Not illustrated. 1854 edition. Excerpt: ... iswor-shewn in his Resurrection from the dead; so that shipped.... the most hardy in his unbelief, was then compelled to acknowledge the risen Saviour as his Lord and his God. And when Christ ascended up again to heaven, the prophetic declaration of King David was verified; and that which the eternal Father, through the Spirit, had uttered, was comprehend Heb. i. 8, e. ed, ' Unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever' And let all the angels of God worship him.' As regards the Son, to be baptized in His name, bound the disciple to worship Him, even as he worshipped God the Father; and since the two are wholly one, the Spirit of the Father and of the Son, proceeding forth from them as from the very source of unity, is God of the selfsame substance, and equally an object of divine worship. ' Wherefore the Holy Ghost is also inseparable in worship and glory from the Father and the Son; for if you are alien to him, neither will you worship Him at all; but being in Him you will no way separate him from God; no more indeed than dissociate the idea of light from things visible1.' The Council of Constantinople also adds, as the Confession of the Church Catholic, that the Spirit is associated with the Father and the Son in glory, and that as we worship the Holy Ghost, so also that we glorify him. And glorified. In whatever way the ancient hymns and au-Liturgical proof. thoritative writings of the Church had ascribed glory and honour and power to the Father, and Son, the same Divine worship had also been extended to the Holy Spirit. Thus in the ancient Morning Hymn1 of the Greek Church, the 'Gloria in Excelsis Deo, ' which still forms one of the noblest portions of the Christian Liturgy, the Holy Spirit ' with the Father and Son..

The Ecumenical Movement

Pages : 288
Book Description
What is Ecumenism? How and when did it start? What are its goals and how will they affect the future of the Christian churches? This book answers these questions and examines the remarkable story of new encounters between Orthodox, Roman Catholic, Anglican, Old Catholic, and most Protestant churches. Most of these churches have been divided for centuries over issues of theology, faith, and practice. Ecumenism seeks to reconcile these differences and to bring the churches together into a new unity based on their commonalities and their understanding of Christian faith. Here, FitzGerald traces the history of the churches and their divisions and focuses on the ways in which the Ecumenical movement began and the efforts that have been made to assist the churches in overcoming age-old strife, animosity, and misunderstanding. For centuries, Christian churches have remained divided over their doctrinal differences, but beginning in the late nineteenth century, churches and their members slowly began to emerge from their isolation. They began to abandon competition, mistrust, and misunderstanding in an effort to seek out their common interests and faith through meetings and organizations meant to bring them together. The encounters between the churches led to proposals for common prayers for unity, and for common witness in society. While not without difficulty, these encounters have fostered a renewal in Christian theology, worship, and witness, affecting all levels of church life. The process has touched Christians all over the world in various ways. FitzGerald carefully traces the history of the movement and its impact on the churches themselves, as well as the believers who attend them, making this important reading for all Christians and anyone interested in learning more about church division and efforts to restore unity.

Book Description
Philip Schaff's The Creeds of Christendom is a massive set, originally published in three volumes and here reproduced across five volumes, cataloging and explaining the many different creeds from the myriad Christian denominations. The differences in belief between Calvinists, Lutherans, and Presbyterians, for example, can often be subtle, so a thorough examination of the particulars as well as an explanation for how those different beliefs result in a different worldview is necessary. Volume One: Part I covers: . creeds in general . the Ecumenical creeds . the creeds of the Greek Church . the creeds of the Roman Church . the creeds of the Evangelical Churches . the creeds of the Evangelical Lutheran Churches . the creeds of the Evangelical Reformed Churches. This volume contains the table of contents for all of Volume One. Swiss theologian PHILIP SCHAFF (1819-1893) was educated in Germany and eventually came to the United States to teach at the German Reformed Theological Seminary in Pennsylvania. He wrote a number of books and hymnals for children, including History of the Christian Church and The Creeds of the Evangelical Protestant Churches.

Book Description
Why were the early Christians willing to die to protect a single iota of the creed? Why have the Judeans, Romans, and Persians—among others—seen the Christian creed as a threat to the established social order? In The Creed: Professing the Faith Through the Ages, bestselling author Dr. Scott Hahn recovers and conveys the creed’s revolutionary character. Tracing the development of the first formulations of faith in the early Church through later ecumenical councils, The Creed tells the story of how the very profession of our belief in Christ fashions us for heavenly life as we live out our earthly days.
