Book Description
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.
