Three Introductory Lectures On The Study Of Ecclesiastical History Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Three Introductory Lectures on the Study of Ecclesiastical History This is a brief but necessary sketch of the first part of our subject. This is the ancient period of Ecclesiastical History. Its full treasures must be unfolded hereafter. Its accessories belong to other departments of study. The critical interpretation of the sacred books in which the history is con tained falls under the province of general Theology and Exegesis; the explanation of the languages in which they are written I gladly leave to the Pro fessor of Hebrew and the Professor of Greek. But the history itself of the Chosen People, from Abra ham to the Apostles, belongs to this Chair by right and, if health and strength are spared to me, shall also belong to it in fact.

Excerpt from Lectures on the History of the Eastern Church: With an Introduction on the Study of Ecclesiastical HistoryInregardto therelationof Christianitytotheother mhgionsoftheeastwhichmustbeconsidcredasone of the most important branches of the subject in connec tion with the fortunes of Eastern Christendom, I have been restrained, by my personal ignorance of the languages and customs of most of those countries, from offering more than a few general remarks on the one most directly connected with the Christian Church and the Eastern branch of it, nan'rely, Mahometanism. But, if I may be permitted to refer to the labours of the eminent scholar who has already done so much for elucidating in this country the nature of Oriental religions, it is to be hoped that Professor Max Muller may be induced to give us the benefit of his genius and learning in drawing forth the mutual relations of the religionsofasiaandthechristianfaithtoeachother, in meir past history and in their future prospects.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
