Excerpt from Lectures Upon the Ecclesiastical History of the First Three Centuries, From the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ, to the Year 313
Ir will perhaps be remarked, that the following Lectures upon the ecclesiastical history of the first century might have been entitled with equal propriety, Lectures upon the Acts of the Apostles. The remark is not inapplicable to the first nine Lectures: and instead of feeling a wish to remove such an objection, I would state at the commencement of this preface, that one of my objects in delivering these Lectures was to furnish a commentary upon the Acts of the Apostles, which might be useful to persons who were studying that work, as well as to the general reader of ecclesiastical history.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book discusses the history of the first century of the Christian Era, seen through the lens of the first nine chapters of the Acts of the Apostles. The author consulted various chronological sources, including Pagi, Eusebius, and Natalis Alexander, to provide a meticulously researched narrative that complements the biblical text. The author divides the century into two major periods, the seventy years before the deaths of Peter and Paul, and the thirty years following. The author contends that the latter period is less well known, and this book seeks to illuminate it through historical inquiry. A table with key chronological data, including the reigns of Roman emperors and appointments of prominent bishops, is provided. By examining the development of Christianity in its earliest years, this book sheds light on the profound impact it has had on global history and culture.
