(1) Who was the earliest Historian of the Christian Church? What do we know of his life and writings? (2) What other ancient Christian work was of an historical nature? Give some account of it. (3) What, independent of Eusebius, are the sources of early Ecclesiastical History? Answer. (l)Hegesippus: - originally a Jew, who had been converted to the Christian faith, and flourished about the year 170. "He wrote in five books an unsophisticated account of the Apostolical preaching in a very plain style." (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, IV. 22, 8. II. 23. St Jerome, Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Writers, c. 22.) The work has perished, except some fragments preserved by Eusebius and one more in Photius. They relate to the deaths of James and Simeon the first two Bishops of Jerusalem, E.H. II. 23. III. 32. Domitian's enquiry after the posterity of David, III. 19, 20. His journey to Rome through Corinth - the origin of heresies - a notice of the Gospel of the Hebrews, and the unwritten traditions of the Jews. Adrian's deification of his slave Antinous, IV. 22, 8. The fragment in Photius is a remark on Matt. xiii. 16. (2) "The Chronicle" of Julius Africanus, "in five books accurately written." (Eus. E.H. VI. 31.) "Julius Africanus, whose five books of Chronology are extant, in the time of the Emperor M. Aurelius Antoninus, successor of Macrinus, undertook an embassy for the restoration of Emmaus." Jerome, Cat. 63. He probably resided in Palestine, and flourished about A.D. 220. His Chronicle, now no longer extant in a separate form, is supposed to have been inserted in the works of later annalists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Ecclesiastical History of the First and Second Centuries These Lectures have never been delivered any where. When my connexion with King's College ceased, I was asked by a kind friend to authorize the publication of the notes which some of the students had taken down from my lips. He was aware that my Lectures were extempore, and that I had no reports Of my own by which I could correct theirs. Nevertheless, he fancied that he should be able to trace my meaning, and to present it in an intel ligible form to the reader: he even insisted that I should leave the matter wholly in his hands; an arrangement to which, except for his sake, I willingly consented.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Ecclesiastical History I proceed now to consider the ends which may be answered by ecclesiastical history, and to inquire what is the readiest and most profitable way of studying it. Before that memorable era, the incarnation of the Son of God, the history of the church of God was the history of one particular people, first distinguished by the name of the patriarch Israel, (otherwise called jacob) whose descendants they were and after the loss of the ten tribes, who were carried into captivity by Shalma nezer, king of Assyria, denominated from Judah, one of the sons of Jacob, and one whose progeny the greater part of the remnant were, the nation of the Jews. The history of that mph, and the history of the church, was under the Mosaick economy the same thing. Neither do we find in the annals, and other remains of those ancient. Times, the least vestige of the distinction of a community into church and state, such as hath obtained universally in the nations who have received the christian law. This distinction hath given rise to a speciesof history, whereof the world before had not conceived so much as an idea. It may not therefore be improper, in the first place, to trace its origin, that we may the better apprehend what is meant by the history of the church.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Medieval Church History: Being the Substance of Lectures Delivered at Queen's College, London I delivered a good many years ago, and more times than one, courses of Lectures on Church History to a class of girls, at Queen's College, London. One course dealt with Early Church History, another with Modern, and between these was one on Medieval. This last course has constituted the groundwork of the present volume, published by request of hearers, but those hearers, as I must acknowledge, my own daughters. I had intended at the first to do no more than print the Lectures as delivered, with some slight occasional revision; and certainly had very imperfectly recognized how much more than this would be required. Little by little I became aware that my present estimate of persons and of things was not always what it once had been, that later books demanded to be read, and later knowledge used; not to say, that it was one thing to address a class of young ladies; who, however little one might know oneself upon a subject, were tolerably sure to know less; and another, to lay oneself open to the criticism of all comers. It has followed that much has been re-written, something withdrawn, not a little added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Three Introductory Lectures on the Study of Ecclesiastical History This is a brief but necessary sketch of the first part of our subject. This is the ancient period of Ecclesiastical History. Its full treasures must be unfolded hereafter. Its accessories belong to other departments of study. The critical interpretation of the sacred books in which the history is con tained falls under the province of general Theology and Exegesis; the explanation of the languages in which they are written I gladly leave to the Pro fessor of Hebrew and the Professor of Greek. But the history itself of the Chosen People, from Abra ham to the Apostles, belongs to this Chair by right and, if health and strength are spared to me, shall also belong to it in fact.