Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Christian Church From the Reformation to the Present Time, Vol. 1 of 4 IN the Reformation Of the sixteenth century, the Germanic spirit, which, until then, had been under the tutelage and disci pline Of the Romish Church, attained to maturity and inde pendence. It fully emancipated itself from the bondage Of its master, who had become an ambitious oppressor, and had made every effort to suppress all independent attempts to secure eccle siastical, theological, and scientific freedom - all movements in favour Of evangelical reforms. In the primitive history Of the Church, the person of Christ was made the centre Of salvation, and the Holy Scriptures were set forth as the source Of all announcements and knowledge Of salvation. The development Of Christianity was impelled in the ancient Church by tradition. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Christian Church Little, it is believed, requires to be said either by way of intro duction to, or apology for, the appearance of the present volume, which carries the narrative to the Reformation. In another volume it is proposed to continue this history down to our days. But in order to adapt the work to the wants of British readers, it will be necessary for the Editor, while following Professor Kurtz in his accurate researches on the German Reformation, to detail with the same care and fulness the History of the Calvinistic Churches. The want of a manual like the present, at once so comprehensive as to serve for reference, and so condensed as to form a suitable text book for students, has been long and increasingly felt. On a comparison of various works of this kind, that by Professor Kurtz has appeared to the Editor best adapted for reproduction in English. It has been sought to make the Translation faithful without being slavish. Throughout, the book has been anew and carefully compared with standard works on the subject in English and German. Where necessary, slight modifications have been made, and expressions altered or omitted, when Dr Kurtz's Lutheran predilections have led him beyond the limits of strict historical evidence. Such alterations, however, are not material; they have been requisite only in few instances, and do not in any case change the character of the book. The Literature of the subject has also undergone careful revision, and been to a considerable extent supplemented. The Editor alone is responsible for the following portions of the volume - viz., the Life of Wycliffe, the Theology of Wycliffe, the Lollards, the Sketch of the System of Hus, the Bohemian Brethren, and Humanism in England and Scotland.

Book Description
Excerpt from History of the Christian Church From the Reformation to the Present Time, Vol. 1 of 4 In the Reformation of the sixteenth century, the Germanic spirit, which, until then, had been under the tutelage and discipline of the Romish Church, attained to maturity and independence. It fully emancipated itself from the bondage of its master, who had become an ambitious oppressor, and had made every effort to suppress all independent attempts to secure ecclesiastical, theological, and scientific freedom - all movements in favour of evangelical reforms. In the primitive history of the Church, the person of Christ was made the centre of salvation, and the Holy Scriptures were set forth as the source of all announcements and knowledge of salvation. The development of Christianity was impelled in the ancient Church by tradition, in the mediæval by the hierarchy, in the modern by science. Tradition represents the continued agency of the Holy Ghost in the Church; the hierarchy represents Christ's supremacy over the Church. By the former the catholicity of the Church was developed; the latter protected the Church against the storms which arose amid the conflicts of the ancient and modern world, and secured its perpetuation. But both tradition and the hierarchy transcended their proper limits; hence upon modern science devolved the duty of leading men back to the fountain of salvation in Christ, and of the knowledge of that salvation in the Scriptures, that thus the truth might be sifted of falsehood, and that which was normal be separated from abnormal developments in the history of the Church. This happened in the Reformation. Not that science produced the Reformation, for it was rather called forth by deep anxieties for the salvation of the soul, against which Romish tradition had sealed the Sacred Scriptures, and Romish indulgences and justification by works had barred faith in Christ. But the Reformation became the most zealous patron of science, because science furnished the means of discovering, establishing, and perfecting the principles of true reform.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Christian Church, Vol. 1 The ecclesiastical history, of which this first volume, on the Apostolic Age, has just appeared in Germany, and is now presented to the English reader, makes no parade of erudition. But it is the work of an erudite, orthodox, and pious man, as a Professor of Theology. It embodies the well digested results of laborious enquiry; and it is exempt from the faults of many similar compositions. Its small compass makes it accessible. It is no inaccurate, superficial, and trite compilation at second hand. It does not profane the Church by treating its rise and progress as those of a merely human institution. It is neither a dry chro nicle, nor a series of religious biographies. And it is no party work. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the Christian Church During the Reformation The following Chapters are intended as the sequel and companion to 'A History of the Christian Church during the Middle Age.' The author had indulged the hope of giving this new portion to the public at a less distant interval, but found his progress constantly retarded by other duties and engagements. In traversing ground which furnishes so many topics, always full of deep and sometimes melancholy interest to the student of Church-history, he was actuated by the principles which guided him throughout the composition of the previous volume. His earnest wish has been to give the reader a trustworthy version of those stirring incidents which mark the Reformation-period; without relinquishing his former claim to characterise particular systems, persons, and events, according to the shades and colours they assume, when contemplated from an English point of view, and by a member of the Church of England.

Excerpt from Text-Book of Church History, Vol. 1: To the Reformation In addition to the above, several hundred minor corrections were made, in large part merely of typographical errors, errors of dates, names and references, and in part, though in small part, corrections aiming to modify Germanized forms of expression. It will, however, be readily observed that to completely expurgate the foreign idioms would involve a greater number of changes than the limits of the present task permit.
