Excerpt from The Sunny Side of Christianity The front door. There would probably not a great deal come out of the rear door any way, and what did come it would be difficult to tag in a way to make it intelligible to the general market. Now the Church, a Church is, or is presumably, a kind of manufactory, that is, it exists for the purpose of yielding some form of product. And it is as evi dent as it needs to be that only a few people comparatively have any simple and distinct idea what that product is. That is shown in the fact that so many, whom we should not want to charge with not being Christian, do not care to asso ciate themselves with the Church. The meaning of Church is not so clearly felt by its members and therefore is not made so apparent by its members, as to lead outsiders to care to become identified with it or be made responsible for it. We do not need to have it pointed out to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Sunny Side of Life: Sermons Preached in the Every-Day Church, Boston In the preparation of the following sermons, it was no part of my plan that hey should be published in book form. They were all preached to the congregation of the Every-Day Church, Boston, in the course of my regular ministry. While they were preached without manuscript, they were usually dictated for publication the following week. Sometimes the dictation was made with reasonable care, but more frequently very rapidly and with a view only to newspaper use. Amid an unusually busy and distracting ministry, I have at the suggestion of friends undertaken to gather up a few of these sermons into a volume. Now that they are published, I am bound to acknowledge that I cannot be proud of my children. Upon nearly every page, certainly in every sermon, I am confronted with visible and humiliating signs of great haste in preparation, while revision is quite out of the question. The only merit perhaps which could ever have been claimed for these sermons was an honest purpose evident in them to call men to a higher life, and a warmth of earnestness which I can only hope has not wholly disappeared in the printing. It was not found practicable to make the arrangement with reference to any proper sequence. Indeed, the arrangement has been more with reference to variety.

Excerpt from The Sunny Side: Or, the Country Minister's Wife Then she who was to Share his labour and joy recalled him to present practical domestic arrangements. On the next day he was to be ordained - a very important event surely; but on the week following he anticipated one scarcely less important. He began to wonder if they had not made a mistake in the order of these events. Could he do full justice to his first sermon, with that event in such immediate prospect? As if to speed the time a little, he drew his whip across his pony's ears, who, feeling insulted by so smart a blow, started off at a round trot, and soon brought his driver out of the still woods into the village of Weston.

Excerpt from Christianity in the New Age "It is no small prudence to keep silence in an evil time," says Thomas a Kempis; and though the dark night is past and the day of victory has come, silence still commends itself as a counsel of discretion. For this is a time of obscure and tangled issues, of the seething turmoil of new and dying tendencies and the blind struggle of unborn and half-born impulses. What we took to be an ordered map has resolved itself into a chaos of crossing lines, and the only thing to be asserted with confidence about a complex of life and thought so full of intricacy and contradiction is its utter impredicability.

A New York Times Notable Book, winner of the Jerwood Award from the Royal Society of Literature, a New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice, and named a Book of the Year by the Telegraph, Spectator, Observer, and BBC History Magazine, this bold new history of the rise of Christianity shows how its radical followers helped to annihilate Greek and Roman civilizations. The Darkening Age is the largely unknown story of how a militant religion deliberately attacked and suppressed the teachings of the Classical world, ushering in centuries of unquestioning adherence to "one true faith." Despite the long-held notion that the early Christians were meek and mild, going to their martyrs' deaths singing hymns of love and praise, the truth, as Catherine Nixey reveals, is very different. Far from being meek and mild, they were violent, ruthless, and fundamentally intolerant. Unlike the polytheistic world, in which the addition of one new religion made no fundamental difference to the old ones, this new ideology stated not only that it was the way, the truth, and the light but that, by extension, every single other way was wrong and had to be destroyed. From the first century to the sixth, those who didn't fall into step with its beliefs were pursued in every possible way: social, legal, financial, and physical. Their altars were upturned and their temples demolished, their statues hacked to pieces, and their priests killed. It was an annihilation. Authoritative, vividly written, and utterly compelling, this is a remarkable debut from a brilliant young historian.
