Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Church History The present volume is made up of a number of essays and reviews which have already been published in the pages of The Catholic World. They are for the most part summaries of important volumes on Church History and synopses of important articles in some of the leading French encyclopedias. Many of the questions discussed in these pages are continually being asked, by earnest seekers after the truth, through the medium of the Question Box on the Paul ist missions to non-catholics. Out of many volumes of typewritten questions actually submitted during the past seventeen years I find the following.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ... IX. DENOMIFATIONALISM. The denomination is a very commonplace and familiar fact to us of the present age. So much so that to many persons it does not seem to occur to make it a subject for special consideration. Occasionally we find it ajluded to in a way of reproach or objection. The Roman polemic, perhaps, cites it as proof of the discreditable and damaging divisions of Protestantism. The skeptic takes occasion from it, possibly, to urge that if there were anything in Christianity those who hold to it would find some way to agree better amongst themselves. The current phraseology often makes denominationalism and sectarianism interchangeable terms, and condemns both in one. Even members of the different denominations themselves, and ministers sometimes, seem, from the tone of their allusions to this subject, to admit what the critics thus charge; although it does not appear that their censure, or their criticism, like charity, "begins at home." How far is this view of the matter just? How far might facts in the history of this feature of our modern Christianity, and some study of the thing itself, qualify, or even correct these views of the Christian denomination as we find it to-day? In defining the denomination, we must The Denomination distinguish it in a certain way from state Denned., ?, .. J. establishments. The distinction cannot be carried out fully, because in some cases, as in the French Protestant societies, the two f onus of Christian organism may be said to shade into each other. Yet in the main the distinction is a just one. A voluntary principle is implied in the denomination which can of necessity have no place in religions established by law. Then, we are to distinguish between what we mean by a denomination and...
Book Synopsis A History of the Christian Church (Classic Reprint) by : Williston Walker
Download or read book A History of the Christian Church (Classic Reprint) written by Williston Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-12 with total page 654 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eminent church historian and theologian Professor Williston Walker gives us an authoritative and scholarly account on the progress of the church founded by Christ, aptly titled A History of the Christian Church. First published in 1918, this edition has since gone on to become one of the classics in Christian literature. It examines various periods that led to the establishment of the church and how the Reformation came about in light of the preceding events. The author begins this volume with a discussion on the general situation before proceeding to talk about Judaism, the rise of Jesus and his disciples, the end of the apostolic era and the development of Christianity in the second century AD. From Gnosticism at the beginning of the book, he ends with the eventual transition to the modern situation, tackling various subjects such as English Unitarianism, Methodism, Catholicism, and even American Christianity - religious denominations and divisions which remain relevant to this day. The exhaustive nature of Professor Walker's work shows his expertise in the subject and the extent of the research he has done to produce a classic historical account of superb quality. Students of religious studies, as well as those seeking enlightenment on the development of the modern Christian church will benefit much from this clearly written and comprehensive opus.

Book excerpt: This is the SCM Core Text: "Modern Church History" provides an introduction to global Christianity from 1700 to the mid 20th C. The book aims to help students understand the processes, movements and individuals who have contributed to making the contemporary Christian landscape the shape it is in the 21st century. Theologically it takes a wide and inclusive approach to provide a balanced survey of Christianity in all its forms - Protestant, Catholic and Orthodox. Geographically it focuses on the Christian church in the UK, continental Europe and North America, and examines in each location the social movements, campaigns and campaigners, scientific and political challenges that have shaped the Christian Church throughout the period.Beginning with the reaction to Lutherism, it charts the rise of Pietism in Europe throughout the late 17th and early 18th centuries, the influence of John Wesley and the Methodists, in the UK and the 'Great Awakening' in North America. The early chapters summarize the developments within the Christian Church in the UK, with detailed coverage of the English, Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish situations, throughout the 19th Century. This is followed by a summary of the various schools of thought to have developed through the 20th C, including the church's reaction to the 2 world wars in Europe, fundamentalism in the USA. The book also provides specific coverage of the religious situation in North America throughout the modern period covering the development of separate black churches, the 'New Evangelicalism'. It is suitable for level two as well as introductory courses in modern church history or courses concerned with religion, culture and society in the 18th - 20th centuries

Book Synopsis The Cross of Christ by : Otto Zoeckler
Download or read book The Cross of Christ written by Otto Zoeckler and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-02 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Cross of Christ: Studies in the History of Religion and the Inner Life of the Church A delineation, briefly presenting in its leading features the historic course of development which gave rise successively to these main forms and phases of the religion of the Cross, may, on account of the beauty and grandeur of its object, be regarded as secured against the suspicion of micrologic dul ness. The history of the Cross necessarily presents a reflected image of the history of Christianity itself, and indeed a more instructive and important one than any other similar contem plation, under the veil of an emblem, of the rise and growth of our religion hitherto, which might in any way be attempted. Specially upon a closer examination of its preparatory history - in the remarkable and partly enigmatical airy reflections which, in the form of so many a cruciform symbol upon the art monuments of the pre-christian as of modern Heathen dom, serve as heralds and precursors of the cultus of the Cross in the Christian Church - does our subject awaken interest in every one at all endowed with historic culture, and a sense for the appreciation of higher ethical endeavours and problems. The title Contribution to the Philosophy of History, pertains with unquestionable right to a treatment of the subject designed and executed from such standpoint; even though from time to time an indispensable entering into the details of the controversies with regard to the archeology of worship or of art, as also an examination of the more important phenomena of the dogmatic or mystic-ascetic literature bearing upon our subject, should occasion many deviations from the mode of treatment ordinarily prevailing in works on the philosophy of history.

