Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Landmarks in the Christian Centuries A legend of the Middle Ages, supposed to date from the fourth century, relates how, on the way to Calvary, Christ wished to rest His cross against the wall of a certain house, but was repelled by the owner, who, reviling Him, told Him to pass on. "I go, as it is written," was the reply, "and shall quickly find My rest; but thou shalt never find it until I come again." This legend, profoundly significant, if for the Jew we read humanity, was regarded as literal fact not only by mediaeval Catholics, but even by Protestants as late as the seventeenth century. The chronicler, Matthew of Paris, relates, in his Major Historia, how a certain Armenian archbishop, in the year 1229, visited the monastery of St. Albans, and assured his hosts that he had not only seen the Wandering Jew, but had actually entertained him at his own table, adding that he was a pious man, and of edifying conversation. Nearly four hundred years later we find the same story among German Protestants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

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 Monuments of the Early Church This volume is designed to give a general view of the monuments of the early Church, comprising in its scope all branches of Christian art and archaeology, and treating each of them as completely as is possible within the limits of a handbook. It is designed also, in behalf of students who may wish to pursue the subject further, to provide a general introduction to the archaeology of the early Christian period. To this end it is hoped that the Bibliography will be found useful. This book deals expressly with the monumental remains of Christian antiquity, and only incidentally with the early literature which illustrates the same period and the same subjects. It gives a detailed exposition of many of the most representative monuments, especially of those which are reproduced in the accompanying illustrations. There is included only so much of a more general nature as is necessary to define the point of view from which the monuments of early Christian art must be regarded, or to summarize the historical inferences which may be drawn from them. The author has confined himself scrupulously to the well-defined and soundly assured results of this study, and has endeavored to eliminate questions of a controversial character. The period covered by this study extends from the second to the sixth century inclusive. The interest of this period to the secular student lies in the fact that it represents the last phase of Graeco-Roman art and civilization, and reveals at the same time a new artistic impulse which, after remaining dormant for centuries, was destined to germinate in another soil and appear again in the more familiar art of the Middle Ages.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Century, Vol. 37: A Journal of Religion; July 1, 1920 It is easy for men who do not. Attend church to fall into the error of false assumption. A minister once ad dressed on invitation a group of nearly two hundred union labor 113611. He was given half an hour and courteous at tention for the presentation of certain principles of reli gion and their application to labor problems today. Then followed three hours of radical criticism in which the church was attacked and her ministry denounced. About one a. M. He was given opportunity for such reply as he might desire to make! He affirmed that the church was dealing directly today with the labor problem and making constant contribution to its solution. He said the men before him did not know very much about the church and its contribution at this point. He challenged those who had been attending its services at any time in the last ten years, except to go to a funeral or a wedding, to stand Five men out of the two hundred stood up! What men who do not attend church know about its present ministry and message would fill volumes! They are totally un aware of the social message of its ministry and its leader ship in moral progress. It is a curious thing for a man who confesses that he rarely attends preaching service and announces that he has no respect for the minister's opinion to declare that the pulpit is an anachronism and preaching not a man-sized job. It is to laugh to read his archaic description of the old-fashioned sermon and then take no account of tens of thousands of men interpreting the gospel of Christ and the kingdom of God in terms of the new social order today. Men like Washington Gladden and Graham Taylor and Professor Rauschenbusch and F. G. Peabody and Charles Stelzle have left their mark, in their generation, upon the church and its preaching. There is not much preaching of the futile, straw-man type so easily set up by the critic any more than there is of social-istic theories and atheistic formulas which have been put on the scrap heap in the past twenty-five years.
