Book excerpt: Excerpt from From Olivet to Patmos: The First Christian Century in Picture and Story During forty days after Jesus arose from the dead he remained, so far as we can know, on earth. He was not with his disciples all the time, but only appeared to them now and again, sometimes to one alone, sometimes to the Eleven, for Judas was dead. Once or twice he appeared to a large number of those who believed in him. We can understand now why our Lord took such a course as this. It was to make his disciples understand and really feel that even when he was absent from their sight he was actu ally present with them. If he had remained with them all the time during those forty days it would have been as hard for them to feel this when at last he left them to re. Turn into heaven as it would have been at any time before his death. They would have been almost as crushed and hopeless at the Ascension as they were when Jesus was crucified. And if he had not appeared to them more than once or twice after the resurrection they would soon have found it hard to believe that he had risen from the dead at all. They would have come to think that perhaps they had deceived themselves, perhaps they had only had a sort of vision of him, and they certainly would not have been able to preach with convincing power that Christ was risen indeed. But these six weeks of Jesus' frequent appearances and disappearances, while it taught them that they could not have him always with them, also gave them a sense of constant communion with him. They felt that he knew where they were and what they were doing, even when they did not see him among them, and they began to understand in some measure that it was not necessary that he should remain on earth in order to be with them always, as he had promised to be. They learned to under stand that whether absent or present his love and guidance would be always theirs; and so they became prepared for that final parting which was not in reality a parting, since it could not deprive them of the assurance that he was their ever-present Saviour and friend.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early Days of Christianity The world in which Christianity arose was almost entirely under the dominion of the Roman Empire. From about the middle of the third century before Christ, as a result of the wars with Carthage, the Roman rule had been gradually extended beyond the borders of Italy until the whole Mediterranean coast was under its control. At the death of the Emperor Augustus (14 A. D.) this vast empire, divided into provinces, stretched from the Atlantic Ocean on the west to the Euphrates River, the Arabian Desert, and the shores of the Red Sea on the east: and from the English Channel, the Rhine and the Danube Rivers and the Black Sea on the north to the Sahara Desert and the first cataract of the Nile on the South. The rest of the known world was made up of the uncivilized or savage tribes living north of the Rhine and the Danube, the nomads of the deserts south and east, the fierce and turbulent Parthians beyond the Euphrates, the inde pendent kingdom oi Armenia, and the remote and little-known lands of Ethiopia, India, and China. Thus the world in which Christianity arose - the known and civilized world of the west - was almost completely under Roman dominion.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Beginnings of Christianity The studies and discourses that are herein ofiered to the public deal with some general conditions of Christian life in the first three centuries of our era. Though already printed, at intervals and amid the pressure of grave academic duties, it is hoped that a certain unity of doctrine, purpose, and interest will not be found wanting to their collection as a series. In one way or another they illustrate certain phases and circumstances of those wonderful centuries before Constantine the Great, when the constitution and the institutions of the new religious society were de veloping on all sides within the vast Empire of Rome. The teachings of Jesus Christ were the pure, sweet leaven that permeated the decaying and unhappy society of antiquity, saved from its mass of corruption some germs of goodness and truth, of beauty and justice, and strengthened the State against those shocks that would otherwise have reduced it to pri maeval barbarism. A perennial charm must therefore attach to any narrative of the problems and vicissi tudes of this era. This is particularly true of the sufferings of the infant churches, and the social changes their rapid growth could not fail to work in the Roman society that seemed to contain them, but of which.

Book excerpt: 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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Christianity, Vol. 1 You cannot understand the history of the first centuries of Christianity, the phases through which it passed, the heresies which sprang up around it, the changes which 1t underwent, unless you first make yourself acquainted with the anterior or contemporaneous doctrines and religions. Nothing is insulated in the destinies of our race it is by the past that the present is explained and the future un veiled. Most Of the ancient forms of worship seem to be derived from a common origin. You find in that common origin, with some slight exceptions, the same theogonies, the same cosmogonies, the same religious institutions. Mosaism, although distinguished from the rest by the purity Of its conceptions, nevertheless took from them divers ceremonies and ordinances. In the last ages preceding the Christian era the Israelites, brought into contact with other nations by the captivity and by voluntary dispersion, adopted, under the influence of traditions and commentaries of old unknown, opinions which their sacred books do not contain, or at least do not declare in an explicit manner. Christianity in its turn coming, in its earliest days, forth from J udea to establish itself in the midst of polytheistic populations, failed to keep itself free from the influence of that medium, in the degree in which it Spread abroad it borrowed more or less according to the position of each Church or each group of Churches, from their philosophy, their rites, their superstitions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early History of the Christian Church, Vol. 1: From Its Foundation to the End of the Third Century AT the time of Diocletian's persecution, when the churches were destroyed, the sacred books burned, and the Chris tians proscribed, or forced to apostasize, one of their number was quietly working away at the first history of Christianity. His was not a mind of the highest order, but he was patient, hard-working, and conscientious, and during many long years, he had collected materials for his contemplated book. He succeeded in saving these materials from the general shipwreck, and even in turning them to account. Thus Eusebius of Caesarea became the father of ecclesiastical history. And the first duty of those who take up the same task again - so long after, but in days not much less dark - is to recall his name and his incom parable services. But for his unrivalled diligence in search ing through those Palestinian libraries, where the learned Origen and Bishop Alexander had collected the whole Christian literature of early days, our knowledge of the first three centuries of the Church's life would be small indeed. We cannot of course but lament the destruction of these libraries, yet, thanks to him, and to the remark able fragments he preserved, we can appreciate in some measure what they were.