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in the Civil, Social and Ecclesiastical History of Early Maryland: Lectures Delivered to the Young Men of the Agricultural College of Maryland In a very marked degree Maryland history has suffered at the hands of its friends. Desiring to be just, and often truly enthusiastic, they have viewed its course in the direct light of their own prejudices, and the consequence has been a perverted, incomplete, unphilosophical presentation. For Maryland history is many-sided, having, in its course, involved many ques tions of very diverse kinds, -ecclesiastical, civil, social, political, military. Starting in a small, unique colony, with peculiar institutions created by a charter, itself the outcome of political notions that were fast losing their hold on the popular mind, it had to fight its way, often in weakness, through those institutions up into larger and truer ideas of human liberty. Fight its way; for there was always a sufficient number of conservative men, who held by what was old, to make the efforts of the liberal majority difficult, and to necessitate years of effort before success could crown their endeavors. And this contest went on in all the departments of life, political, civil, social and ecclesiastical; in the last as eminently as in any other; for ecclesiastical affairs be longed as much to the political life of a people then as civil or social affairs did, and probably excited always far more of prejudice and passion than either of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Making of the Church of England: A. D. 597-1087; A Course of Historical Lectures While I was Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the Theological Department of the University of the South, it was my custom to lecture to the Senior Class on the History of the Church of England in general. But I gave special attention to Early English Church History in particular, from the Foundation of that Church in A. D. 597 to the Norman Conquest about five hundred years later. Under the Title of "The Making of the Church of England," I have given for twelve years a Course of Lectures based upon the Sources and upon the best Authorities, Ancient and Modern, but put into a popular form and in familiar colloquial language. I have delivered these Lectures not only to my Classes, but to Summer Schools of Theology, and to other more popular audiences, and have always been asked to publish them. When I resigned my Professorship a few years ago, I was asked by my students and by the University authorities to retain a Special Lectureship in Early English Church History, which I now hold. But, as I am about to retire altogether, I take this method of complying with the wishes of my former students and other friends.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapters of Early English Church History The following Chapters are an expansion of Lectures which have been delivered to my Class, while we had Bede's 'History' before us with a view to the Theological Final School. Wishing to connect them, in their present form, with their original purpose, I have retained a few colloquial phrases, and a few local allusions, which seemed natural in addressing a number of Oxford students, of whom several were personally well known to me. The first or introductory Chapter is devoted to the history of the ancient British Church. The general subject of the rest of the volume is the Age of the Conversion of the Old-English people to Christianity: a great, though comparatively a brief period, extending but little beyond a century, and closing naturally with the death, in 709, of their greatest native Bishop, himself the evangeliser of those among them who, from a peculiar isolation, were the last to receive the Faith. My obligations to the 'Councils and Ecclesiastical Documents, ' edited by the late Mr. Haddan and by Professor Stubbs, will be apparent throughout these pages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Worthies of the Irish Church: Lectures Delivered in the Divinity School of the University of Dublin I have come now, wrote Dr. Stokes, in the concluding chapter of his anglo-norman to the limits which I have marked out for myself. Were I to go farther I should tread upon the boundaries of the modern history of Ireland. At some other time, if God spares me health and strength, I hope to deal with that subject. It was with the view of fulfilling the purpose here indicated, that so much of his time was Spent, in the closing years of his life, in amassing materials connected with the later history of the Church of which he was a member. The period which seems to have had most attraction for him was the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries. Had he lived to develop the scheme which he had devised, it appears almost certain that he would have told the story of that period, in the form of a series of biographies; and he often spoke of his intention of printing his lectures on Archbishop King. There can be no doubt that they at least were written with the ultimate purpose of publication. It has been the reproach of the Irish Church in the past that the mass of its members have had so little knowledge of its chequered history, and have shown so little interest in its story. If that reproach has now been to some extent removed, it is largely due to the unwearied labours of Professor Stokes. There was, indeed, earlier in the present century a distinguished band of scholars who devoted great learning and energy to the investigation of Irish Ecclesiastical History.
