History of the Church, From Its First Establishment to Our Own Times

Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from History of the Church, From Its First Establishment to Our Own Times: Designed for the Use of Ecclesiastical Seminaries and Colleges The object of the present work will require but little explanation: it is to supply what is believed to be an acknowledged deficiency. This brief outline of ecclesiastical history, intended for the use of students in colleges and theological seminaries as an introductory to the important study of Church History, has arisen out of a course of lectures which, for several years, I delivered in the Provincial Seminary at St. Francis, near Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The repeated requests of my fellow-professors and of the seminarians attending these lectures at length prevailed upon me to publish them in a connected and enlarged form for a wider circle. That there exists a real need of a good English text-book on Church History, suited for theological students and more advanced pupils, seems to be generally conceded. A writer in the Catholic Literary Circular of London, April, 1882, observes: "We are behindhand in many departments of literature; but in none, probably, is the dearth of readable books more saddening than in this one subject of ecclesiastical history. The English version of Alzog is cumbersome and unfinished; Reeve has made his work so intolerably dreary, that it would be folly to hope for any good as the result of such a book; the translation of Dollinger leaves many centuries untouched. The ordinary Catholic student, therefore, who wants information on questions belonging to ecclesiastical history and is not master of foreign languages, must drink at such poisoned sources as Stephen, or the translations of Ranke and Neander." Other leading periodicals, such as The Dublin Review and The American Catholic Quarterly Review, express themselves to the same effect. "Manuals are needed for the use of institutions, which, while leaving truth intact, shall put aside all that is harmful to youth and serve to aid and extend historical studies." (His Holiness Pope Leo XIII., in his letter of August 18, 1883, to Cardinals de Luca, Pitra, and Hergenroether.)
