DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The History of the Christian Church, Vol. 1 The ecclesiastical history, of which this first volume, on the Apostolic Age, has just appeared in Germany, and is now presented to the English reader, makes no parade of erudition. But it is the work of an erudite, orthodox, and pious man, as a Professor of Theology. It embodies the well digested results of laborious enquiry; and it is exempt from the faults of many similar compositions. Its small compass makes it accessible. It is no inaccurate, superficial, and trite compilation at second hand. It does not profane the Church by treating its rise and progress as those of a merely human institution. It is neither a dry chro nicle, nor a series of religious biographies. And it is no party work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
