Synopsis

This book analyzes the historical development of schisms, divisions within a religious community, particularly withinChristianity. The author examines various theories of unity and schism, tracing them back to their origins in the early church, providing a valuable historical foundation for understanding the complex dynamics of religious division. Through an examination of scriptural texts, writings of early church fathers, and historical documents, the book explores the concept of the "one true Church" and the challenges posed by schismatic movements. The author provides a nuanced perspective on the nature of unity and disunity, examining both the theological and practical implications of schism. This book will be of great value to scholars, theologians, and anyone interested in the history and development of Christian thought and practice.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Bishop Paddock Lectures are delivered annually in the Chapel of the General Theological Seminary at New York. When the Trustees of the foundation honoured me with an invitation to undertake the course for the year 1916 17, the Dean of the Seminary suggested that I might with advantage lecture on the Unity of the Church and the effects of Schism. 1gladly adopted the suggestion. The subject is one which insistently demands atten tion. Concurrent with a growing toleration of the divisions of Christendom is an active and widespread movement towards Christian union. The combination is curious. Men who are unwilling to speak of schism, who resent plain speaking about it, and accept its present con sequences as if they were a normal feature of the Christian religion, press forward eagerly in search of a plan for modifying or even termin ating a state of things to which they seem to have little objection in principle. There are dangers in this course of action.

As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
