Excerpt from An Impartial and Succinct History of the Rise, Declension and Revival of the Church of Christ; From the Birth of Our Saviour to the Present Time, Vol. 2 of 2: With Faithful Characters of the Principal Personages, Ancient and Modern
An. 1363. One efl'ort more closed these impo tent attempts. John, king of France, instigated by the urgent exhortations, and won by the mighty promises of Urban V. Prepared to measure lances with the Saracenic Knights under the walls of Jerusalem; but a greater conqueror, whom Chris tian and Infidel are equally unable to resist, ar rested him in his mid career, laid him low in the dust, and all his vast preparations vanished, as the mist of the morning. Thus ended the vain strug gle - Mahomedism remained triumphant, and the cross yielded to the crescent. Though it must be owned with regard to the reality of the Christian life, it was as little to be found among the crusaders as among the Saracens themselves.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book follows the evolution of spiritual Christianity from the 14th to 15th centuries. It provides a broad view of the era's external state of the church, particularly concerning the Crusades and missionary efforts of the papacy, and the internal state of the church, with its struggles against perceived heresies and schisms as well as its influence on the arts and philosophy. The author contrasts the power and wealth of the church with the profound divisions exacerbated by the papacy and its schisms, and the resulting state of the church is described as deeply corrupt and debased. The book highlights the challenges the church faced during this period, providing insights into the factors that shaped the church's development and its lasting impact on Christianity.
