Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Church and Modern Christianity In the following pages an attempt is made to place in its true light the present position Of the Catholic Church in reference to the various other religious denominations. This attempt was suggested by the striking fact, that, even in this age of universal toleration, the Christian world is still divided into two hostile camps, between which there seems to be an irreconcilable opposition. On the one side stands arrayed in solitary grandeur the Old historic Church, that has come down to us across the ages unchanged, even as the name which she bears; whilst on the other are gathered the various Churches which have Sprung up in more recent times, and are classed under the generic term Of Protestant ism Churches that are indeed at variance among themselves as regards important points of do'ctrine, yet rally around a common stand ard in their Opposition to Catholic views and practices. This Opposition needs explanation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2010-01-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Disgraceful collusion. Heroic resistance. Suppression of faith. Perseverance of convictions. The story of Christianity in twentieth-century Eastern Europe is often told in stark scenes of tragedy and triumph. Overlooked in the retelling of these dramas is how the region's clergy and lay believers lived their faith, acted within religious and political institutions, and adapted their traditions---while struggling to make sense of a changing world. The contributors to this volume, coming from the U.S. and Western and Eastern Europe, look beyond the narratives of resistance and collaboration. They offer surprising new evidence from archives and oral history interviews, and they provide fresh interpretations of Christianity as it was lived and expressed in modern Europe: from religiosity in the industrial cities of the late nineteenth century to current debates over immigration and European identity; from theological debates in East Germany to folk healing in post-socialist Bulgaria; and, counter-intuitively, from religious fervor among the Czechs to indifference among the Poles. Addressing Christianity in diverse forms---Orthodox, Protestant, Roman and Greek Catholic---as an integral part of the region's politics, society, and culture, this collection is a major addition to studies of both Eastern Europe and religion in the twentieth century. "A volume that specialists in the history of Christianity in other regions of the world will read with great interest, and a degree of envy. As an historian of religion in Western Europe, I can say that although there is a vast literature on the religious history of the nineteenth century and a growing literature on the twentieth century, there is nothing quite like this." From the Foreword by Hugh McLeod, author of The Religious Crisis of the 1960s. "This is a path-breaking book in two different ways. It contributes to the re-evaluation of the nature of modern European religion generally, and to the nature of religion in the modern world." Jeffrey Cox, University of Iowa, author of Imperial Fault Lines: Christianity and Colonial Power in India.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Modern Christianity: Or the Plain Gospel Modernly Expounded To whom the sermons herein contained were preached, as, judging from their prefaces, is usually the case with volumes of printed sermons. It is published so as to preserve, in a form more permanent than the spoken word, certain things which I have felt moved to utter, which do not seem to me to have been altogether said by others. The sermons here published do not for mally constitute a body of theology, but they have been selected and arranged with a view to presenting, in some sort of sequence, and with some regard to the due pro portion of emphasis, the essentials of Christianity the Incarnation, the Resurrection, the Ascension, and the re-incamation, if I may so put it, of the spirit of Jesus in His followers. I think I may claim that the doctrine expressed in these sermons is ancient orthodox, and Catholic; but the mode of statement 18 modern, and the emphasis doubtless different from that to which some of my hoped for readers are accustomed. Not my self a good reader of sermons, nor even always a good listener, I have hesitated long in publishing my mate rial in sermon form; but after careful consideration I have concluded that it will be on the whole more intel ligible to and more readable by my desired public in.