Book Synopsis The Senior Teacher by : Phillip A. Nordell
Download or read book The Senior Teacher written by Phillip A. Nordell and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Senior Teacher: An Aid in Teaching the Senior Studies on the Modern Church The present course on The Modern Church follows in logical order the preceding Senior courses and completes The Completely Graded Series. The course on The Preparations for Christianity sketched the unfoldings of religious thought in the Old Testament and in the teachings of Christ. The course on Landmarks in Christian History gave an outline of the progress of Christianity from the Day of Pentecost to the present time. The course on The Conquering Christ showed how the forces latent in Christianity have been aroused during the past century and have entered on a religious conquest of the world. Obviously one more step is needed, namely, a study of the social organism in which Christianity is embodied and through which it operates for the physical, intellectual, spiritual, and social redemption of the world. That organism is the Modern Church. N 0 study of Biblical history and teachings, or of subsequent church history, can give any adequate conception of what organized Christianity is to-day as it faces the modern world perplexed by innumerable problems and torn by revolutionary forces that threaten the disorganization of society. These forces have also reacted powerqy upon the church. Old methods have been found inadequate for new conditions. In a hundred ways the Modern Church has been forced to abandon or recon struct its outworn machinery. New agencies outside of the church, but born of its spirit and moved by its ideals, have been created to carry on more effectively certain forms of work that the church could not do so well. The emphasis in Christian thought and effort has been transferred from salvation in the next world to salvation in this world The world is no longer looked upon as a vale of tears, a barren desert, a hovel which no temporary occupant whose eyes are fixed on the shining heavenly palace can think of wasting time in decorating. On the contrary, it is now recognized as God's world, a theater for the establishment of His kingdom, and therefore the subject of redemption, a place that offers splendid opportunities of service. The task of the church is no longer limited to preparing men for felicity somewhere among the stars, but for the highest self-realization and usefulness here and now. In adapting herself to the fulfilment of this new purpose the church is experiencing a transformation that would have astonished our fathers as much as the railway, the steamship, the telegraph, the telephone, and the wireless.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Church History: Mediaeval and Modern In the preparation of the bibliography advantage has been taken of the fact of the current publication of the Cambridge Mediwoal Hisiory, which will give to the English reader an admirably arranged list of works covering a large part of the matter dealt with in this handbook. In preparing his own bibliography the writer of this manual has felt, therefore, emanci pated from the necessity of following conventional lines. Some of the best-known books of earlier date are omitted simply because they are well known. Others, equally well known, are inserted because they are strong personal favorites. In certain cases orig inals have been inserted with the hope that the stu dent may be induced to read interesting examples of historic writings of other periods. Many of the titles in the bibliography are found there because it was desired to place before the reader some of the most important books in the field of church history pro duced within the last four or five years. Here again the selective process has been largely personal. Sub jects are introduced which appear to offer productive lines of research.

Book Synopsis A Guide to the Study of Church History (Classic Reprint) by : William Joseph McGlothlin
Download or read book A Guide to the Study of Church History (Classic Reprint) written by William Joseph McGlothlin and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Guide to the Study of Church History As the title indicates, this volume is intended to be a guide to students. It is not designed to take the place of larger works or render lecturing unnecessary, but to be a guide to the best known manuals and a basis for lecturing. The effort has been made to present the essentials of church history in a form so compact as to appeal to the eye and be easily remembered, and at the same time to direct the student to wider reading on the various subjects. For this purpose, four of the best known manuals, representing different confessional view-points, those of Newman (Baptist), Hurst (Methodist), Kurtz (Lutheran) and Alzog (Catholic), have been selected for constant reference, with occasional references to Schaff, Moeller and other works. No attempt has been made to refer to a wide range of works. The student who is passing through the vast field of Church History for the first time can find enough to do with the references given. As he advances he can easily enlarge his bibliography. In order to secure brevity there have been frequent abbreviations of words and condensations of sentences, but it is believed that no obscurity has resulted. The needs of students in theological seminaries have been steadily in mind, but it is hoped that others may find the work of value.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Church, Vol. 1 of 3 It gives the translators great pleasure to be able to place within reach of the English-speaking community, and the student of theology, the classical text-book of Church History of the Rev. John alzoe, D.D., Professor of Theology at the University of Freiburg. The want of such a book has been long felt and much deplored bv scholars generally, and by educators in particular. These acknowledge that Church History is, for the theologian, not simply a very valuable aid, but rather an independent science, and the foundation of his other ecclesiastical studies; and that even the profane historian, the jurist, the statesman, the man of letters, the artist, the philosopher, can not, for evident reasons, dispense with it.

This is stated, partly, that he may connect them with a city and people he will always love, and, partly, that he may thus most simply define their real character and limits. They are not exhaustive and critical discussions on the Gospel History, but, at most, attempts at orientation - at reach ing points of view from which the life of Christ may be understood and construed.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Church History, Vol. 1 of 2 May be considered a probable fact, the episcopate of Peter a questionable explanation of his presence at Rome, and its twenty-five years' range a fable confuted by the Scripture history itself. The statement that the Apostles suffered in the fourteenth year of Nero need not clash with Tacitus' record of the attack on mm the Christians in his tenth year. A per scontion, at first prompted by Nero's desire to attach the stigma of the great fire to the already odious sect of Christians, may have begun in an. 64 and continued with intermissions till the emperors death in a.d. 68. The accounts represent Nero's victims as suffering fearful cruelties. They were crucified, cast to wild beasts in the arena, and even smeared with pitch and burnt as living torches to light the public gardens. It is uncertain whether the persecution extended beyond Rome. N 0 other is recorded till that of Domitian.
