Présentation de l'éditeur
My Dear Father Newman, I dedicate to you this work, so far as it has gone, upon the Formation of Christendom, for a double reason. The first is, because it arose out of my nomination to be Keader on the Philosophy of History in the Catholic University of I reland, which was made when you were its first Rector. The nomination, indeed, led to no more than the delivery of the Inaugural Lecture in your presence as Rector before the University. For though the work which has followed was originally intended to be delivered in like manner, I ascertained, on the completion of the first series, that no need had been felt for Lectures on the Philosophy of History, and my connection with the University practically terminated with your Rectorship. I am therefore offering you the fruit of an appointment peculiarly your own, since it ceased with you. And I may add that your counsels were not wanting to me in the first choice and handling of the subject.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating era of early Christianity, examining the relationship between the burgeoning Christian faith and the decline of classical Greek philosophy. The author takes readers on a journey through the historical context of the Roman Empire, specifically the period from Augustus to Constantine. He analyzes the political and social climate of the time, highlighting the empireââ â¢s remarkable prosperity and its simultaneous moral decay. The book then explores the intellectual landscape of this era, examining the influence of Jewish thought on Greek philosophy and the impact of both on the development of early Christianity. The author highlights the emergence of a new religious order in Rome, distinct from Judaism and distinct from the prevailing Greek philosophical schools, and demonstrates how the Christian Church, founded by Peter, grew rapidly despite persecution, becoming a powerful force in the Roman world. The book offers a nuanced look at the contrasting powers of Greek philosophy and the Christian Church, revealing the profound impact of the latter on the formation of a new social order and the reconstruction of human values. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
