Church History Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Readings in Church History The purpose of the present work is not to increase the number of text-books or to intrude into the domain of the finished and elaborate treatises with which scholars are familiar, but by a series of pleasing and instructive studies to lead the general reader both to further research and to a deeper love for the Church of God. The sequence of time and of order has been observed, yet each chapter is so designed that perusal need not be continuous or con secutive. In these pages, as the master of history may find views expressed and interpretations given which will serve at least to support or to make known con elusions not popularly recognized, so may the beginner discover a completeness which, though rude, is still sufficiently suggestive to leave upon the mind a cor rect impression.