And the Abbé Loisy's epoch making book, The Gospel and the Church, serve to mark on opposite sides the progress of modern theo logical thought. Both in their similarities and by their contrasts these two books may help an in quirer find his way amid the confusions of new biblical investigations to clearer appreciations of the origins and values Of Christian institutions and be liefs. The two conceptions of Christianity which are presented in these volumes confront each other like separate cliffs; if one takes his stand at the top Of either of them he will find no bridge across to the other; but if he follows the way which runs between them at the bottom, he will be led out to a larger conception of Christianity in which their separation disappears. Fundamentally, the revolt of Hamack from received Protestant dogmatism, and the protest of Loisy against Official Romanism, have, more than at first may appear, a common ground in historical.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic's Ready Answer: A Popular Vindication of Christian Beliefs and Practices Against the Attacks of Modern Criticism In the pursuit of these aims we have not been unaware that our book has been gradually assuming the character of a new work instead of being simply an English version of the old one. If this, has been, in some sense, inevitable, and if it compasses the object we have had 1n View, our act of contrition for having tampered with the able work of a skilled controversialist will perhaps be somewhat qualified. Both in the original and in the English adaptation the work, though chieﬂy polemical in its scope, does not strictly confine itself to controversy, but endeavors to inculcate right notions of individual duty, especially as bearing on situations in which conscientious persons often find them selves in the very complex life of the present age. This is particularly the case in the articles on Mixed Marriages, Divorces, Labor Unions, and Education, which we trust will be helpful to those whose principles are in danger of being warped under the inﬂuence of their environment.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Rome in Many Lands, 1903: A Survey of the Roman Catholic Church With an Account of Some Modern Roman Developments It is not intended or desired in this book to attack the Roman Catholic Church, or in any way to bring a railing accusation against Roman Catholics. Only two objects have been kept steadily in view. First, to give a fair and unbiassed account of the exaggerations and distortions of Christian doctrine, which have been produced partly by giving heed to the visions and hallucinations of overwrought ascetics, and partly by scholastic subtleties, deducing and sub-deducing, refining and arguing, until at last a totally false superstructure of dogma has been reared up on the smallest possible foundation of inference from simple truth. Secondly, to show that throughout the whole Roman Church, in every civilised country, in both the old and new world, there is a movement towards better things. Reform is in the air. In German-speaking lands thousands have joined the Los von Rom movement. In France, hundreds of priests have thrown off the yoke of the Papacy. In Spain, Portugal, Italy, Brazil, Argentina, and other countries, Protestant places of worship have been erected, where none were in existence a quarter of a century ago.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Holy Catholic Church: The Communion of Saints; A Study in the Apostles Creed This book contains the substance of courses of lectures given at Cambridge in 1913-14 to classes consisting chiefly of candidates for the ministry of the Church of England. There are few questions of more practical importance to Christian people, whether clergy or laity, than those which are raised by a study of the character, the work, and the functions of the Catholic Church. Upon the answer which we give to those questions depends our attitude, as individuals, towards the great society of which we are members. It determines for each of us whether he shall march in the war against sin and unbelief as a soldier in the army of Christ, under the command of its officers, conscious of the honour and the joy of serving in the ranks of a trained and disciplined force; or as an irresponsible adventurer, brave and loyal at heart, but a member of an irregular company, which follows no leaders but such as are chosen by itself.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Church Alone, the One True Church of Christ: Sumptuously Illustrated With Famous Paintings by the Great Masters Now, if we see such perverse zeal in the ministers of Satan to spread, by all possible means, their doctrines, with what zeal should not Christians, and especially Christian Pastors, be moved to make known the Gospel truths, and repeat them in season and out of season, regardless of fastidious minds which are displeased when a priest repeats a thing and goes over old, but necessary ground again. What, exclaims St. Francis dc Sales, what, is it not necessary, in working iron, to heat it over and over again, and in painting to touch and retouch the canvas repeatedly? How much more necessary is it to repeat the same thing again and again, in order to imprint eternal truths on hardened intellects, and on hearts confirmed in evil: St. John, the Baptist, and the Apostle St. Paul spoke from their prison walls; St. Peter spoke freely and forcibly before the ancients, saying that it is better to obey God than men; and the Apostle St. Andrew spoke from the wood of the cross. When in Japan, St. Francis Xavier climbed mountains, and exposed himself to innumerable dangers, to seek out those wretched barbarians in the caverns where they dwelt like wild beasts, and to instruct them in the truths of salvation. St. Francis de Sales, in the hope of converting the heretics of the province of Chablais, risked his life by crossing a river every day for a year, on his hands and knees, upon a frozen beam, that he might reach and preach to those stubborn men. St. Fidelis, in order to bring the heretic of a certain place back to God, cheerfully offered up his life for their salvation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Counter Reformation, Catholic Reformation, the Baroque Age, the Tridentine Age, the Confessional Age: why does Catholicism in the early modern era go by so many names? And what political situations, what religious and cultural prejudices in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries gave rise to this confusion? Taking up these questions, John O'Malley works out a remarkable guide to the intellectual and historical developments behind the concepts of Catholic reform, the Counter Reformation, and, in his felicitous term, Early Modern Catholicism. The result is the single best overview of scholarship on Catholicism in early modern Europe, delivered in a pithy, lucid, and entertaining style. Although its subject is fundamental to virtually all other issues relating to sixteenth- and seventeenth-century Europe, there is no other book like this in any language. More than a historiographical review, Trent and All That makes a compelling case for subsuming the present confusion of terminology under the concept of Early Modern Catholicism. The term indicates clearly what this book so eloquently demonstrates: that Early Modern Catholicism was an aspect of early modern history, which it strongly influenced and by which it was itself in large measure determined. As a reviewer commented, O'Malley's discussion of terminology opens up a different way of conceiving of the whole history of Catholicism between the Reformation and the French Revolution.
