Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Apostles, Fathers, and Reformers Too often in human history the sharp contrast between actual conditions and the higher demands of the Christian ideal has discouraged those upon whom rested the responsibility for making that ideal real. A short-range view of life has obscured the actual growth of the Kingdom which the larger perspective of history reveals. In the face of the overwhelming preponderance of sin and selfishness in the world the Christian Church has again and again contented itself with snatching as many brands as possible from the burning, without, at the same time, seeking to organize the constructive forces of life and of society for the seemingly impossible task of putting out the conflagration. Thus the actual process of the Kingdom's coming among men has proceeded for the most part "without observation," like the first growth of the seed that has been buried in the soil. It is possible to-day, in the light of the completed records of the Old and New Testaments and the subsequent history of the Christian centuries, to discover definite stages of advance with successive landmarks of progress in the gradual establishment of the reign of God in individual lives and in the institutions of mankind. Such a survey of progress already achieved should hearten the organized Christian forces in their forward look and their endeavor to establish still more firmly among men the principles and ideals of the Kingdom. It should encourage the individual to redouble his efforts and inspire in him an unfaltering confidence in the ultimate realization and triumph of God's rule. Herein lies the purpose of the special course of study in the development of the kingdom of God in which this volume constitutes one textbook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Preaching: From the Apostolic Fathers to the Great Reformers, A. D. 70-1572 The remarkable lack Of treatises on the History of Preaching, especially in English, early impressed me, and aroused a desire to do something, however little, towards supplying the need. The difficulty of the task and the pressure of other and heavy burdens have occasioned many misgivings and delays, and there have been Of necessity changes of plan in the execution of the work. As now planned the present volume is the first Of three proposed books. It deals with the history up to and including the Reformation, the next will treat of Modern European preaching, and the last will present a History Of Preaching in the United States. Some material is in hand for these later works, and should this one be fort unate enough to find a public, and should life and leisure be granted me, I hope in time to produce them. For the completion of the present volume Opportunity was kindly afforded by the Trustees of the Seminary in granting me leave of absence for some months to Visit Europe. While abroad from June, 1902, to January, 1903, I had time not only to write up much material already gathered, but to visit some of the places made famous in the history Of the pulpit, and to read somewhat in a number of the great libraries, including those at Berlin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now with a new foreword by Mark Galli. A collection of the earliest known writings of the church, The Apostolic Fathers includes a sermon and six brief documents: the First and Second Epistles of Clement, the Didache, the Epistles of Ignatius, the Epistle of Polycarp, the Epistle about Polycarp's Martyrdom, and the Shepherd of Hermas. "There are two ways, one of life and one of death," begins the Didache, "and between the two ways there is a great difference." Followers of the way of life today will find much encouragement of those who first embarked on the path two millennia ago. The John Lightfoot (1602-1675) translation was the source used for this edition of Apostolic Fathers.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Apostolic Fathers, Vol. 33: The Epistles of St. Ignatius and St. Polycarp This seems the most rational conclusion to which we can come, concerning the duration of miraculous powers in the Church; and by adopting it, we steer between two opposite opinions, both of which must be considered erroneous; one, which would strictly limit miracles to the age of the apostles, and assert that there was no instance of their being worked afterwards; and another, which maintains that the power of working them has never ceased, but is exercised to the present day, in the true Church. This is not the place for refuting the latter opinion and it is sufficient to say that the Protestant churches do not profess to exercise any such power. But the former Opinion must also be pronounced untenable, unless we say that all the persons who had worked miracles in the life time Of the apostles, were dead before the end of the century, or that they suddenly lost the power at the moment when John, the last of the apostles, died. The reader has already been reminded that Spiritual gifts were distributed in great abundance by Paul; and there is no reason to think that the other apostles were more sparing in communicating them. The gift of healing was undoubtedly exercised by many persons besides the apostles and it is scarcely possible to suppose that they were all dead before the time which has been fixed for the death of John. We must however conclude that they were becoming, almost. Daily, less numerous; and although the Christian writers of the second century say expressly that preternatural gifts of the Spirit were occasionally witnessed in their own day, they fully confirm the view which has been here taken of this subject, and show that instances of this kind were much more uncommon than they had been formerly. As the numbers of believers increased, and the churches became more settled, there was less need of these miraculous interferences to confirm the faith of believers, or to attract fresh converts; and we may now proceed to consider the state of some of the principal churches at the beginning of the second century.

Book excerpt: The writings in this volume cast a glimmer of light upon the emerging traditions and organization of the infant church, during an otherwise little-known period of its development. A selection of letters and small-scale theological treatises from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, several of whom were probably disciples of the Apostles, they provide a first-hand account of the early Church and outline a form of early Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism. Included here are the first Epistle of Bishop Clement of Rome, an impassioned plea for harmony; The Epistle of Polycarp; The Epistle of Barnabas; The Didache; and the Seven Epistles written by Ignatius of Antioch - among them his moving appeal to the Romans that they grant him a martyr's death.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Exposition of St. Paul's Epistle to the Romans, Vol. 2: With Extracts Form the Exegetical Works of the Fathers and Reformers As to the meaning of wines, the Apostle is here addressing Jews and Judaising converts, and hence it must denote primarily the Mosaic law, not, how ever, with reference to its matter but to its form, i. E. In so far as it is law, and imposes an external obliga tion. Compare the comment at 0. Iii. 20. As this character, however, of outwardly binding, instead of quickening from within, belongs to every moral law, there lies at the bottom of this reasoning something which holds true of all times and of all men.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 636 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Reformers; And the Theology of the Reformation IN introducing the present volume to the Public, the Editors feel that a few words of explanation may be desirable, in regard to the trust assigned to them, and the manner in which they have, in so far, attempted to discharge it. In the interview which, at Dr Cunningham's request, they had with him within a few hours of his death, he committed to them the charge of his whole writings and manuscripts connected with the College, to be deposited in the Library, and to be used and applied to any purpose they judged right; stating, that he gave them absolute power to do in the matter as they considered to be best for his character, and the good of the Church. The charge thus verbally intrusted to them was formally and legally confirmed by the Trustees acting under Dr Cunningham's settlement; so that the Editors became invested with the character of his Literary Executors, and with the full powers and responsibilities attaching to such an office.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chronological Catena of Ancient Fathers and Councils: Together With the Teaching of the Reformers on the Doctrine of Spiritual Regeneration in Holy Baptism HE (abp. Laurence) has investigated the genealogy Of these Offices, and shewn that this doctrine pervades all those documents, from which we can infer their true drift and import, on legitimate principles of analogy and in duction. He has traced the doctrine which they exhibit to the writings of Cranmer, the Two Books Of Homilies, the Paraphrase Of Erasmus, the Works of Luther, and the Public Services Of the Lutheran Church. As we ascend higher, the line of testimony continues unbroken, and the doctrine Of Regeneration in and through Baptism, as a necessary Article of the Christian Faith, grounded on our Saviour's express declaration, may be traced backward, without interruption, from the time of the Reformation to the days of the Apostles.

But at least no one can have the knowledge which I have of the self-forgetful generosity Of Dr Lightfoot's work at Cambridge, and of the abiding effect of his episcopal work in Durham. He called me to Cambridge to occupy a place which was his own by right; and having done this he spared no pains to secure for his colleague favourable opportunities for action while he himself withdrew in some sense from the position which he had long virtually occupied. And now when I have been charged to fulfil according to the measure Of my strength the Office which he held here, I find in every parish an inheritance of reverence and affection which he has bequeathed to his successor.
