Synopsis
Church History for intelligent readers. Such a manual is Professor Rudolf Sohm s Kirchengeschichte im Grundriss. Short as it is, it is neither a meagre sketch nora confused mass of facts, but a masterly outline of Church History from the first ages to our own times, combining a lawyers precision and a historians insight into the meaning of events with a philosophers sense of the unity of history and a Christian sconviction that the Kingdom of God is spiritual. The translation is made from the eighth German edition, which the author has brought well up to date. His vigorous and often epigrammatic sentences are far from easy to render into flowing English, and the work has cost the accomplished translator no little time and care. We are becoming used to the transformation of Christian thought by the advance of science during the last two hundred years.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the early history of the Christian Church, focusing on the challenges it faced in its formative years. The author delves into the tumultuous relationship between Christianity and Judaism, exploring how early Christians sought to break free from the strictures of Jewish law while simultaneously contending with the powerful forces of Roman paganism. The book then analyzes the nature of persecution, tracing its origins and evolution from local incidents to organized, empire-wide campaigns. The author reveals how Christian martyrdom played a crucial role in the religion's spread, despite the widespread apostasy and moral failings within the community. The book also investigates the internal struggles within the Church, highlighting the rise of Gnosticism and its influence on early Christian thought. By analyzing the origins and evolution of Gnosticism, the book demonstrates how early Christians sought to reconcile their faith with the philosophical and mystical currents of the time. Ultimately, this book offers a nuanced and insightful account of the early Church, revealing how it endured persecution, internal conflict, and the evolving cultural landscape to establish its enduring presence in the world.
