Burned at the stake. Hunted down for their faith. This illustrated edition of J. E. Hutton's captivating 500-year history depicts the Moravian Church from its early years as one of the oldest Protestant denominations to it's mature, modern form. Hutton divides the history it into four sections. He begins with the life and martyrdom of Jan Hus, then documents the 18th-century revival under Nikolaus von Zinzendorf, the famed Pietist and social reformer. Following the revival, the Moravians began to spread their faith throughout the world, and by the turn of the 20th century, they had firm establishments throughout Europe and North America. Today, the Moravian Church has nearly one million members, and it influences millions more. Arranged chronologically, Hutton's history takes us first to the dawn of the Protestant Reformation in the fifteenth century. He details the fraught religious and political situation during the decades prior to the eventual split with the dominant Catholic order. We are introduced to the pivotal figures of the era, such as: * Peter of Chelci * Gregory the Patriarch * Luke of Prague By harnessing popular sentiment and using new technology such as the printing presses to spread the new, Protestant doctrine, the split of Christianity occurred. The political climate of Prague, Bohemia where the Moravians lived and died is much-detailed. The pure, simple Christian observance and his virtues united the Moravian movement - the essential devotion to Jesus, the apostles, and his gospel appealed to Christians, who yearned for community under a common banner. Poland, in particular, proved a bastion for the Moravian brethren, many of whom travelled and carried their traditions abroad. Following the years of conflict and Reformation, the Moravians distinguished themselves as a highly competent Christian group. Members of the Moravian church were among the first missionaries to venture to the New World, which was the scene of chaotic conflicts between the rival colonial powers. The simple adherence to the word of Christ runs a common thread through the political and moral dramas, as the Moravians grappled with issues such as slavery and war, helping slaves in kindness. The worldwide influence of the 18th century Moravian missionaries was extraordinary. One notable example is the impact they had on John Wesley, leading directly to his conversion experience. Later the Moravians established a permanent presence on George Whitefield's estate. Hutton's chronicle is thorough, intensively explaining the important aspects underpinning the Moravians. The development of their customs; how they congregated; the aesthetic appearance of their churches; and their establishment of parochial education are all detailed, giving the reader a vivid and valuable history. Hutton includes the doctrinal stance of the Moravian church, indicative of the long term effect of the historical teachings of their founder, Count Zinzendorf. Their dedication is admirable. Interestingly, they adhered to the Augsburg Confession, denouncing the Anabaptist theology regarding the sacraments. Indeed, the Moravian church emphasises experiential Christianity, that is, inner feelings and revelations as well as outward emotional raptures. In that regard, they seem to have predated the charismatics. In short, J. E. Hutton's book provides a very interesting and fairly concise history of the Moravian movement. Highly recommended to anyone desiring a better understanding of the church predating the Anabaptists and inspired by the teaching and martyrdom of John Hus. Illustrations Include: * Jan Huss' trial and execution * The inspiration of Count Zinzendorf * Jerome of Prague * Scenes of Moravian life * and more...

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1922 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVIII THE CHURCH AT LEXINGTON AVENUE AND THIRTIETH STREET The pastorate of Brother Amadeus A. Reinke was by far the longest in the history of the congregation. It extended over a period of nearly twenty-three years and nine months. That these years were not marked by any phenomenal growth in membership was not due to any lack on the part of the pastor. His large heart, genial disposition, generous spirit, excellent judgment, unselfish service, sincerity of purpose, and whole-hearted consecration to the Saviour whose cause it was his sole purpose in life to advance, made him a man universally beloved by the members of the congregation, and by a large circle of friends in the city and elsewhere. In at least two instances the friendship of non-Moravians brought unexpected financial returns. On December 12, 1872, Daniel Marley, a second-hand furniture dealer, died, and when his will was read it was learned that he had left, as a token of his regard for the pastor, a legacy of $5,000 to the congregation. A certain Miss Merritt, who altho she was not a Moravian had enjoyed the sympathetic ministrations of Brother Reinke during her last illness, willed him personally the sum of five hundred dollars. No one was more surprised than the pastor when these facts were revealed. When he took charge of the congregation it was in anything but a flourishing condition. The church had remained too long in Houston Street. By staying there after conditions had become well-nigh insufferable, it seriously damaged its strength and prestige. This detriment was increased by the homeless wanderings after the churchproperty had been sold. It was therefore like starting afresh when the little congregation began its labors at Lexington Avenue and Thirtieth...

"A History of the Moravian Church" written by J. E. (John Edwin) Hutton is a definitive and scholarly exploration of the Moravian Church's rich and fascinating history. This work demonstrates Hutton's commitment to the study of religious movements and their impact on society. Hutton's book provides a complete history of the Moravian Church, officially known as the Unitas Fratrum, from its beginnings in the 15th century to its ongoing influence in the twentieth. The Moravian Church has a distinct history that may be traced back to Jan Hus, a reformer who challenged religious customs of his day. In "A History of the Moravian Church," Hutton methodically researches and tells the tale of this extraordinary Christian denomination's development, beliefs, and customs. He investigates their concentration on missionary work, their particular community life, and their substantial contributions to the history of Protestantism in general. One of Hutton's enduring qualities is his ability to make difficult historical and theological issues understandable to readers. He offers insightful insights into the Moravian Church's theology, spirituality, and impact on the larger Christian world.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1857 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XX XIII. Conclusion--Table of the Episcopate, &c. Having thus brought to view a portraiture of a few of the early and very efficient heads and leaders of the Unita Fratrii, not, however, as a boastful show of their prowess, nor even as a guarantee for the doings of their successors; for, however true it be, that the Moravian Church of the present, is an active principle, and a doctrinal succession of its fathers, yet we cannot deny the difference of the practical minutice of this, compared with that "day of small things." Simplicity of word and deed, and even faith itself, have passed into and through the refining fire of the march of improvement; and "the spirit of the age," offers them in a cruder form. That there is a deterioration of the manners, customs, profession, and practical illustration of the religion of our Saviour, is beyond controversy. And why? Are we any better than they? Are we as powerful and successful? Certainly not. But we refine too much of God's holy Word, make it enigmatical; and the plain, simplified effusions of our Saviour's mind are mystified in figures of speech. He said, "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, and shall say to this sycamore tree, Be thou removed, and cast into the sea, it shall be done." And he proved it when by an act of the same faith, he, at the marriage at Cana, turned water into wine. It was upon this surety--divesting themselves entirely of self-dependence--that our fathers lived and moved and had their ministerial being. And but for this, all the sacrifices in the world could not have wrought the successful issues to the work of their hands. They were plain simple-hearted men, unsophisticated, ungarnished of worldly wisdom, having only "a single eye to the glory of...
