Excerpt from Christian Thought to the Reformation Man has no deeper or wider interest than theology; none deeper, for however much he may change, he never loses his love of the many questions it covers; and none wider, for under whatever law he may live he never escapes from its spacious shade; nor does he ever find that it speaks to him in vain or uses a voice that fails to reach him. Once the present writer was talking with a friend who has equal fame as a statesman and a man of letters, and he said, Every day I live, Politics, which are affairs of Man and Time, interest me less, while Theology, which is an affair of God and Eternity, interests me more. As with him, so with many, though the many feel that their interest is in theology and not in dogma. Dogma, they know, is but a series of resolutions framed by a council or parliament, which they do not respect any the more because the parliament was composed of ecclesiastically-minded persons; while the theology which so interests them is a discourse touching God, though the Being so named is the God man con ceived as not only related to himself and his world but also as rising ever higher with the notions of the self and the world. Wise books, not in dogma but in theology. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Principles of the Reformation: Practical and Historical I have ventured to collect these studies in the history and the practical principles of the Reformation, in the hope that they may do something to promote a better appreciation among us of the depth and grandeur of that great movement. They are the result of many years' study of the writings of Luther, and of the chief sources in Which the course of the movement is to be seen; and I hope that they Will be found to indicate some of the deep springs in human thought and experience which brought a new life to the Christian Church and to Europe at that time.

Excerpt from A History of the Christian Church During the Reformation The following Chapters are intended as the sequel and companion to 'A History of the Christian Church during the Middle Age.' The author had indulged the hope of giving this new portion to the public at a less distant interval, but found his progress constantly retarded by other duties and engagements. In traversing ground which furnishes so many topics, always full of deep and sometimes melancholy interest to the student of Church-history, he was actuated by the principles which guided him throughout the composition of the previous volume. His earnest wish has been to give the reader a trustworthy version of those stirring incidents which mark the Reformation-period; without relinquishing his former claim to characterise particular systems, persons, and events, according to the shades and colours they assume, when contemplated from an English point of view, and by a member of the Church of England.

Excerpt from The Reformation The Reformation itself was, moreover, not the beginning but the culminating stage of a great movement, of which the new political life of Europe, the unlocking of strange continents, and the re vival of learning were all equally parts. Religious reform was not the blossoming but the fruitage of a general unfettering of the human mind. But as the mediatval social system attained its highest per fection in the medieval Church, so the break with mediaevalism reached its intensest point of contest in the rejection of the limitations which medieval ecclesiastical authority had imposed and hence the Reformation is the crowning episode in that strug gle for freedom of thought which preceded the struggle for freedom in political action, and which, however imperfectly fought out, was the great con tribution of the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries to human progress.

Excerpt from Reformation Principles: Stated and Applied The Roman moralist, Terrence, said: I am a man, and nothing that concerns humanity is alien to my breast. The interests of the American people are hanging in the balance. The crisis in the conflict between the forces of good and evil in this land has come. And the parting sentiment of Horace Mann should ring out along the line: I beseech you to treasure up in your hearts these my parting words: Be ashamed to die until you have won some victory for humanity. Not long before the surrender of Gen. Lee at Appomatox, Gen. Sheridan wrote his chief, Gen. Grant, If things are pushed we can soon run down the enemy. Gen. Grant re plied, with characteristic brevity, Push things, then. The National Reform Association proposes to push things until this nation is in allegiance with the Lord Jesus Christ. The movement is to be made all along the line. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of the Reformation in the Sixteenth Century The author had no idea, however, of writing a book of devotion; his intention was to write a History. He wished to represent faithfully the men and the events of the Sixteenth Century. With this object he studied the writings of the Reformers, and the chronicles of their contemporaries. He made researches in the public and in the private libraries in different countries. He deciphered many manuscripts of the Sixteenth Century, several of which were unknown till he made use of them. But he felt that, in order to accomplish his object, it was not enough simply to give a chronicle of facts. That which constituted the great wonder of the Reformation, was the setting forth of God's truth in the midst of human error - the breath of heaven, that blew upon the Church, and quickened into life so many of the Lord's servants. To shut oneself into a study and pore over manuscripts, was not enough to enable him to write this History; it was necessary to know the true springs of the work, of which the Reformers were the instruments.

Excerpt from The Arrested Reformation This endeavour to deal with a difficult situation as well as with a perplexing problem, with this very definite and practical aim, is sent forth with the earnest prayer, in which surely multitudes are joining, that ere long we shall see a New Reforma tion which will be world-wide in its reach and will suffer no arrest. Even should it come in dis concerting or revolutionary ways there will be gladness everywhere if only it comes and comes quickly. The world is very weary without its rightful Lord.
