity First. It has been repeatedly asserted that I reject the Incarnation or the Divinity of Christ. This is false.viii evolution OF man and christianity. I accept the Catholic doctrine of the Incarnation as set forth in our Second Article of Religion. As more fully explained in the chapter on Miracles, the birth and char acter of our Lord are two distinct questions, and one may accept His divinity even if he believe that He had an earthly father - Joseph. Further: One may believe Ilis birth to have been truly miraculous - that is, the result of a special operation of the Divine Will - and yet hold that this birth occurred along the lines of natural generation. In other words, the divinity of Christ depends upon the essential relation of the hu man and divine spiritual elements in Him, not upon the mode of His birth. He may have been born in the ordinary way, while His (human) spirit was specially begotten of God the Holy Ghost, the Lord and Giver of Life, working through the media of a man and woman. At any rate, I believe that in Christ dwelt all the fullness of the Godhead bodily (col., ii, which influx of Deity into Humanity was due to a special operation of God's Will acting along the line of ordinary generation. It has also been asserted that I reject the resurrection of Christ. I do attach little importance to the details of His bodily resurrection as given in the Gospels, because I consider these documents of too uncertain authorship to allow of attaching much importance to their details but I accept the resurrection or manifestation of Christ after death in a spiritual body, as spoken of by St. Paul in First Corinthians, xv; and this is the doctrine of the Episcopal Church, as set forth in her burial service.

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 The History of the Origins of Christianity: The Gospels The question whether the epistle attributed to Clemens Romanus is really by that holy personage, has only a mediocre importance, since the writing in question is represented as the collective work of the Roman Church, and since the problem confines itself, consequently, as to who held the pen on this particular occasion. It is not the same as the epistles attributed to St Ignatius. The fragments which com pose this collection are either authentic or the work of a forger. In the second hypothesis they were at least sixty years posterior to the death of St Ignatius, and such is the importance of the changes which Operated in those sixty years, that the documentary value of the said fragments is absolutely changed by them. It is hence impossible to treat the history of the origins of Christianity, without taking up a decided position in this regard.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Christianity The little book herewith given to the public is based upon the "Kircheugeschichte im Grundriss," by Professor Rudolph Sohm, professor of jurisprudence in the University of Leipzig, the many excellencies of which are enhanced by the fact that here Church history is written from the stand-point of a lawyer. The aim has been to preserve every thing of value to the American reader which the original work contains, and to add much which it omits or barely mentions. Thus 17, 18, 37, 38, 39, 53, 54, 55, 56, are all additional, as also the supplementary and explanatory notes, and the chronological tables. In the translated portions, omissions and additions were made, and statements of opinion altered whenever it was deemed necessary.
