Synopsis
Excerpt from The Social Results of Early Christianity
I have to thank M. Schmidt for permission to trans late his book into English, Dr. Dale for his Preliminary Essay, and J. L. Paton, Esq., for assistance with the classical notes.
The completeness with which M. Schmidt gives the authorities upon which his statements rest, adds greatly to the value of his book.
Born into a world in which the institutions are at least coloured by Christianity, we can hardly realize either what they have been without it, or to what they may yet rise with a fuller appreciation of its principles and Spirit.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the pivotal role of Christianity in transforming Roman society. Analyzing ancient morality, it demonstrates how Roman society placed supreme importance on individual happiness, often at the expense of others, fostering a culture of egoism and self-interest. The state, seen as superior to the individual, demanded absolute loyalty, while citizens held foreigners and slaves in contempt. Christianity challenged these norms, introducing the concepts of universal love, equality, and the inherent dignity of all people. The author traces the gradual transformation of social structures, laws, and institutions as Christian ideals took root, arguing that Christianity's emphasis on compassion, forgiveness, and service to others laid the foundation for a more just and humane social order, setting the stage for the moral progress of Western Civilization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781331093664_0
