(1) Who was the earliest Historian of the Christian Church? What do we know of his life and writings? (2) What other ancient Christian work was of an historical nature? Give some account of it. (3) What, independent of Eusebius, are the sources of early Ecclesiastical History? Answer. (l)Hegesippus: - originally a Jew, who had been converted to the Christian faith, and flourished about the year 170. "He wrote in five books an unsophisticated account of the Apostolical preaching in a very plain style." (Eusebius, Ecclesiastical History, IV. 22, 8. II. 23. St Jerome, Catalogue of Ecclesiastical Writers, c. 22.) The work has perished, except some fragments preserved by Eusebius and one more in Photius. They relate to the deaths of James and Simeon the first two Bishops of Jerusalem, E.H. II. 23. III. 32. Domitian's enquiry after the posterity of David, III. 19, 20. His journey to Rome through Corinth - the origin of heresies - a notice of the Gospel of the Hebrews, and the unwritten traditions of the Jews. Adrian's deification of his slave Antinous, IV. 22, 8. The fragment in Photius is a remark on Matt. xiii. 16. (2) "The Chronicle" of Julius Africanus, "in five books accurately written." (Eus. E.H. VI. 31.) "Julius Africanus, whose five books of Chronology are extant, in the time of the Emperor M. Aurelius Antoninus, successor of Macrinus, undertook an embassy for the restoration of Emmaus." Jerome, Cat. 63. He probably resided in Palestine, and flourished about A.D. 220. His Chronicle, now no longer extant in a separate form, is supposed to have been inserted in the works of later annalists.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Ecclesiastical History I proceed now to consider the ends which may be answered by ecclesiastical history, and to inquire what is the readiest and most profitable way of studying it. Before that memorable era, the incarnation of the Son of God, the history of the church of God was the history of one particular people, first distinguished by the name of the patriarch Israel, (otherwise called jacob) whose descendants they were and after the loss of the ten tribes, who were carried into captivity by Shalma nezer, king of Assyria, denominated from Judah, one of the sons of Jacob, and one whose progeny the greater part of the remnant were, the nation of the Jews. The history of that mph, and the history of the church, was under the Mosaick economy the same thing. Neither do we find in the annals, and other remains of those ancient. Times, the least vestige of the distinction of a community into church and state, such as hath obtained universally in the nations who have received the christian law. This distinction hath given rise to a speciesof history, whereof the world before had not conceived so much as an idea. It may not therefore be improper, in the first place, to trace its origin, that we may the better apprehend what is meant by the history of the church.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the Ecclesiastical History of the First and Second Centuries These Lectures have never been delivered any where. When my connexion with King's College ceased, I was asked by a kind friend to authorize the publication of the notes which some of the students had taken down from my lips. He was aware that my Lectures were extempore, and that I had no reports Of my own by which I could correct theirs. Nevertheless, he fancied that he should be able to trace my meaning, and to present it in an intel ligible form to the reader: he even insisted that I should leave the matter wholly in his hands; an arrangement to which, except for his sake, I willingly consented.

Book excerpt: 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.

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.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on the History of the Eastern Church In February 1856, when Arthur Penrhyn Stanley had been Canon of Canterbury for nearly five years, he had published his Memorials of Canterbury (1854), a Commentary on the Epistles to the Corinthians (1855), and had just completed his Sinai and Palestine, the fruit of his travels in those regions in 1852-53. And accordingly we find him writing to his friend Hugh Pearson to say that the remaining work of his life would be either a history of the chosen people, or a history of early Christianity, beginning from the earliest times and continuing as late as possible. He was enabled to carry out both these projects in a way which he could not have foreseen at the time of writing; for in December of the same year he was appointed Regius Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Oxford. His biographer tells us that on the morning after he had accepted the appointment he burst into his mother's room exclaiming, "I have settled my first course. I shall begin with Abraham; he is the true beginning of ecclesiastical history." A few days later he is writing again to Pearson outlining the plan that was afterwards matured in the Lectures on the Eastern Church. In February 1857, he delivered, with striking success, as his inaugural course, the lectures comprised under the title "Introduction" in this volume. They deal respectively with the "province," the "methods," and the "advantages" of the study of Church History, and there can be no better introduction to the subject for any student than these three discourses taken together with Bishop Collins's little hand-book, and an article by Dr. Harnack in The Contemporary Review for August 1886. We shall see also that these lectures are no less significant of Stanley himself than helpful to his readers. In the long vacation of 1857 - just fifty years ago - Stanley set out from Canterbury (where he continued to reside until a death in February 1858 placed at his disposal a canonry in Christ Church, Oxford), together with two young comrades and a courier named Djarlieb, whose performance did not equal his promise.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures Upon the Ecclesiastical History of the First Three Centuries, From the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, to the Year 313 Ir will perhaps be remarked, that the following Lectures upon the ecclesiastical history of the first century might have been entitled with equal propriety, Lectures upon the Acts of the Apostles. The remark is not inapplicable to the first nine Lectures: and instead of feeling a wish to remove such an objection, I would state at the commencement of this preface, that one of my objects in delivering these Lectures was to furnish a commentary upon the Acts of the Apostles, which might be useful to persons who were studying that work, as well as to the general reader of ecclesiastical history.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Ecclesiastical History, Vol. 2 of 2: Including the Origin and Progress of the English Reformation From Wickliffe to the Great Rebellion Gentlemen, - I alluded, at the close Of my last lecture, to the ambitious spirit which at a very early period began to characterise the Roman Prelates. That spirit was the natural temper Of the race, finding a new development for itself in the circumstances Of the Christian Church. Infidel writers have [been fond Of reckoning Christianity among the causes Of the downfall Of the Old Roman Empire. I do not think that such an imputation is just, though perhaps it would not be very scandalous to our religion if it were. But in truth, the Roman Empire was irrecoverably doomed to destruction long before Christianity arose, and whether Christianity had arisen or not, Rome must have perished under the action Of the same influences as did in fact work her ruin. Christianity was so far from destroying what was great and manly in the Old Roman character, that, on the contrary, it revived that character and opened a fresh field for the exercise Of its energies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Medieval Church History: Being the Substance of Lectures Delivered at Queen's College, London I delivered a good many years ago, and more times than one, courses of Lectures on Church History to a class of girls, at Queen's College, London. One course dealt with Early Church History, another with Modern, and between these was one on Medieval. This last course has constituted the groundwork of the present volume, published by request of hearers, but those hearers, as I must acknowledge, my own daughters. I had intended at the first to do no more than print the Lectures as delivered, with some slight occasional revision; and certainly had very imperfectly recognized how much more than this would be required. Little by little I became aware that my present estimate of persons and of things was not always what it once had been, that later books demanded to be read, and later knowledge used; not to say, that it was one thing to address a class of young ladies; who, however little one might know oneself upon a subject, were tolerably sure to know less; and another, to lay oneself open to the criticism of all comers. It has followed that much has been re-written, something withdrawn, not a little added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
