Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1886 edition. Excerpt: ... in the same volume occur passages from Ambrose, bishop of Milan, who was contemporary with Eucherius. It might then be thought needless to dwell on an anonymous production of so late a date, for the purpose of investigating the age and authenticity of the Apostolical Records. But it is not desirable that weight shonld be attached to evidence which is weak and worthless for determining such an issue. The Canon of Muratori is cited in proof that the New Testament existed, almost as we have it now, in the latter part of the second century. Few critics hesitate to admit this without a doubt. But the Canon of Muratori is insufficient, if standing alone, to prove even this: for there are certain points in it to be remarked, which seem to indicate that it furnishes no evidence at all on the subject, beyond the fact that our New Testament existed in the eighth century, and possibly earlier up to the fourth century of our era, or even higher still. In the first place the fragment is written in Latin, and we have no other Christian writings remaining from the middle or end of the second century, in any other language than the Greek. But there are two words in the fragment which are of the utmost importance: the author speaks of St Paul's setting out to Spain, "profectionem Fauli ab urbe ad Spaniam proficiscentis." The expression "ab urbe says DrTregelles indicates the Roman character of the document;" and this, whilst it brings down the age of the writer to a later date, renders his testimony less valuable for all the transactions of the earliest period of Christianity. Another objection to the use of this fragment may fairly be made from the tendency of the writer to record improbable legends such as that which will hereafter be related in...

Book excerpt: The writings in this volume cast a glimmer of light upon the emerging traditions and organization of the infant church, during an otherwise little-known period of its development. A selection of letters and small-scale theological treatises from a group known as the Apostolic Fathers, several of whom were probably disciples of the Apostles, they provide a first-hand account of the early Church and outline a form of early Christianity still drawing on the theology and traditions of its parent religion, Judaism. Included here are the first Epistle of Bishop Clement of Rome, an impassioned plea for harmony; The Epistle of Polycarp; The Epistle of Barnabas; The Didache; and the Seven Epistles written by Ignatius of Antioch—among them his moving appeal to the Romans that they grant him a martyr's death. For more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thorough, well-sourced history of the early Christian church follows its origins in the Apostolic Age, through its growth during and after the collapse of the Roman Empire. The author treats the death of Christ as the starting point for his examination of Christianity's initial rise to prominence via the work of the apostles. Originally commanding only a small following in what is today Israel and its immediate surroundings, the movement grew rapidly despite being banned as heresy by the Roman authorities. Through disparate and spread over a wide area, early Christians were organized; the teachings of Jesus were spread by devoted, literate believers who commonly held copies of the New Testament and other lore. Great milestones in the history of Christianity, such as the Emperor Constantine's adoption of the faith, as well as the conflicts between different groups of believers, are examined. The emergence of the Catholic church, and the formal papal office of the Bishop of Rome, is detailed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Apostolic Fathers were core Christian theologians among the Church Fathers who lived in the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D., who are believed to have personally known some of the Twelve Apostles or to have been significantly influenced by them. Their writings, though widely circulated in Early Christianity, were not included in the canon of the New Testament. Many of the writings derive from the same time period and geographical location as other works of early Christian literature, which came to be part of the New Testament. Some of the writings found among the Apostolic Fathers appear to have been as highly regarded as some of the writings which became the New Testament. These writers include Clement of Rome, Ignatius, Polycarp, Hermas, Barnabas, Papias, and the anonymous authors of the Didachē (Teaching of the Twelve Apostles), Letter to Diognetus, Letter of Barnabas, and the Martyrdom of Polycarp. Not everything written by the Apostolic Fathers is considered to be equally valuable theologically, but taken as a whole, their writings are more valuable historically than any other Christian literature outside the New Testament. They provide a bridge between it and the more fully developed Christianity of the late 2nd century.
