Excerpt from The Apostolic Age of the Christian Church, Vol. 2 This relation can be deduced from the attitude of the Jewish Christians to Gentile Christianity. The great concession, which was certainly granted to the apostle Paul, could hardly fail to result in a firmer adherence to their own position of fidelity to the law. But, besides, we have to remember that at least a considerable portion of the Church had not supported the concession, and had certainly afterwards not agreed to it. This party now naturally exerted their influence all the more strongly, and indeed used some degree of compulsion, in the same direction. Thus even the events in Antioch are explained. As regards the further course of events, however, we must not forget, to begin with, that we have to consider, not merely the principles of Peter on the one hand, and of James on the other, but that those zealots for the law and against Gentile Christianity without law, formed, side by side with them, an independent party, which hardly felt itself bound by what had taken place.

Excerpt from Christianity in the Apostolic Age A history of Christianity in the Apostolic Age should begin with an account of the life and teachings of our Lord. In the series, however, to which the present work belongs a separate volume has been assigned to The Life of Jesus, and intrusted to the competent hand of Professor Rhees. I have therefore only touched upon the post-resurrection period, so far as it was necessary to set forth the immediate origin of apostolic Christianity.

Excerpt from The Apostolic Age The labour of translation has been lightened by much kindness and help received from various friends, to whom my acknowledgments are due. Professor von Dobschutz has taken great interest in the translation of his work into English, and both by correspondence and in conversation has been ever ready to give me the benefit of his advice and co-operation. I have also had the advantage of talking over a number of points with my friend Mr. G. G. Berry, while I have drawn freely, and never in vain, upon the theological learning of my friend Rev. H. D. A. Major, Vice-Principal of Ripon Clergy College, with the result that the translation has greatly benefited by his suggestions.

Excerpt from History of Christianity in the Apostolic Age The scope of the present volume is sufficiently indi cated by its title. It has been my endeavor in writing a history of Christianity in the Apostolic Age to treat the theme as a unit, and to trace the development so far as possible in its totality. The volume necessarily contains much that falls properly within the province of special works upon New Testament literature, exegesis, or the ology; for the Apostolic Age is the age of the New Tes tament, and in the pages of the latter are found the thoughts and deeds of the leading actors in the history. But it has been my constant aim to subordinate all such special subjects to the common end, and to deal with them only in so far as they'constitute a vital part of the larger whole. This aim, I hope, will serve to explain the arrangement and to some extent the selection of material. At the same time, there are some matters, not vitally connected with the development as a whole, a discussion of which is looked for in a work on the Apostolic Age, and which I have not felt at liberty, in view of the gen eral purpose of the series of which this book forms a part, to neglect altogether; and so in the selection of material I have departed occasionally from my own ideal. But even in such cases the attempt has been made to keep the main subject well to the fore, and to let it control the entire treatment.

Excerpt from The Post-Apostolic Age The demand for the series of volumes of which this is one is an interesting witness to an interest ing and significant situation. Church histories have been hitherto of chief if not of exclusive interest to scholars; and even within this narrow circle the demand for merely ecclesiastical histories has been narrower still. But if our age has brought nothing else with it, it has brought an instinct of historic inquiry which has, happily, largely freed itself from partisan or ecclesiastical bias, and which has learned to read and to tell the story of the Christian cen turies in a larger spirit and with a more candid ut terance. To this end the whole tendency of modern schol arship, with its more critical and more independent methods, has happily contributed; and side by side with the growth of a spirit of frank and fearless ia quiry, there has grown up among educated people a more intelligent judgment of historical facts, and more hearty appreciation of every endeavor to as certain them.
