Synopsis
Excerpt from The Second Century
The translations of the passages quoted are; as a rule, from the volumes in Early Church Classics.
It is impossible for anyone who loves the history of the Church not to express his reverence for the great name of Lightfoot; for one who was once a Lightfoot scholar in Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge it would be wrong not to do so. Accuracy, knowledge, and reverence were once the characteristics of our English theologians. Dr. Lightfoot, in his studies of the second century, showed us all these at their best, and it is to be hoped that English scholars, throwing 03 German influences, will now happily return to the paths where he is our guide.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Christianity and the development of the Church in the second century AD, a period of profound significance in the growth of Christianity. After discussing the vital links between the New Testament and the emergence of Christian thought, the book delves into the Apostolic Age and its impact on the shaping of doctrine, the establishment of ministry, and the expression of Christian living in the community. It provides an in-depth look at the role of individuals like Ignatius and Clement of Rome, the significance of the Letter of Pliny, and the emergent conflict between the Church and the Roman Empire. The book concludes by examining the spread of Christianity and its unique characteristics that set it apart from the society of the time, including the practice of 'The Way of Life.' Through its examination of the second century Church, it offers fresh insights into the evolution of Christian theology and practice, and the challenges and triumphs it faced in its formative years.
