Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Church History, Vol. 1 In composing this Manual our aim was to cast into handy form those main facts of Church History with which every well-trained theological student should be familiar. To attain this end it was necessary, whilst neglecting nothing of importance, to eliminate everything irrelevant or of minor interest, to be content with the briefest possible descriptions, and to arrange our matter in such wise as to make our studious youth thoroughly at home in the vast region of the History of the Church. In the hope of giving an impulse to deeper study, we have been at pains to name the best and most recent works on each subject, and to refer at some length to the more famous points of controversy. In what concerns antiquity, in order to cultivate the spirit of research, we deemed it well, so far as considerations of space permitted, to refer in the footnotes to the original works. To have attempted more would have enlarged this work beyond all reasonable proportions, and increased correspondingly the labour of the student. Every teacher knows by experience how much depends on due measure, and several historians (e.g. Alzog), who, in beginning, were unmindful of this need, were ultimately compelled to abridge their more ponderous works to suit the convenience of colleges. The desire of being, before all else, brief, explains why we have allowed the facts to speak for themselves, and have, so far as possible, refrained from comment. A philosophy of history presupposes a full knowledge of the facts, and where brevity is needed, it is best to confine oneself to the facts. The first edition of this work was published in 1886.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Church History, Vol. 1: Ancient and Medieval Church History (to A. D. 1517) While the work has grown out of the author's own needs and experiences as a teacher, and is primarily intended as a text-book for theological seminaries and universities, he believes that it is equally adapted to the requirements of ministers of the gospel and of intelligent laymen throughout our great Baptist constituency. As he has conscientiously striven to record the facts as he has found them, without distorting them in the slightest degree in favor of any particular view of history, or any peculiar tenets of his denomination, he sees no reason why the work should not be acceptable and useful to members of other denominations as well as to those of his own. The recognition given to the author's fair-minded ness and freedom from partisanship by leading scholars of other denominations who have reviewed his earlier work induces the hope that this also will find a large num er of sympathetic readers in the various bodies of evangelical Christians.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Church History, Vol. 1 of 2 May be considered a probable fact, the episcopate of Peter a questionable explanation of his presence at Rome, and its twenty-five years' range a fable confuted by the Scripture history itself. The statement that the Apostles suffered in the fourteenth year of Nero need not clash with Tacitus' record of the attack on mm the Christians in his tenth year. A per scontion, at first prompted by Nero's desire to attach the stigma of the great fire to the already odious sect of Christians, may have begun in an. 64 and continued with intermissions till the emperors death in a.d. 68. The accounts represent Nero's victims as suffering fearful cruelties. They were crucified, cast to wild beasts in the arena, and even smeared with pitch and burnt as living torches to light the public gardens. It is uncertain whether the persecution extended beyond Rome. N 0 other is recorded till that of Domitian.
