Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ignatian Difficulties and Historic Doubts: A Letter to the Very Rev. The Dean of Peterborough The learned and acute (scharfsinnige) performance of the much-lamented Bishop Lightfoot has not altered my judgment in this respect. I agree with you fully in the view that the representation of the power of the bishops is incompatible with a writing of the second century." We have here the matured judgment of a divine, as far removed from the teaching of the Tubingen school as the Bishop himself, and whose study of the writings of the Apostolic Fathers began still earlier than his, and has probably been more continuous. It cannot be expected that any new documentary evidence, such as is daily discovered in the domain of modern history, can throw a fresh light upon the history of the primitive Church, involved as it is in the gloom of three centuries of conflict and persecution. The oldest of our ecclesiastical historians could only gather up a few fragments of its earlier records, and many of these are not trustworthy. The notices we find in the Apologists give little help to the student who desires to obtain a clear view of the external and internal state of the Church while it was passing through alternations of persecution and toleration into the stage of endowment, and finally reaching the dignity of an established faith - a dignity too dearly bought by the sacrifice of the peace and simplicity which constituted its best and most precious inheritance.
