This book was released on 2018-12-09 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of Christian Theophagy The subsequent history of the eucharist is chief ly the record of attempts to rationalize a doctrine that, after the first three or four centuries of the vulgar era, no longer seemed natural. In transub stantiation, in consubstantiation, in the various ex planations of the modes of the real presence evolved by the Reformers, we see - but so many ef forts on the part of reason to grasp the mystery of the words: This is my body. As, in the contro versies following Luther's revolt, the matter te ceived the most thorough discussion that it ever received, the period of the Reformation bulks large in the present work. After the sixteenth century, little that was new or important was said upon the subject. The Zwinglian theory that the bread and wine were mere symbols was silently adopted by most Protestants, by all, indeed, except a small band who consciously clung to whatever was an cient and impressive in ritual and to the credo quia absurdum in doctrine. Both among Christians and rationalists the matter ceased to attract attention. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis A Short History of Christianity by : Geoffrey Blainey
Download or read book A Short History of Christianity written by Geoffrey Blainey and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2013-10-24 with total page 637 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For two thousand years, Christianity has had a varying but immense influence on world history. Accomplished historian Geoffrey Blainey leads us through the history of this world-changing religion. A Short History of Christianity vividly describes many of the significant players in the religion’s rise and fall through the ages, from Jesus himself to Francis of Assisi, Martin Luther, Francis Xavier, John Wesley, and even the Beatles, who claimed to be “more popular than Jesus.” Blainey takes us into the world of Christian worshipers through the ages—from housewives to stonemasons—and traces the rise of the critics of Christ and his followers. Eminently readable, and written with Blainey’s characteristic curiosity and storytelling skill, this book often places Christianity at the center of world history. Will it remain near the center? Blainey’s narrative illustrates that Christianity’s history is a much-repeated story of ups and downs.

Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1860. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... APPENDICES. The following appendices are designed to show, by references longer than could be given in foot-notes, the manner in which the early Apologists maintained their cause. To have elaborated the whole would have required a number of volumes: I have therefore selected only some of the more striking points, and translated at large a few of the more important passages, that the theological student may see what rich ore is contained in the mine of early Apologistic litera'tore, and so be induced to dig therein for himself. Ep. I. 1. The Christian name. The name Christian was a term of reproach in the early ages of the faith, just as the Cross and the preaching of Cheist crucified were a stumbling-block unto many; and in consequence of the name they bore, they were subjected to treatment such as others did not experience. Against being condemned for a mere name, the Apologists stoutly and justly reclaimed. They demanded that the laws should be dealt out equally to all, and that the rights of citizenship and justice should not be overridden. Justin Maetye. "A mere name should be regarded as neither good nor bad, without the actions implied in it; although, as regards our name, which is alleged against us, we are the best of men " (xpmrrefafon, playing, as our author does, upon XP'nff-rbS and ixpvwrbs). " But as we should consider it unjust, if found guilty, to claim acquittal on the ground of our name; so, on the other hand, if we are found innocent as to the name we bear, and our manner of life and doctrines, it will be your duty to take heed lest, if punishing the guiltless, ye incur the vengeance of justice. For neither praise nor blame can reasonably arise from a name, unless either good or bad can be proved by actions. For ye punish no...
Book Synopsis Theophilus of Alexandria by : Norman Russell
Download or read book Theophilus of Alexandria written by Norman Russell and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-12-05 with total page 449 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Theophilus of Alexandria seems a minor figure today, it is because we persist in seeing him through the eyes of hostile contemporary witnesses, each of whom had his own reasons for diminishing Theophilus’ stature. In fact, he was one of the greatest bishops of the Theodosian era, who played an important role in a crucial phase of the Roman Empire’s transformation into a Christian society. Norman Russell's new assessment of Theophilus shows him as an able theologian, an expert ecclesiastical lawyer, a highly skilled orator and, surprisingly, a spiritual teacher. The introductory section examines his efforts to Christianize an Egypt still denominated by its great temples and his battles to maintain the pre-eminence of the Alexandrian Church in an age of rapid change. The texts, most of them translated into a modern language for the first time, reveal the full power and range of his thinking. Thoephilus of Alexandria brings back into focus a figure who has long been neglected in the study of early Christianity and will provide students and lecturers with a fresh perspective, not least through the translation of texts, for the first time, into English.
