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.

Excerpt from The Post-Apostolic Age and Current Religious Problems The peculiarity of the present is that a group of scholars in the Church is challenging the historical View of twenty centuries. Hence doubt as to the authority of the Scriptures and the certainty of the Christian faith is whispered from ear to ear. And the multitude are saying: Well, then, we will trouble ourselves little with either Bible or creed. As the practical result, there is a growing dissolution of the bonds of religion. And the worst is, that, from this point of View, the multitude is right. If Christianity be true, it cannot undergo a radical change. Only the false can be torn up by the roots. Only the cancer must have the knife to the core. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

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 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 The Apostolic Age: Its Life, Doctrine, Worship and Polity The late appearance of this volume in the series to which it belongs, calls for a word of explanation. It is scarcely two years since the death of Bishop A. C. Coxe, of Western New York, who had already put his hand to the work, led to the task being transferred to the present writer. Under these circumstances he hopes that the original subscribers will not grudge the time taken in carrying through, amid other duties, the needful studies and reducing tho results to something like unity. How far this volume may deserve its place in "a series of popular monographs," its author is hardly able to judge. But he has at any rate tried to avoid abstract or artificial grouping, and to describe the concrete life of the Apostolic Age as it manifested itself, now here, now there, at the points of greatest activity. In this way the emphasis and perspective of the facts, whether of the Church's "constitution, fundamental polity, doctrine, worship, or social and spiritual life," seem to have the best chance of telling on tho mind directly and in their own right. Only in three chapters at the end has a formal attempt been made to systematize some of the facts already presented, for the most part, in their own proper contexts.

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.
