Book Synopsis The Patient Ferment of the Early Church by : Alan Kreider
Download or read book The Patient Ferment of the Early Church written by Alan Kreider and published by Baker Academic. This book was released on 2016-03-29 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How and why did the early church grow in the first four hundred years despite disincentives, harassment, and occasional persecution? In this unique historical study, veteran scholar Alan Kreider delivers the fruit of a lifetime of study as he tells the amazing story of the spread of Christianity in the Roman Empire. Challenging traditional understandings, Kreider contends the church grew because the virtue of patience was of central importance in the life and witness of the early Christians. They wrote about patience, not evangelism, and reflected on prayer, catechesis, and worship, yet the church grew--not by specific strategies but by patient ferment.

How did Christianity become one of the most widespread religions as well as one of the most influential forces in world history that has shaped politics, wars, literature, art, and music on every continent? This book contains more than 40 entries on various topics in early Christianity, 15 primary documents, and 6 argumentative essays written by scholars in the field. The breadth of materials enables readers to learn about early Christianity from a number of different viewpoints and to come to their own conclusions about how historical events unfolded in early Christianity. This single-volume work focuses on the first four centuries of early Christianity, including topics on Jerusalem, Herod the Great, Paul, Tertullian, Mani, The Arians, Constantine the Great, and many others. Readers will be well equipped to answer three critical questions that scholars of early Christianity deal with when they study this period: Why was Christianity popular? Why were Christians persecuted? How did Christianity spread?

Book Synopsis Christianity Through the Ages by : Kenneth Scott Latourette
Download or read book Christianity Through the Ages written by Kenneth Scott Latourette and published by Harper San Francisco. This book was released on 1965 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Here is an attempt to tell in brief compass the history of Christianity. Christianity is usually called a religion. As a religion it has had a wider geographic spread and is more deeply rooted among more peoples than any other religion in the history of mankind. Both that spread and that rootage have been mounting in the past 150 years and especially in the present century. The history of Christianity, therefore, must be of concern to all who are interested in the record of man and particularly to all who seek to understand the contemporary human scene. - Preface.

Book Synopsis The Early Church: from Ignatius to Augustine by : George Hodges
Download or read book The Early Church: from Ignatius to Augustine written by George Hodges and published by . This book was released on 2017-04 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a detailed history of the first four centuries of the Christian Church. Important topics include the struggle between Christianity and Pagan Rome, early persecutions, early heresies, and the establishment of monasticism in both the Greek-speaking east, and the West. The Arian controversy is explained in detail, and the life stories of many of the early church fathers are introduced.George Hodges, D.D. DC.L, LL.D. (1856-1919), was a very influential Episcopal clergyman. Born in Rome, New York and educated at Hamilton College, Hodges spent the early part of his career in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, serving as rector at Calvary Church from 1881 to 1894. In 1894 he was called to be dean of the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a post he held until his untimely death in the influenza epidemic of 1919. As one of the early leaders of the social gospel, he was involved in several philanthropic and ecumenical movements. A prolific author, he wrote many books and articles, mostly for the general reader rather than for a scholarly audience. Although he wrote on a great variety of topics, some having to do with contemporary issues, his most enduring works were those published for young people, on historical and bibilical topics. His first book for children was written for his own Sunday-school classes while he was a pastor in Pittsburgh. His typewritten lessons about the life of Christ were so popular they were expanded, put into book form, and published in 1904 as When the King Came: Stories from the Four Gospels. This book was wonderfully well written, demonstrating Hodges' great talent for storytelling. As one bishop said: "It is a real story, as full of imagination as a fairy tale, as true to fact as history." The book was such a success, Hodges was soon asked to prepare lessons from the Old Testament as well. These Bible stories for children were first printed in The Ladies Home Journal, but later were published in book form, as The Garden of Eden, and The Castle of Zion. He published one other two volume set for children. The first volume, Saints and Heroes to the End of the Middle Ages, gives the lives of twenty early heroes of Christianity. The second volume, Saints and Heroes Since the Middle Ages traces the lives of fourteen later heroes, predominately Protestant heroes from the Reformation era. Also of interest to the general reader are his books on Church history, including The Early Church, from Ignatius to Augustine, which offers a very interesting account of the growth of the Christian church under the Roman Empire, and The Episcopal Church which traces the history of the Church of England from the Reformation to modern times. Andr� de Thevet (1516 - 23 November 1590) was a French Franciscan priest, explorer, cosmographer and writer
