Sinopsis
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.

Excerpt from The Second Century
These reading Church history of the second century may be useful, it is hoped, for use both in church and privately. They aim at giving a simple account of a period, sometimes supposed to be very difficult, sometimes very chaotic, and for both these reasons much neglected. I have tried to give the ordinary reader some information about the greater characters, the Christian literature, and the Church life of the second century. Many devout Christians know little about them, although there is every reason why an earnest and otherwise well informed Churchman should know something of the Early Church.
But I have a further hope that this little book may lead some of its readers to study Church history further in larger modern books or through translations, at any rate, in some of the early Christian writers themselves, If they do this they will understand their New Testament better; they will understand and love their own Church better. To see Christian worship in its earlier days, to know what S. Ignatius said or S. Irenæus taught, how the Apologists pleaded the Christian cause and described the Christian way of life-all these are, happily, both easy and profitable. To help those who may wish to do this I have added a list of books which they will find useful.

Paperback. Condición: 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.
