Book excerpt: In spite of long truces and temporary agreements, Christianity and the State had become two rival powers striving for the mastery of the world, and until the close of the final contest under Diocletian there could be no real peace between them. The Church was herself fully prepared for the struggle. During the first century of her existence she had perfected her organization, and her leaders, the bishops, had obtained unquestioned authority. -from "The Conquest of Heathenism by Christianity: A.D. 161-A.D. 313" With equal measures of reverence and erudition, this classic 1891 history of Christianity offers a succinct survey of the Church, from its pre-Christian foundations in Israel through its ascendency to an absolute force for cultural and religious power during the Dark Ages. In crisp, readable prose, Foakes-Jackson, a respected and prolific Biblical scholar, discusses: -how Jewish synagogues forged the path to churches -the rise of the family of Herod -the societal impact of Jesus during his lifetime -the work of the apostles in the decades after the Crucifixion -clashes between the Roman government and the Church -the origins and principles of Gnosticism -Christian thought in the early centuries of the Church -the organization of the Church -the influence of Constantine -and much more. Also available from Cosimo Classics: Foakes-Jackson's A Brief Biblical History: Old Testament.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Christian Church: From the Earliest Times to the Death of St. Leo the Great, A. D. 461 The Church, according to the Acts of the Apostles, began in Jerusalem as a purely Jewish institution, first under St. Peter, afterwards under James the Lord's brother. The Hellenistic Jews soon joined the infant Church, and developed a missionary spirit. The Gospel was preached throughout Syria, and the Gentiles began to seek admittance to the Church. The influence of the Church of Jerusalem seems to have waned somewhat after the persecution of Herod Agrippa I. Owing to the zeal of the Christians at Antioch, Barnabas and Paul were sent forth on their mission to Asia Minor. This is the real starting point of Gentile Christianity. St. Paul crossed into Europe, and the Acts of the Apostles ends with his arrival at Rome. By the) close of the Apostolic age churches had been founded in most parts of the Empire, and legends assign to each of the Twelve Apostles spheres of work, some of which were in the remotest countries of the known world.
