Synopsis

Christendom: Ecclesiastical And Political, From Constantine To The Reformation is a historical book written by John Hodson Egar in 1887. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the development of Christianity from the time of Constantine to the Reformation. It covers the political and ecclesiastical aspects of Christendom during this period, including the rise of the papacy, the Crusades, and the Protestant Reformation. Egar's work is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a specific period or event in the history of Christendom. The book begins with the reign of Constantine, who is credited with making Christianity the official religion of the Roman Empire. Egar then traces the development of the papacy, from its early beginnings to its rise to power in the Middle Ages. The book also covers the Crusades, which were a series of military campaigns waged by Christians against Muslims in the Middle East. Egar provides a detailed account of the motivations behind the Crusades, as well as their impact on the political and religious landscape of Europe. Finally, Christendom: Ecclesiastical And Political, From Constantine To The Reformation covers the Protestant Reformation, which was a major religious movement that began in the 16th century. Egar discusses the key figures of the Reformation, such as Martin Luther and John Calvin, and the impact of their ideas on Christianity. Overall, Christendom: Ecclesiastical And Political, From Constantine To The Reformation is a comprehensive and detailed account of the history of Christianity from the time of Constantine to the Reformation. It is an important resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity or the development of Western civilization.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

For some years it was my duty and privilege, as Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Nashotah, to direct the studies in that department of the young men preparing there for the Ministry of the Church. I then found it both necessary and profitable to trace for them, as well as I was able, the connection between the Ecclesiastical and the Political History of the different periods that came under review. The interest manifested in these explanations suggested to me that a course of lectures on this subject might be useful to such of the intelligent laity as are desirous to inform themselves about the past history of the Church ;and the design of writing such a course, when I should have opportunity to set about it, gradually grew in my mind. Other duties, however, prevented any serious attempt to realize this intention, until last year I received the honor of being appointed the Bishop Paddock Lecturer for 1887. On being notified of the appointment, it seemed to me that I could best fulfil it by giving my lectures this direction; and, having consulted the Dean of the General Theological Seminary, and received his opinion that such a course would be within the intention of the Foundation, this book is the result.
