Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dangers of the Apostolic Age The dangers of the Christian Church in the Apostlic age, as they are revealed to us in the New Testament, seem to me to have been mainly the three following. (I) The danger that the Church might be narrowed, in its doctrine and practice, by the determination of the Judaizing party within it to insist that all should enter it by the way of circumcision, and that all should hold their right of membership only on condition of observing the whole Law of Moses. This party looked upon the Gospel as a reformed and spiritualized edition of the Law, and upon the Christian Church as a somewhat liberalized form of the ancient Jewish communion. Had these pretensions been admitted, every Gentile, in order to become a Christian, must first practically have become a Jew, and have taken upon himself all the burdensome obligations of the Mosaic law. To such requirements the Gentile world would never have submitted, and the Church would have been strangled in its cradle.
