Excerpt from The History of Early Christianity The extent of the Roman Empire is something which it is very difficult for us to realise. In a.d. 70, when Jerusalem was destroyed, and all men could see that Judaism and Christianity were detached from one another, the Roman Empire included thirty-six provinces, and stretched from Southern Britain to Armenia. It included London, Cologne, Paris, Cordova, Carthage, Alexandria, Damascus, Smyrna, and the town which we call Constanti nople but which was then named Byzantium. Chester and Lincoln were the two most northerly points held by Roman troops, whose comrades were stationed in Egyptian' towns half as old as time. The Emperor Augustus had in stituted a vast system of political reform to which his successors had generally adhered. Augustus made a united Italy, and stimulated a patriotism for Italy which could not be dissociated from devotion to himself. His name and victories were so continually in the festivals and in the worship of the people, that the measures were com prehended in the man. He bound the middle classes to himself by offering them prefectures and governorships he encouraged guilds which might further the interests of the populace, and while he controlled the power of the aristocratic senate, he consoled its pride with outward splendours. The provinces were prosperous, and though the three immediate successors of Augustus and of his adopted. Son Tiberius were men of inferior calibre, the empire was tranquil and wealthy. Actual misgovernment was rare, irritation against the government was seldom felt, except by half-civilised peoples in the extreme East and North. Spain and Gaul were being rapidly Romanised, and although Asia Minor was more independent of Rome both in its culture and its government, general contentment reigned.

Excerpt from The Early Christians in Rome F the five Books which make up this work, the First Book relates generally the history of the fortunes of the Church in Rome in the first days. The foundation stories of the Roman congregations were laid largely by the Apostles Peter and Paul - Peter, so with one accord say the earliest contemporary writers,1 being the first apostle who preached in Rome. Paul, who taught many years later in the Capital, was also reckoned as a founder of the Roman Church for his teaching, especially his Christ ology, supplemented and explained in detail the teaching of S. Peter and the early founders. The First Book relates how, after the great fire of Rome in the days of Nero, the Christians came into prominence, but apparently were looked on for a considerable period as a sect of dissenting Jews.

Excerpt from The Social Results of Early Christianity I have to thank M. Schmidt for permission to trans late his book into English, Dr. Dale for his Preliminary Essay, and J. L. Paton, Esq., for assistance with the classical notes. The completeness with which M. Schmidt gives the authorities upon which his statements rest, adds greatly to the value of his book. Born into a world in which the institutions are at least coloured by Christianity, we can hardly realize either what they have been without it, or to what they may yet rise with a fuller appreciation of its principles and Spirit.

Excerpt from History of Early Christian Literature in the First Three Centuries This book differs from the more recent handbooks on Patrology, both Catholic and Protestant, not only in many details of its conception of the subject, but in its arrangement and limitation of the treatment. It has been my special purpose to emphasize the literary point of view, since a history of literature has no occasion to explain the theological or ecclesiastical importance of a writer. I have also endeavored to substitute an organic method of treatment in place of a mechanical sequence based on chronology and biography, though I dare not hope that I have realized the ideal that has hovered before me. In my manner of conceiving of the sub ject I have adhered to the views expounded by Friedrich Nitzsch, now professor of Systematic Theology at Kiel, and by Franz Overbeck, professor of Church History at Basel (cf. I). About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Excerpt from The Evolution of Early Christianity: A Genetic Study of First-Century Christianity in Relation to Its Religious Environment Of Christian origins must first orient himself in the life of the times, if he would understand the genesis of the new religion as well as the literature it produced. The possibility of obtaining this orientation has greatly increased in recent years. Much help may now be derived from the historical study of religions as a whole, which supplies certain broad principles capable of general application. These results emphasize the necessity of taking account of psychological processes in the rise and development of all religions, and they make clear the importance of social and cultural forces for the determination of religious phenomena. But more immediate help comes from Observing the actual historical situation in which the early Christians lived. Within the last half-century various scholars have devoted themselves to the study of later Judaism, with the result that the historian can now know, for the most part, the actual religious situation which conditioned the lives of the first disciples on Jewish soil.

Excerpt from Pauline and Other Studies in Early Christian History IN the Second Edition a detail is corrected in p. 261 (involving a slight modification in the former Preface, lines 8 the misplacement of Plate XII., XIII. Is rectified, Plate II., p. 160, is set upright, and several other slight improvements are made. The recent discovery at Delphi of an inscription which is said to prove that Gallio was Proconsul of Achaia in a.d. 52, confirms in a very satisfactory way the chronology advocated in the fourteenth paper of this volume (differing only in one or two very slight details from that adopted in St. Paul tile Travel/er). If Gallio was Proconsul in 52, it can hardly be doubted that the eighteen months of Paul's residence in Corinth extended from Autumn 51 to Spring 53.

Excerpt from Studies in Early Church History The period of which these studies treat extends from the time of Christ to the reign of Constantine, the first Christian Roman Emperor. This era has been called, The Heroic Age of the Church It was during these three hundred years that Christianity encountered the bitter hostility of the Roman and Greek religions and systems of philosophy and was under the ban of the civil power. It was then that it formulated its doctrines, set forth its principles, wrote its New Testament books and endured its fiery persecutions. In the enthusiasm and freshness of their faith, its converts dared all things; no tasks were too hard, no hardships too great and no tortures too painful, when called for in the name of Jesus Christ, the Lord and Saviour.
