Landmarks In The History Of Early Christianity Classic Reprint

Excerpt from Landmarks in the History of Early Christianity The following chapters are the lectures given in the spring of 1919 on the Haskell Foundation of Oberlin College. They have been somewhat expanded in the course of preparation for the press, but have not been materially changed. At the time of the delivery of these lectures I was busy with the chapter on "Primitive Christianity " in the Prolegomena to Acts, and was glad of the opportunity to re-state some of the conclusions reached in that book in a less technical form and with more attention to their bearing on some of the larger questions of religion and thought, such as the Teaching of Jesus, the Hope of Immortality, and the Development of Christology. I did not hesitate to make use of one or two paragraphs from the larger book, and I think that my friend, Mr. C. G. Montefiore, will forgive me for having borrowed two beautiful stories from his chapter in it. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
