Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Course of Christian History The history of Christianity is the story of the origin, prog ress and development of the Christian religion, and of its inﬂuence upon the world. Almost nineteen centuries have passed since Jesus Christ began his public ministry for the establishment of the religion which bears his name. Dur ing this long period Christianity has been more and more dominating the lives of men, illuminating their minds, strengthening them in their moral struggles, irradiating their hopes, making earth more tolerable and heaven more inviting and certain. The story of this growing and spread ing influence is the external history of Christianity. But as Christianity has expanded there has come con stant inner change. From the unity and simplicity of orig inal Christianity have developed the multiplicity of Chris tian sects with their varied forms of organization and wor ship, their divergent views of theology and the ordinances, their various types of Christian thought and life, as we see them to-day. The story of these changes is the inner his tory of Christianity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Gospel History and Its Transmission The ten Lectures contained in this volume were delivered in the spring of this year at the Passmore Edwards Settlement in London as the Jowett Lectures for 1906. I repeated them with very little change for my inaugural course at Cambridge as Norrisian Professor of Divinity, so that it seemed advisable to keep them in lecture form when they came to be printed. It is sometimes supposed that the result of modern historical criticism is to diminish the historical value of the Gospels. My own researches have made me believe that there is a much larger element of genuine history in the Canonical Gospels, than a general view of the tendencies which influenced Christendom during the first century and a half of its existence might have led one to anticipate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Christian History in Its Three Great Periods: Third Period Modern Phases I am not aware that any attempt has yet been made, for the religious student, to reconcile these opposing aspects in a single View. At all events, this Which might well appear the most important field in Christian history has not ordinarily been even surveyed in our courses of theological instruo tion. It would be too much to claim for the follow ing chapters that they aim to supply the want thus indicated. They are, however, an essay designed to show, in some detail, how that want should be met. Of the topics presented, five include the purely ecclesiastical or dogmatic phases of the Reformation Period, - that is, from 1500 to 1650; five trace the several lines followed since, in the direction of free thought and modern scholarship; While an in termediate chapter describes the bridge connecting the earlier and later, across a gulf that might seem impassable, - the passage from dogma to pure rea son. This mode of treatment may serve at least to hint what should (in my View) be the method pursued, to bring the more valuable lessons of our history Within hail of contemporary'thought.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Outline of Christian History: A. D. 50-1880 As to a plan of study, it is recommended that, in first going over the ground, the twelve chapters should be taken in as many lessons, studying only the part in larger type. The general scheme, or course of events, having thus been set clearly before the mind, it may then be best to select particular divisions, or periods, to be studied in more detail. If, for example, the first four chapters, and the four beginning with the Reformation, should be divided into t/zree lessons melt, the whole course would then occupy thirty-six lessons, or about the work of a single year; the rest being essential to the plan, but less important to be learned, and less easily illustrated from other sources. Still, it should be remembered, an epitome like this is not history. To make its lessons of any value, they need a broader interpretation than can possibly be given in such a manual. This book.

The starry heavens challenge study and interpretation, in the course of which difficult questions are likely to be raised, and upon these conﬂicting answers may be, and indeed often have been elicited. In like manner the Scriptures chal lenge study and interpretation. In many instances they suggest much more than they expressly state. What they give in the shape of historical facts is often fitted to serve as a basis for a whole train Of inferences respecting the divine kingdom. So the mind is sent off upon far-reaching paths.

Even in the face of advancing history, new findings, and changing perspectives, Dr. Baker’s original classic has remained popular decades beyond the normal life expectancy of a textbook. In this third edition, Dr. John Landers, a former student of Dr. Baker, builds on the original goal of helping students grasp the broad contours of Christian history without becoming lost in a maze of historical detail.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Growth of the Christian Church The chapters in these volumes have been framed With the thought that each of them should be the material for one meeting of a class. Thus there would be two courses of nine meetings each, or one course of eighteen meetings. The individual teacher or leader must decide whether or not his class will need more than one meeting. For any chapter. It will hardly be found advisable for a class of the age for which the book is primarily intended to take more than one chapter at a meeting. With more mature classes this might be done, though it is hoped that in every chapter there is enough for an hour's consideration by any class. Although Chapters XVII and XVIII are longer than the others, it will probably be found that students, coming to them after going through the earlier chapters, will be able to take each of them at one meeting. Unless the teacher is already somewhat familiar with church history, it is strongly advised that he read all that the class is to cover in the course be fore he prepares himself for the first meeting. To do this will make it much easier to handle the chapters as they come. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1976, Paul Johnson’s exceptional study of Christianity has been loved and widely hailed for its intensive research, writing, and magnitude—“a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical” (New York Review of Books). In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. Johnson takes off in the year AD 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known ‘Jesus Sect’, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity—and its trials and tribulations throughout history—has never before been contained in such a captivating work.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Christian Church, Vol. 5 Somewhat of an Offset to the concessions made by the State to the Church had place at least for a season, in consequence Of what has been named the Kulturkampf (as though it touched the general interests of culture or civilization), but which might quite as well be called the struggle with Romish clericalism. The extent to which the State, in the course of this struggle, was led to assume control over theological education, as also over other matters of immediate concern to the Church, was regarded by not a few Protestants as exceeding the just limits of secular authority. On the part of the State authorities themselves, it was rather a perplexing exi genoy, than a desire to magnify their own prerogatives, which dictated the restrictive legislation. To appreciate that exigency it will be necessary to glance for a moment at the origin and progress Of the contention.

Taken together, the two em brace the entire development of Catholic Christianity, coming down to the eve of the Reformation. Their plan requires for its completion a third volume, te viewing certain modern phases of religious life and thought, which is now in preparation. The series thus contains a general view, or outline, of the course of study indicated in the Introduction, which I have attempted to fill out in the University lecture-courses. Taken in connection with Hebrew Men and Times, which serves as preface, and Our Liberal Movement in Theology, which serves as sequel, it gives a simi lar outline of the great religious tradition that has come down to our own time.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning the Church: Course of Sermons I am induced to publish these Sermons in the hope that some of my brother clergy may think them not unsuited for reading in their Churches or for lending or recommending to their parishioners. To one who believes, as I do most firmly, that the Church is God's own society, His chosen instrument and organization for the regeneration of mankind through Christ, and the ordinary channel of His gifts of grace, few things are more distressing than the ignorance, and, I may add, indifference of so many Churchmen as to what this same Church, of which they are members, is; as to its raison d'etre, its principles and constitution and claims on their allegiance. As far as my experience extends, not one Churchman in a thousand can give a valid reason, as distinguished from mere preferences, for his Churchmanship, or even say, often as he professes his faith in it, what he "believes" about "the Holy Catholic Church."
