Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Early Church History: To the Death of Constantine The first issue having been exhausted in less than eighteen months, a second edition is now presented to the reader. The whole work has been revised with much care, many parts have been amplified, and some have been recast. Acknowledgments are due for suggestions to several friendly reviewers in the current periodicals. The chief new feature in the present edition is the introduction of the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles, a treatise of the Primitive Church recently discovered at Constantinople, and published whilst our History was passing through the press. The treatise will be found entire, with some introductory remarks, at page 117, where it forms an Appendix to Part I. The interval which elapsed between the close of the New Testament and the rise of a Church literature sufficient for the construction of history, must of necessity be to us for the most part a silent period. From the bright flood of morning light which is shed upon the Apostolic age we pass into a dim twilight, broken only by occasional gleams casting but an uncertain ray upon the Church´s progress. To these scanty sources of historic light, the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles is a very welcome addition. It bears witness to the change which during the silent period was advancing over the Church. The worship, the services, the ministers, were losing the simplicity of earlier days, and assuming that ritualistic and priestly character, which we find, not indeed fully developed, yet unmistakably present, in the pages of Justin Martyr, of Irenæus, and of Tertullian. In the Teaching of the Twelve Apostles we view the Church in a transition state, when the seeds of some corruptions are already manifest, but much of the primitive simplicity is still retained.
