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 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.

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1892 edition. Excerpt: ... chapter xi. Constantine's Legislation Concerning The Pagan Sunday. All his Tolerative Legislation Essentially Pagan--Christians did not Seek for Sunday Laws--The first Sunday Law, 321 A.D., Pagan in Every Particular--Essentially Identical with Existing Laws Concerning Other Days--Legislation against Heathen Religions Feeble and Unenforced--Constantine not a "Christian Prince." the representative legislation of Constantine, with reference to Christianity, was pagan both as to its genius and form. The various edicts in favor of Christians contained little or nothing of true liberty of conscience. They were the steps by which Christianity, already paganized, was recognized, and gradually raised to a dominant place among the legal religions. This accorded with the prevailing syncretism, and the policy which Rome had always exercised toward foreign religions. On the other hand, the Emperor, still acting as Pontifex Maximus, and long before he was baptized into the fellowship of the Church, became its dictator. He convened and controlled the famous council at Nice ( 325 A.d.) while his hands were red with the blood of his kindred, whom he slew lest they might come between him and his ambition to be sole emperor. The decisions of the Council of Nice mark the beginning of centuries in which imperial law determined what should be called Christianity, what orthodoxy, and what heterodoxy. The Bible was not the standard of faith, or practice. Traditions, imperial decrees, the decisions of councils called and dictated by the imperial power, determined the practice of the Church, and formulated her faith. This will be shown more in detail farther on. Meanwhile we pause to examine the character of one of Constantine's earliest laws, which has left a...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A preliminary survey is the more necessary lest the general reader fail to grant the facts of history a competent hearing and a just consideration. Unconsciously men think of the earliest Christianity as being like that which they profess. They measure the early centuries by their own. Their Church, its doctrines, forms, creeds and customs, stands as the representative of all Christianity. It seems like a "rude awakening" to ask men to believe that there is a "pagan residuum" in their faith, or in the customs of their fathers. The average Christian must pass through a broadening process, before he can justly consider such a question. Unhappily, there are too many who are unwilling to undergo such an enlargement of their religious and historical horizon as will make them competent to consider those facts which every earnest student of history must face. But the Christian who believes in the immortality of truth, and in the certainty of its triumph, will welcome all facts, even though they may modify the creed he has hitherto accepted.

Book excerpt: The pagan systems which ante-dated Christ, exercised a controlling influence on the development of the first five centuries of Western Christianity, and hence, of all subsequent times. This field has been too nearly "an unknown land," to the average student, and therefore correct answers have been wanting to many questions which arise, when we leave Semitic soil, and consider Christianity in its relation to Greek and Roman thought. "Early Christianity" cannot be understood except in the light of these powerful, pre-Christian currents of influence; and present history cannot be separated from them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Paganism Not Abolished in the Roman Empire, or the Christian World: A Lecture Christian soil a strange assertion, yet a true one, as I proceed to prove. The circumstances under which these inspired words of Holy Scripture were written, were somewhat as follow The greater number of the little band called the Church at Thessalonica, had been, previous to their acceptation of the Gospel, heathen Gentiles, and thus the holy apostle, speaking of their past condition - that of worshiping dumb idols, contrasts it with their present - that of serving the living and true God, and consequently holds out to them a hope of reward for their present service. It is now more than eighteen hundred years since the introduction of the only perfect I and successful religion. Previous to, and at the foundation of this system, the whole world, with the exception of a few of Abraham's descendants, was lying in the darkness of heathendom. The great object of Christianity was to abolish the worship of dumb idols, gods that see and hear not, lifeless gods and to establish among mankind the worship of the true and living God; to reconcile to God through the media tion of His Son, the Founder of this true religion, the whole Human family. The Revealer of God to ﬂesh, and God revealed in ﬂesh, as the foundation for the future immortality of the race (as many as was the immutable design of the Infinite.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of nearly 175 documents?from saints, emperors, philosophers, satirists, inscriptions, graffiti, and other interesting types?that sheds light on the complex fabric of religious belief as it changed from a variety of non-Judeo-Christian movements to Christian in late antiquity. These texts illuminate and bring to life the bizarre and the banal of the social world of the Roman Empire, the world in which Christianity ultimately gained preeminence. This treasury of texts leads the reader through the matrix of beliefs among which Christianity grew. It includes both Christian and non-Christian sources, avoiding a common but obscuring division between the two. The material is presented as one single flow that satisfies natural curiosity and whets the reader's appetite for more. Brief explanatory introductions to the documents are included.
