The Post Apostolic Age And Current Religious Problems

The aim of this volume is to show that the Christian faith, though varying in adaptation to the changing conditions of men and society, has ever preserved its essential identity. It has been, is, and will be, one. It has never cut from beneath it the foundations of antiquity and history. Its vital doctrines are generically the same today as they were closest touch with its origin, and as they have been held these centuries. All the advances of modern progress and all the discoveries of science have not shaken one central pillar of this blessed edifice of the faith and hopes or man. Whatever else has passed away, or will pass away, Christianity, reared by the pierced hand of its Founder upon the Rock of Truth, endures. Only to such a religion, which can face unmoved the eternal years, can the soul entrust its immortal destiny. - From the Foreword

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.
