Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Church From the Earliest Ages to the Reformation, Vol. 1 of 3 I have been sorry to observe that the account which I have published, and to which I still adhere, of the original constitution of the Church, has given offence to some respectable sectarians; and those gentlemen will learn, perhaps with surprise, that the same account has equally disappointed the views of some learned and zealous divines within the Church. Thus doubly unfortunate, I can only seek consolation, under the dissatisfaction of the one party, in the oppo site murmurs of the other: secure in the reﬂection, that, in our common liability to error, the more mode rate generally proves the wiser judgment; and that extreme opinions seldom long survive the controversies which have given them birth. Such errors as I have discovered in the revisal of the work have been anxiously removed. To the friendly suggestions that have been made to me by others, I have applied, with advantage and gratitude, my most careful consideration. Yet is it a harder task than some imagine to thread the entangled paths of ecclesiastical contention. It is not enough to possess an earnest desire to arrive at just conclusions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Church: From the Earliest Ages to the Reformation An attempt to compress into the following pages the ecclesiastical history of fifteen centuries, requires some previous explanation, lest any should imagine that this undertaking ha 3 been entered upon rashly, and without due consideration of its difficulty. This is not the case; I am not blind to the various and even opposite dangers which beset it; and least of all am I insensible to the peculiar and most solemn importance of the subject. But I approach it with deliberation as well as reverence, willing to consecrate to Gods service the fruits of an insufficient, but not careless diligence, and also trusting, by His divine aid, to preserve the straight path which leads through truth unto wisdom. The principles by which I have been guided require no preface; they will readily develops themselves, as they are the simplest in human nature. But, respecting the general plan which has been followed in the conduct of this work, a few words appear to be necessary. In the first place I have abandoned the method of division by centuries, which has too long perplexed ecclesiastical history, and have endeavoured to regulate the partition by the dependence of connected events, and the momentous revolutions which have arisen from it. It is one advantage in this plan, that it has very frequently enabled me to collect under one head, to digest by a single effort, and present, in one uninterrupted view, materials bearing in reality upon the same point, but which, by the more usual method, are separated and distracted. It is impossible to ascertain the proportions or to estimate the real weight of any single subject amidst the events which surround it it is impossible to draw from it those sober and applicable conclusions which alone distinguish history from romance, unless we bring the corresponding portions into contact, in spite of the interval which time may have thrown between them: for time has scattered his lessons over the records of humanity with a profuse but careless hand, and both the diligence and the judgment of man must be exercised to collect and arrange them, so as to extract from their combined qualities the true odor of wisdom. It is another advantage in the method which I have adopted, that it affords greater facility to bring into relief and illustrate matters which are really important and have had lasting effects; since it is chiefly by fixing attention and awakening reflection on those great phenomena which have not only stamped a character on the age to which they belong, but have influenced the conduct and happiness of after ages, that history asserts her prerogative above a journal or an index, not permitting thought to be dispersed nor memory wasted upon a minute narration of detached incidents and transient and inconsequential details. And, in this matter, I admit that my judgment has been very freely exercised in proportioning the degree of notice to the permanent weight and magnitude of events. As regards the treatment of particular branches of this subject, all readers are aware how zealously the facts of ecclesiastical history have been disputed, and how frequently those differences have been occasioned or widened by the peculiar opinions of the disputants. Respecting the former, it is sufficient to say that the limits of this work obviously prevent the author from pursuing and unfolding all the intricate perplexities of critical controversy. I have, therefore, generally contented myself, in questions of ordinary moment, with following, sometimes even without comment, what has appeared to me to be the more probable conclusion, and of signifying it as probable only. Respecting the latter, I have found it the most difficult, as it is certainly among the weightiest of my duties, to trace the opinions which have divided Christians in every age regarding matters of high import both in doctrine and discipline.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church History, Vol. 3 of 3 The Jesuit counter-reformation 151) was eminently suc cessful during the first decades of the century in Bohemia. The nvestphalian Peace restrained its violence, but did not prevent secret machinations and the open exercise of all conceivable arts of seduction. Next to the conversion of Bohemia, the greatest triumph of the restoration was won in France in the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. Besides such victories the Catholics were able to glory in the con version of several Protestant princes. New endeavours at union were repeatedly made, but these in every case proved as fruitless as former attempts had done.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Christian Church, Vol. 3: The Modern Church, Part First Colet died before his adherence to his liberal princi ples had fairly been put to the test by the stirring crisis Of the Reformation. More was less fortunate, and made a record finally which stands in sharp contrast with the sentiments expressed at an earlier date. In his Utopia he plainly intimated that he was Opposed to persecution for the sake Of religion, to the encouraging of vagabond friars, to the veneration of images, and to the worship Of saints; that he considered confession to a priest un necessary, and celibacy on the part of priests nothing essential or desirable. But in his later years, fearing, perhaps, that the Reformation would lead to fanaticism, he turned apologist for the corrupt Church, and acted the part Of an energetic persecutor of the Protestants.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the Reformation of the Church of England, Vol. 3 This Work, which is designed to finish the History of our Reformation, seems reserved to be laid at your Majesty's feet; who, we trust, is designed by God to complete the Reformation itself. To rectify what may be yet amiss, and to supply what is defective among us; to oblige us to live and to labour more suitably to our profession; to unite us more firmly among ourselves; to bury, and for ever to extinguish, the fears of our relapsing again into popery; and to establish a confidence and correspondence with the protestant and reformed churches abroad. The eminent moderation of the most serene house from which your Majesty is descended, gives us auspicious hopes, that as God has now raised your Majesty, with signal characters of an amazing Providence, to be the head and the chief strength of the Reformation; so your Majesty will, by a wise and noble conduct, form all these churches into one body; so that, though they cannot agree to the same opinions and rituals with us in all points, yet they may join in one happy confederacy, for the support of the whole, and of every particular branch of that sacred union.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church History, Vol. 1 of 3 The English reader is here presented with a translation of the ninth edition of a work which first appeared in 1849, and has Obtained a most distinguished place, it might be said almost a monopoly, as a text-book of Church History in the German Universities. Since 1850, when the second edition was issued, an English translation of which has been Widely used in Britain and America, Dr. Kurtz has given great attention to the improvement Of his book. The in crease of size has not been caused by wordy amplification, but by an urgent necessity felt by the author as he used the vast materials that recent years have spread out before the historical student. In 1870 Dr. Kurtz retired from his professorship, and has conscientiously *devoted himself to bring up each successive edition of his text-book to the point reached by the very latest scholarship of his own and other lands. In his Preface to the ninth edition of 1885 he claims to have made very special improvements on the presentation of the history of the first three centuries, where ample use is made of the brilliant researches of Harnack and other distinguished scholars of the day.
