Excerpt from The Beginnings of Christianity, Vol. 2

In the first volume of this work Professor Wernle deals with the rise of the Christian religion as it manifests itself in the personality and teaching of Jesus and His immediate followers. This is the creative period, the period of great men. In the second volume we follow the fortunes of the new faith when the great men are succeeded by a great ecclesiastical organization. Henceforth it is within the rules and forms imposed upon it by this mighty organization that the Gospel has to find a footing and make its way among the populations of the ancient world. The free creative period, the period of the unfettered spirit, is succeeded by an age of anonymity in which institutions, dogmas and sacraments rise up and fill the place originally occupied by the great personalities of the first Christian generation.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating evolution of the Christian Church, tracing its journey from the charismatic leadership of apostles and prophets to the rise of a structured ecclesiastical organization. The author meticulously explores the factors that led to this transformation, highlighting the decline of the initial missionary zeal and the emergence of challenges such as Gnosticism. Set against the backdrop of the Roman Empire and the lingering influence of Judaism, the narrative examines the Church's response to these challenges through the development of the episcopacy, the formation of theological doctrines, and the emergence of a distinct Christian identity. The book sheds light on the complex interplay between Christianity and other belief systems of the time, including Judaism and Hellenism, and how these interactions shaped Christian theology and practice. By exploring the struggles, adaptations, and triumphs of the early Church, this book offers valuable insights into the historical forces that shaped Christianity as we know it today. The author's analysis reveals the enduring legacy of the early Church's response to its unique historical context, demonstrating how it navigated internal and external pressures to establish itself as a major religious and cultural force. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
