Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Holy Catholic Church: The Communion of Saints, With Notes and Supplementary Essays on the History of Christian Fellowship and the Origin of the High Church and Broad Church Theories My aim in these pages is to present, clearly and convincingly, the true idea of the Christian Church. I have neither evolved it out of my own consciousness, nor constructed it according to the systems of uninspired men, but have betaken myself directly, and confined myself exclusively, to the only authoritative and trustworthy instructors - Christ and His Apostles; referring to other teachers for confirmation only, as they simply elicit the meaning of the sacred text, or in refutation of unwarrantable interpretations, or exposure of polemical interpolations or manipulations of Holy Writ. This latter part of the work has been the only unpleasant part. If in clearing away arbitrary theories, which have long overlain the yet perfect outline of the Temple of God, I have sometimes shown too much directness and incisiveness, it must be remembered that the task of the excavator is rough work, and that the Divine idea of the Church has lain for ages like some grand temple in the desert, entombed in the sand-drifts of centuries. A great weight was taken from my mind by a mild complaint in the current London Quarterly Review, that the lecture, as delivered, did not "present more directly the specific Methodist idea of tho Church." The one thing which, above all others I dreaded, deprecated and watched against, was the very thing which, it seems, I was expected to do, namely, to give a specific Denominational idea of the Church. This presentation of the specific idea of some particular Denomination has been the fatal flaw of all the ablest books upon the Church, from Belarmine, Hooker, and Field, to M´Nile and Goulburn. If I had understood that to be my duty, I should have declined the task without a moment´s hesitation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
