Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from College Lectures on Ecclesiastical History Question. (1) Who was the earliest Historian of the Christian Church? What do we know of his life and writings? (2) What other ancient Christian work was of an historical nature? Give some account of it. (3) What, independent of Eusebius, are the sources of early Ecclesiastical History? Answer. (l)Hegesippus: - originally a Jew, who had been converted to the Christian faith, and flourished about the year 170. "He wrote in five books an unsophisticated account of the Apostolical preaching in a very plain style." (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, IV. 22, 8. II. 23. St Jerome, Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Writers, c. 22.) The work has perished, except some fragments preserved by Eusebius and one more in Photius. They relate to the deaths of James and Simeon the first two Bishops of Jerusalem, E.H. II. 23. III. 32. Domitian´s enquiry after the posterity of David, III. 19, 20. His journey to Rome through Corinth - the origin of heresies - a notice of the Gospel of the Hebrews, and the unwritten traditions of the Jews. Adrian´s deification of his slave Antinous, IV. 22, 8. The fragment in Photius is a remark on Matt. xiii. 16. (2) "The Chronicle" of Julius Africanus, "in five books accurately written." (Eus. E.H. VI. 31.) "Julius Africanus, whose five books of Chronology are extant, in the time of the Emperor M. Aurelius Antoninus, successor of Macrinus, undertook an embassy for the restoration of Emmaus." Jerome, Cat. 63. He probably resided in Palestine, and flourished about A.D. 220. His Chronicle, now no longer extant in a separate form, is supposed to have been inserted in the works of later annalists.
