Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Outline Lectures on Church History and History of Doctrine: For Use by the Students of Newton Theological Institutions The New Testament leaves us with a divine revelation completed, a Church organized, and its spiritual activities in full force under apostolic guidance. Great questions suggest themselves to a thoughtful reader: - 1. Can the new religion overcome opposing forces, subdue vices, and uproot errors? 2. Can it change the character of individuals and of society? 3. Can it assimilate all good forces as allies and helpers? 4. Can it hold the ground gained, and retain its spiritual force untouched of internal decay? Church history helps us to answer these questions: - 1. It conquered civilized Paganism, and assumed control of the Roman Empire. It conquered barbarian Paganism (the Gothic and Scandinavian tribes), and introduced through them a new civilization into Europe. 2. It transmuted individual character, and developed specimens of the noblest manhood of the race. It renovated entire communities, and formed the best social life known in history. The apologists lay great stress on the influence of Christianity in elevating character, as a reason for toleration. 3. It appropriated philosophy, literature, art, commerce, business, education to its uses. The great preachers of the early Church - Chrysostom, Basil, Gregory Nazianzen, Augustine - were enriched with all the learning of their age.
