Excerpt from The Christian Ecclesia: A Course of Lectures, on the Early History and Early Conceptions of the Ecclesia and One Sermon
They contain a careful survey of the evidence to be derived from the literature of the Apostolic age for the solution of a fundamental problem.
The title 'ecclesia' was chosen, as the opening lecture explains, expressly for its freedom from the distracting associations which have gathered round its more familiar synonyms. It is in itself a sufficient indication of the spirit of genuine historical enquiry in which the study was undertaken.
