Excerpt from The Growth of Church Institutions

And since the work is thus designed for general readers, and is a summary of results rather than a detailed explanation of the facts upon which they are based, the writer has not thought it desirable to encumber the pages with more than the most necessary references to his authorities. But since the scantiness of the references may convey to some minds an erroneous impression that the evidence also is scanty, the writer thinks it proper to add that he is not aware of having made any state ment which he is not also ready to support by sufficient proofs.

Excerpt from The Growth of Church Institutions

The present work is an endeavour to give an answer to questions which are frequently asked in regard to the apparently wide differences between the primitive and the modern forms of some Christian institutions. It is designed less for scholars than for general readers who are interested in theological subjects. Its aim is to be not controversial, but historical. It is a summary of the results at which the writer has arrived from an independent study of original sources, and the meagreness with which some important subjects are treated is due to the fact that it is intended to be supplemented hereafter by a more elaborate work, which the writer has for some time had in preparation.
