Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of Christendom Montesquieu had said before Gibbon that the monks wrote not in the interest of their subject, but for the glory of their Order an observation perfectly just, and for want of attention to which the history of Christen dom has so long remained in Obscurity. In the present work I have dealt with the mythology of the cloisters, by means Of which a great cloud of fancy has been made to envelop Church origins in our world, from Asia and Egypt to the British Isles. As briefly as I may, I will explain how I was led to the conclusions, strange and perhaps startling as they will at first appear, which are set forth in the following pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Christianity, Vol. 1: The Rise of the Religion St Paul was a trained theologian, the writer of the Apocalypse was a layman, and this volume closes with an analysis and estimate of that remarkable work. It is the oldest and only document springing out of lay Christian enthusiasm, and Professor Wernle thinks that it represents the general lay opinion of the Church in primitive Christian times. At the bottom of this enthusiasm lay the belief that the world was rapidly coming to an end. And that the supreme duty of man was to seek salvation from the coming judgment by watchfulness and repentance. Men in such a condition of mind had no thought of setting up stable ecclesiastical forms and institutions. But these men had a new life in them - a life of.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christianity of Christ But, alas, the roots of the tree penetrated to the fountain, and the whole was tainted, and now the spring is neglected and its waters forsaken. So men have often spoiled the truth as it is in Jesus by attempting to improve it. Instead of accepting it as it is in all its native plainness, undoctored and un alloyed, they have sought to subtract from it here and add to it there, and thus have either robbed it of its strength and glory, or turned thirsty souls from it altogether.

Download or read book A Sketch of the Rise and Progress of Christianity Classic Reprint written by Robert William Mackay and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Sketch of the Rise and Progress of Christianity The treatment of Christian Theology has hitherto oscillated between church authority and individual impulse and feeling. Reason has throughout played only an incidental and secondary part. The early misapplication of it in the endeavour to de termine, by way of speculative inference, the essential nature of the Deity, could end only in discomfiture. The Trinitarian controversy of the first centuries was a hopeless entanglement, in which the mind, driven from point to point by its own ingenuity, eventually registered the utterances of its torture and despair in the unintelligible jargon of the Athanasian Creed. Reawakening after a long interval, it returned once more to grapple with the Creed or established articles of dogma which had obtained undisputed possession of the Chris tian mind during the middle ages. But this new attempt turned out as unfortunately as the former one 3 and, so far from establishing a satisfactory alliance between faith and reason, produced their formal, and, it would seem, final separation. The only remaining alternative was that of an unmitigated dogmatism, or, if individual judgment were appealed to, an appeal strictly limited to Scripture and to feeling. A mystical coalition between the received dogma and the internal senti ments was still possible; if a man could not prove the truth of his position, he might at least feel himself to be in the right; the dogma might be arbitrarily limited to meet the feeling, or the feeling enlarged to comprehend the mysteries of the dogma. This was the ground taken by the early reformers, the medi. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book A History of the Christian Church Classic Reprint written by Williston Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eminent church historian and theologian Professor Williston Walker gives us an authoritative and scholarly account on the progress of the church founded by Christ, aptly titled A History of the Christian Church. First published in 1918, this edition has since gone on to become one of the classics in Christian literature. It examines various periods that led to the establishment of the church and how the Reformation came about in light of the preceding events. The author begins this volume with a discussion on the general situation before proceeding to talk about Judaism, the rise of Jesus and his disciples, the end of the apostolic era and the development of Christianity in the second century AD. From Gnosticism at the beginning of the book, he ends with the eventual transition to the modern situation, tackling various subjects such as English Unitarianism, Methodism, Catholicism, and even American Christianity - religious denominations and divisions which remain relevant to this day. The exhaustive nature of Professor Walker's work shows his expertise in the subject and the extent of the research he has done to produce a classic historical account of superb quality. Students of religious studies, as well as those seeking enlightenment on the development of the modern Christian church will benefit much from this clearly written and comprehensive opus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Christianity The studies and discourses that are herein ofiered to the public deal with some general conditions of Christian life in the first three centuries of our era. Though already printed, at intervals and amid the pressure of grave academic duties, it is hoped that a certain unity of doctrine, purpose, and interest will not be found wanting to their collection as a series. In one way or another they illustrate certain phases and circumstances of those wonderful centuries before Constantine the Great, when the constitution and the institutions of the new religious society were de veloping on all sides within the vast Empire of Rome. The teachings of Jesus Christ were the pure, sweet leaven that permeated the decaying and unhappy society of antiquity, saved from its mass of corruption some germs of goodness and truth, of beauty and justice, and strengthened the State against those shocks that would otherwise have reduced it to pri maeval barbarism. A perennial charm must therefore attach to any narrative of the problems and vicissi tudes of this era. This is particularly true of the sufferings of the infant churches, and the social changes their rapid growth could not fail to work in the Roman society that seemed to contain them, but of which.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rise of the Current Reformation, or a Study in the History of Theology of the Disciples of Christ The "Current Reformation" was a familiar name used at the time for the religious movement which has resulted in the "Disciples of Christ" or "Christian Churches." It is adopted as the title best expressive of the phase of this phenomenon of modern church history set forth in this book. The work, as will be evident to every reader, is written from within the movement and in confessed sympathy with it. On the other hand, the writer has earnestly tried to tell the truth. As far as possible, the words ofthe original authors have been made to speak for themselves. The writer has interpreted his duty 33 narration, not praise or blame. He gladly acknowledges the excellent work done by Dr. W. E. Garrison, "Alexander Campbell's Theology"; by Dr. Errett Gates, "The Early Relation and Separation of the Disciples and Baptists," and the "History of the Disciples"; also the service done by C. A. Young, in the publication of "Historic Documents Illustrating Christian Union"; but his own researches have been independent of these and for the most part prior in time. They have been, as the book will show, with the original sources as far as these are attainable on this Western Hemisphere. This book was first written as a Doctor's Thesis in the University of Chicago. Having been added to out of the practical work of the class-room and convention floor in California, its author has taken the occasion of the Texas Christian Lectureship, 1905, to place it in final form. The limitations of the work arc freely recognized at many points. The writerinvites a frankcriticism and will gladly recognize any errors which the reader may be able to point out to him.

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 His tory 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 The Formation of Christendom, Vol. 4 Christ originally took up in regard to the Civil Power, and what the behaviour Of the Civil Power towards the Church was. And, thirdly, the question of principles being thus laid down, the remainder of the volume is occupied with the historical exhibition Of the subject during the first three centuries; that is, from the Day Of Pentecost to the Nicene Council. The supreme im portance of that period will appear to all who reflect that the Church from the beginning, and in the first centuries Of her existence, must be the same in principles with the Church Of the nineteenth and every succeeding Century. And this volume is, in fact, a prelude to the treatment Of the same subject in the last three centuries, down to the Ecumenical Council of the Vatican. The subject which I am treating is, then, strictly historical, being the action Of a King in the establish ment of a kingdom; the action Of a Lawgiver in the legislation which He gave to that kingdom; the action Of a Priest in founding a hierarchy, whereby that kingdom consists; but, moreover, -which is something much more - the action of One who is Priest, Lawgiver, and King at once and always, and therefore whose work is at once one and triple, and indivisible in its unity and triplicity, and issuing in the forming Of a people which is simply the creation Of its King.
