This two volume set, first published in 1826, takes the reader from the birth of Christ through the 1700's. The two volumes cover the persecution of the early church under the pagan Emperors of Rome. The author tells of Emperor Constantine (who professed to be a Christian) undertaking "...to convert the kingdom of Christ into a kingdom of this world, by exalting the teachers of Christianity to the same state of affluence...in the empire, as had been enjoyed by Pagan priests. What followed was the kingdom of the clergy, supplanting the kingdom of Jesus Christ". The author goes on to explain the power play which arose among the clergy over a period of several hundred years, and how this ultimately resulted in the first Pope. These two volumes of Church History which are authenticated by direct quotes from early historians, enlighten our understanding of the condition of the Christian Church today. Kivar Covers, tougher and longer life than leather.

This second volume begins with a Section on the religion of the people. The clergy offered the liturgical services, sermons, evangelistic missions, and the offices sanctifying birth, marriage, and death; distinctions are made between what they intended and how their ministrations werepopularly interpreted and incorporated into the social order. Statistical soundings concerning the extent of religious practice and the degree of conviction involved are evaluated. Further chapters deal with processions, pilgrimages, and popular practices and superstitions, with hermits andconfraternities, with the impact of reading the Bible and other edifying literature in an age of increasing literacy. Finally comes a view of the twilight world of magic and sorcery. Throughout this Section the comments of theologians and thinkers of the Enlightenment are recorded, whether incoincidence or contradiction. The next section deals with the efficacy of the confessional and the role of the casuistry of the Church in attempting to mould sexual mores, business practices, and in the world of the theatre. In the next two Sections, the role of religious issues in political affairs is detailed. An overview of the Jansenist quarrel and of the activities of the Jesuits brings in the story of the struggle between Crown and Parlement, while an extended portrayal of the life of the Protestant and Jewishcommunities leads to the history of the debate on toleration, involving the Gallican Church in political interventions and controversy. Throughout the two volumes the rising forces of anticlericalism and the tensions within the ecclesiastical establishment have been recorded, and these themes come to their climax in a final section on the role played by churchmen in the coming of the Revolution.
