Synopsis
Excerpt from The Church's Task Under, the Roman Empire: Four Lectures With Preface, Notes, and an Excursus
These four Lectures, delivered in the Oxford Schools in the Michaelmas Term of 1904, are an attempt to sketch in broad outlines the nature of the task which lay before the Church when she set out in obedience to the divine call to evangelize the gracco-roman world, and the degree in which she was enabled to fulfil that task within the compass of the first five centuries.

Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the early Church evolved within the Roman Empire, focusing on the education, religious beliefs, and morality of the people who filled its ranks. Drawing on recent research, the author highlights the importance of studying the relationship between the Empire and the Church before Constantine's recognition of Christianity. Through analysis of literary sources, such as sermons, letters, and pagan texts, the book uncovers the influence of widespread literacy and the prevalence of rhetoric on Christian thought and practices. The author argues that, while the Roman educational system played a crucial role in spreading Roman culture, its focus on eloquence and aesthetics hindered the development of scientific and philosophical inquiry. The Church, in contrast, embraced a new emphasis on personal experience and the sanctity of the individual, fostering a profound shift in moral and social values. This detailed and thought-provoking study offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of pagan and Christian ideas during the formative centuries of Christianity. 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 # 9781331796596_0
