Church History, Volume One: From Christ to the Pre-Reformation
Author: Everett FergusonPublisher: Zondervan Academic
ISBN: 0310516579
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 544
Book Description
Church History, Volume One offers a unique contextual view of how the Christian church spread and grew from its development in the days of Jesus to the years leading up to the Reformation. Looking closely at the integral link between the history of the world and that of the church, Church History paints a portrait of God's people within its setting of times, cultures, and events that both influenced and were influenced by the church. FEATURES: Maps, charts, and illustrations spanning the time from the first through the thirteenth centuries. Overviews of the Roman, Greek, and Jewish worlds and how they developed or declined. Insights into the church's relationship to the Roman Empire, with glimpses into pagan attitudes toward Christians. Explanations of the role of art, architecture, literature, and philosophy—both sacred and secular—in the Church. Details on the major theological controversies of the periods. Each chapter also contains callout passages from Scripture to assist in understanding the narrative of the Church, even to the present day, as part of the greater narrative of the Bible. AUTHOR'S PERSPECTIVE: Scholar and writer Everett Ferguson wrote this history of the church from the perspective that such a history is the story of the greatest movement and community the world has known. It's a human story of a divinely called people who wanted to live by a divine revelation. It's a story of how they succeeded and how they failed or fell short of their calling. From the Apostle Paul to the apologists and martyrs of the second century to Martin Luther, the historical figures detailed are people who have struggled with the meaning of the greatest event in history—the coming of the Son of God—and with their role in that event and in the lives of God's people.

Book Description
Excerpt from Studies in Church History, Vol. 1: Centuries I-VIII Of all branches of history, none is so pregnant with mat ter for controversy as that which treats of the career of the Church none excites such wide-spread interest, or causes such intense feeling. Theological hate is proverbially strong and it in uences the person of superior culture as effectively as it does one Of ordinary attainments. To all who are animated by this sentiment, ecclesiastical history furnishes keen and powerful weapons. But to those who are actuated by simple yearning for truth, to those who feel that the career of a society must Show whether it be of God or of man, this branch Of science is of first importance. In our day, especially, appeals to ecclesiastical history are not merely of last resort - certain thinking men are in uenced by its lessons when they ignore other authority in religious matters. Agreeing with Fenelon that He is profoundly ig norant of the nature Of religion, who does not perceive that She is all historical (education 0. Vi).

Christian Community in History Volume 1
Author: Roger HaightPublisher: A&C Black
ISBN: 0826416306
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 449
Book Description
Drawing upon the methodology developed in his Dynamics of Theology (1990) and exemplified in Jesus Symbol of God (1999), Roger Haight, in this magisterial work, achieves what he calls an historical ecclesiology, or ecclesiology from below. In contrast to traditional ecclesiology from above, which is abstract, idealist, and ahistorical, ecclesiology from below is concrete, realist, and historically conscious. In this first of two volumes, Haight charts the history of the church's self-understandings from the origins of the church in the Jesus movement to the late Middle Ages. In volume 2 Haight develops a comparative ecclesiology based on the history and diverse theologies of the worldwide Christian movement from the Reformation to the present. While the ultimate focus of the work falls on the structure of the church and its theological self-understanding, it tries to be faithful to the historical, social, and political reality of the church in each period.
