Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ancient Church: Its History, Doctrine, Worship, and Constitution, Traced for the First Three Hundred Years It is not to be wondered at that in an age which busies itself about the beginnings of things, there should be given renewed attention to the early history of the Christian Church. They who deem religious life in a decaying state must find it difficult to reconcile with their view the amount of learning and of mental activity devoted to this department of knowledge. If the law of demand and supply works with the uniformity commonly ascribed to it, there never were so many persons as in our time keenly interested in the Genesis of the Christian Church. In England, in Germany, even in France, and in our own country, the foremost minds are occupied with questions regarding the institutions, the development, and the early struggles of a community now making itself felt in every part of the world where there is any intellectual life, or indeed any human activity. It is not surely presumptuous to hope that permanent good will come from so many minds being brought again into contact with the Son of God on earth, and with His apostles, at that crisis of human history when their words and their deeds were the germs of permanent and blessed institutions. It is the special commendation of History, that it widens the field of our observation, and enables us to see how great principles - which, like great bodies, move slowly - work themselves out in congenial results. It would have been difficult, probably, to convince a well-to-do young Hebrew in the later years of Solomon´s reign, when the precious metals were as stones in the street, when foreign fashions were ruling society in Jerusalem, that God-fearing was essential to prosperity, and that the religion of the fathers must be maintained in order to national dignity and prosperity.
