Book Synopsis Paganism and Christianity (Classic Reprint) by : J. A. Farrer
Download or read book Paganism and Christianity (Classic Reprint) written by J. A. Farrer and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paganism and Christianity If any great classical writers of the ancient world, like Seneca or Cicero, could come to life again, nothing surely would astonish them more than the descriptions they might read in our books of the state of the world when they left it, of its moral depravity, and the absence of the religious idea. One would gladly hear what they would say to it all; but, falling that, it only remains to enter as much as possible into their tone of thought, and to present the case between Christianity and Paganism as they might do if they could now speak for themselves, and had at their command eighteen centuries of Church history and all writings of the Fathers and theologians.

Book Synopsis Paganism Surviving in Christianity (Classic Reprint) by : Abram Herbert Lewis
Download or read book Paganism Surviving in Christianity (Classic Reprint) written by Abram Herbert Lewis and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paganism Surviving in Christianity He who judges the first century by the nineteenth will fall into countless errors. He who thinks that the Christianity of the fourth century was identical with that of the New-Testament period, will go widely astray. He who does not look carefully into the history of religions before the time of Christ, and into the pagan influences which surrounded infant Christianity, cannot understand its subsequent history. He who cannot rise above denominational limitations and credal restrictions cannot become a successful student of early Church history, nor of present tendencies, nor of future developments. History is a series of results, not a medley of happenings. It is the story of the struggle between right and wrong; the record of God's dealing with men. The "historic argument" is invaluable, because history preserves God's verdicts concerning human choices and actions. Events and epochs, transitions and culminations, are the organized causes and effects which create the never-ceasing movement, and the organic unity called history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Establishment of Christianity and the Proscription of Paganism Since the Object in dealing with these particular prob lems and Constantine's legislation for the Christian Church was merely to aid in the comprehension of his general policy, it has seemed advisable to omit discussion of the Emperor's laws against heterodox Christianity. The ques tion of heresy under the Christian emperors is so intricate as to demand separate treatment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christianity and Paganism: In the Fourth and Fifth Centuries This little volume lays claim to no large amount of research or originality of treatment. It comprises the notes which I have used in lecturing to men at Oxford who were reading for the Honour School of Theology. It has no further aim than to furnish a convenient summary which may be of some service to any theological students who are interested in the period covered by its pages. I am very largely indebted throughout the book to the able monograph of M. Etienne Chastel, published at Geneva in 1850. Mr. S. G. Hamilton, of Hertford College, kindly read through the proofs for me. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

D. 64 to the Peace of the Church in the Fourth Century: A Narration Mainly Based Upon Contemporary Records and Remains Following a practice very different from that usual among professors of any of the persecuted forms of religion before their time, or even among professors of a persecuted religion after their time, the Christians throughout these years, although conscious of their numbers, their organisation and their power, never took up arms against their persecutors; these hated, despised, outlawed men continued to be the most loyal and peaceful subjects of the great world-wide Empire. It is this strange power of passive resistance, to which we have alluded above, and of which we shall speak again, which is one of the principal evidences of a special super natural assistance being vouchsafed to them.

Book Synopsis Essays on Christianity, Paganism, and Superstition (Classic Reprint) by : Thomas De Quincey

This book was released on 2016-09-02 with total page 660 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Essays on Christianity, Paganism, and Superstition The present edition is a reissue of the Works of Thomas De Quincey. The series is based upon the American Edition of De Quincey's Works, pub lished originally in twenty-two volumes. After that edition was issued, a complete English edition was published in Edinburgh and was edited and revised in part by the author. This edition con tained changes and additions, and the opportunity has been taken, in reissuing the American edition, to incorporate the new material which appeared in the English edition. At the same time, the arrangement of the several productions is more systematic and orderly than was possible when the collection was first made, at different intervals, under difficulties which render the work of the first editor especially praiseworthy. In the final volume, an introduction to the series sets forth the plan carried out in this new arrangement, and that volume also contains a very full index to the entire series. Throughout the series, the notes of the editor are distinguished from those of the author. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, From the Birth of Christ to the Abolition of Paganism in the Roman Empire For clergymen, also, and for all who cultivate sound theological learn. Ing, this work will be valuable. Though not embracing the whole ground of Church History, and, therefore, not meeting all their necessities, it takes up many subjects of no small importance, and treats them in a very able and interesting manner. On most of the topics which come within the range of his plan, Mr. Milman makes good use of what he justly de. Nominates the unwearied industry, the universal command of the litera. Ture of all ages and all countries, and the boldness, sagacity, and impar tiality in historical criticism of the modern German writers and he in. Genuously acknowledges himself under too much obligation to them not Openly to express his gratitude. Yet he is far from adopting all their conclusions. He is aware of the wild aberrations to which they are ia eident, and he is sedulous, and, for the most part, successful in selecting from them only what appears sound and valuable. Among the subjects of interest to theologians which Mr. Milman has discussed, are, the character of the different Pagan Religions, and their ia uences on society; the Grecian Philosophy, and its effects the Oriental Philosophy, and its legitimate offspring, the Gnostic and Manichzean sects; the in uences of this philosophy on the prevailing opinions and modes of thinking among the Jews, at the time of Christ's advent, and, consequently, Upon the language of the New Testament, and on the conceptions and the belief of Christians in the early ages, and even down to modern times the origination of asceticism, penance, celibacy, and bodily mortifications from this philosophy; the progress of Christianity in the four first centu. Ries, and the decline and fall of Paganism in the Roman empire the long struggles of the latter, first for victory, and then for existence, its artifices, its assumption of new forms, new principles, and a new organization bor rowed from the Church; the origin of the Christian Hierarchy, and its advances in power and wealth, and its complete dominion over the Church and the consciences of men; the spread of monkery in the fourth and fifth centuries, and its effects the changes in legislation and government, in the manners and customs of the people, in the arts, literature, and the general state of society, in consequence of the prevalence of Christianity. Besides these subjects, which properly fall within the s00pe or design of the work, Mr. Milman, as already stated, has gone over the entire history of the Saviour and his apostles. He likewise gives a pretty full and interest. Ing account of the principal schisms and controversies in the Church, and particularly of the early disagreements between the Jewish and Gentile converts, and of the Donatist and Arian controversies. He also gives us biographies of several of the most eminent fathers, Chrysostom, Basil, the two Gregories, Ambrose, Augustine, Jerome, &c.; and he even recites some of the more interesting martyrdoms.

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 History 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.
