Book Synopsis New Short History of the Catholic Church by : Norman Tanner
Download or read book New Short History of the Catholic Church written by Norman Tanner and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2011-04-21 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is a one-volume history of the Christian people from Pentecost to the present day, with principal focus on the Catholic Church. Having passed AD 2000 it seems appropriate and necessary to have a new short history of the first two millennia of the Christian era. In the last half century there has been a massive amount of research into Church history, published in learned articles and in multi-volume works. Full notice is taken of these recent scholarly initiatives in writing this short account, which is also eminently readable. In each section there is a balance between the institutional and the more directly religious dimensions of the Church - here are some of the elements: bishops, canon law, charity, councils crusades, devotions, heresies, laity, liturgy, martyrs, missionaries, parishes, pilgrimages, popes, prayer, priesthood, religious orders, sacraments, schools, theologians, universities and the vita consacrata. The scope is wide; the pace of the narrative is attractive.

Book Synopsis A Short History of Christianity by : Stephen Tomkins
Download or read book A Short History of Christianity written by Stephen Tomkins and published by Lion Books. This book was released on 2012-09-12 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worshipped by 2 billion Christians (and revered by 1.3 billion Muslims), Jesus Christ is the most famous human being ever. Yet how did this man from an obscure backwater in the Roman Empire achieve such extraordinary acclaim? How did religion founded in his name grom to become the most powerful on earth? What has been its relationship through history with that other giant of religions, Islam? In this fast-paced and entertaining book, journalist and historian Stephen Tomkins sets out to provide the answers. Beginning with the life of Jesus, he presents a warts-and-all portrait of the key people, events and movements in Christian history. For every debauched pope, murderous crusader and hate-filled inquisitor, there are glorious examples of heroic self-sacrifice, spiritual enlightenment and social transformation. Despite setbacks and conflict, the church has continued to change and grow, with the result that, at the start of the 21st century, its centre of gravity is moving south into sub-Saharan Africa and South America. The author ends by looking to the future, for the story is far from over. All those wanting to understand where Christianity is going need to learn where it has come from, and in this book they will find a lively and informative guide.

Book Synopsis A Short World History of Christianity, Revised Edition by : Robert Bruce Mullin
Download or read book A Short World History of Christianity, Revised Edition written by Robert Bruce Mullin and published by Westminster John Knox Press. This book was released on 2014-11-22 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Church historians have long known and appreciated Christianity's global history. Until recently, however, introductory textbooks on the history of Christianity focused almost exclusively on Europe and North America. Robert Bruce Mullins's A Short World History of Christianity, by contrast, offers a panoramic picture of the history of Christianity in its Western and non-Western expressions. It tells the story of the early church in the Greek East as well as the Latin West; of Christianity's spread into Asia as well as Europe during the Middle Ages; and its explosion around the world during the modern period. Mullins's highly readable narrative explores why global perspectives have emerged so strongly in our understanding of the story of Christianity and how they have impacted Christianity's perspective on its place in the world. This newly revised edition adds information on such global phenomena as early Syriac-speaking Christianity; the growth of Pentecostalism around the world, especially in the southern hemisphere; and recent trends in Christianity, including the elevation of the first pope born in the Americas. A time line of key dates, call-out boxes, and other helpful study materials are also provided. Beginning students will appreciate this memorable introduction to the most important events in the history and development of Christianity.

Book Synopsis A Short History of the Mass by : Alfred McBride
Download or read book A Short History of the Mass written by Alfred McBride and published by Franciscan Media. This book was released on 2006 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the Last Supper, to the Mass of the Apostles, from house churches to medieval cathedrals, from the Tridentine Mass to the sweeping reforms of Vatican II, the Mass has undergone many changes in two thousand years. Yet, for Catholics, the Mass is the source and summit of our faith and remains, at its core, eternally unchanged and unchanging.

With dozens of illustrations, McBride offers a clear explanation for those new to the Mass and a deep revelation for those well-acquainted with it.

The Civil War--Anxieties concerning Church Unity--They are resolved--The Pan-Anglican Synod--The Prayer Book--Subsidence of Party Spirit--A Bishop's Pastoral Analysed--Canons of the Church--Organisation--Conclusion. The great Civil War in the States, which began in 1861 and closed in the spring of 1865, caused grave fears that a permanent separation would result between the Church in the Northern and Southern States. Happily the fears were not realised. Before that terrible episode in American history not a ripple had been produced in the deliberations of the Church by any political agitation. "When, as the result of the war, the dioceses of the South could no longer meet in council with those of the North, the former, not THE CIVIL WAR OF 1861. 113 knowing what the result of the war would be, nor how long it would last, deemed it necessary to organise an independent Council, but did so in the following thoughtful terms: ' We are forced by the Providence of God to separate ourselves from the Protestant Episcopal Church of the United States--a Church with whose doctrine, discipline, and worship, we are in entire harmony, and with whose action up to the time of separation we were abundantly satisfied.' During these years of anguish it was a consolation to both portions of the American Church that she had not in the least degree been the cause of the strife. And in consequence, as soon as the war ceased, a correspondence was opened between the Bishops of the North and the South, of the most fraternal character. The names of the Southern Bishops had never been dropped from the roll of the House of Bishops in the United States. Their seats had always been I ready for them when they returned to occupy them. In the autumn of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short History of the Church in the United States 1. Europe in the Sixteenth Century was in convulsion. The Reformation had already stirred England to its centre by the fearless labors of Wyclif, while Huss of Bohemia had uttered a cry of warning which was heard throughout the Continent and awakened fear in Rome. These reformatory movements reacted on the political life of all the central nations. Not a throne was safe where the new religious revolt was in full force. The entire sixteenth century was a period of universal disturbance. The progress of reform provoked violent hostility, and every land was divided into factions. There were three general grades of sentiment. One class, receiving its inspiration from Rome, wished to continue the old order, with the Pope as practical sovereign.
