Written in 428 or 429 (De Dono Perseverantiae.) 7 PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION “THIS volume contains all the Anti-Pelagian writings of Augustin, collected by the Benedictine editors in their tenth volume, with the exception only of the two long works Against Julian, and The Unfinished Work, which have been necessarily excluded on account of their bulk. The translation here printed it that of the English version of Augustin’s works, published with Messrs. T. and T. Clark at Edinburgh. This translation has been carefully compared with the Latin throughout, and corrected on every page into more accurate conformity to its sense. But this; has not so altered its character that it ceases to be the Edinburgh translation, — bettered somewhat, but still essentially the same. The excellent translation of the three treatises, On the Spirit and the Letter, On Nature and Grace, and On the Proceedings of Pelagius, published in the early summer of this year by two Oxford scholars, Messrs. Woods and Johnston (London: David Nutt), was unfortunately too late in reaching America to be of any service to the editor. “What may be called the explanatory matter of the Edinburgh translation, has been treated here even more freely than the text. The headings to the chapters have been added to until nearly every chapter is now provided with a caption. The brackets which distinguished the notes added by the translator from those which he translated from the Benedictine editor, have been generally removed, and the notes themselves often verbally changed, or otherwise altered. A few notes have been added, — chiefly with the design of rendering the allusions in the text intelligible to the uninstructed reader; and the more lengthy of these have been enclosed in brackets, and signed with a W. The result of all this is, that it is unsafe to hold the Edinburgh translators too closely responsible for the unbracketed matter; but that the American editor has not claimed as his own more than is really his. “In preparing an Introductory Essay for the volume, two objects have been kept in view: to place the necessary Prolegomena to the following treatises in the hands of the reader, and to furnish the English reader with some illustrations of the Anti-Pelagian treatises from the other writings of Augustin. In the former interest, a brief sketch of the history of the 8 Pelagian controversy and of the Pelagian and Augustinian systems has been given, and the occasions, objects, and contents of the several treatises have been briefly stated. In the latter, Augustin’s letters and sermons have been as copiously extracted as the limits of space allowed. In the nature of the case, the sources have been independently examined for these materials; but those who have written of Pelagianism and of Augustin’s part in the controversy with it, have not been neglected. Above others, probably special obligations ought to be acknowledged to the Benedictine preface to their tenth volume, and to Canon Bright’s Introduction to his edition of Select Anti-Pelagian Treatises. The purpose of this essay will be subserved if it enables the reader to attack the treatises themselves with increased interest and readiness to assimilate and estimate their contents. “References to the treatises in the essay, and cross-references in the treatise themselves, have been inserted wherever they seemed absolutely necessary; but they have been often omitted where otherwise they would have been inserted because it has been thought that the Index of Subjects will suffice for all the needs of comparison of passages that are likely to arise. In the Index of Texts, an asterisk marks some of those places where a text is fully explained; and students of the history of Biblical Interpretation may find this feature helpful to them. It will not be strange, if, on turning up a few passages, they will find their notion of the power, exactness, and devout truth of Augustin as an interpreter of Scripture very much raised above that the current histories of interpretation have taught them.” The above has been prepared by Dr. Warfield. I need only add that the present volume contains the most important of the doctrinal and polemical works of Augustin, which exerted a powerful influence upon the Reformers of the sixteenth century and upon the Jansenists in the seventeenth. They constitute what is popularly called the Augustinian system, though they only represent one side of it. Enough has been said on their merits in the Prolegomena to the first volume, and in the valuable Introductory Essay of Dr. WARFIELD, who has been called to fill the chair of systematic theology once adorned by the learning and piety of the immortal HODGES, father and son. 9 The remaining three volumes will contain the exegetical writings of the great Bishop of Hippo. Philip Schaff. New York, September, 1887. 10 INTRODUCTORY ESSAY ON AUGUSTIN AND THE PELAGAIN CONTROVERSY BY PROFESSOR BENJAMIN B. WARFIELD, D. D A SELECT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF THE PELAGIAN CONTROVERSY (Adapted from Dr. Schaff’s Church History, vol. in.) I. THREE works of Pelagius, printed among the works of Jerome (Vallarsius’ edition, vol. xi.): viz, the Exposition on Paul’s Epistles, written before 410 (but somewhat, especially in Romans, interpolated); the Epistle to Demetrius, 413; and the Confession of Faith, 417, addressed to Innocent I. Copious fragments of other works (On Nature, In Defence of Free Will, Chapters, Letters to Innocent) are found quoted in Augustin’s refutations; as also of certain works by COELESTIUS (e.g., his Definitions, Confession to Zosimus), and of the writings of JULIAN. Here also belong CASSIAN’S Collationes Patrum, and the works of the other semi-Pelagian writers. II. AUGUSTIN’S anti-Pelagian treatises; also his work On Heresies,88, 428; many of his letters, as e.g., those numbered by the Benedictines, 140, 157, 178, 179, 190, 191, 193, 194; and many of his sermons, as e.g., 155, 163, 165, 168, 169, 174, 176, 293, 294, etc.

  • Philip Schaff's Interpretation of Nineteenth-Century American
    BOOK REVIEWS 125 On the other hand-and incidentally showing strong belief in the afterlife-here are the tender words from a Jewish catacomb in Rome, inscribed in Latin by a husband on the tomb of his dead wife: Here lies Regina, covered by this tomb, which her husband decided was appropriate for his love. She will live again, and will return to the light again. This your piety has accorded to you, this your chaste life, this your love of your people, this your observance of the Law, your devotion to your marriage, whose repute was your concern. For all these deeds your hope for a future life is assured. From all of this your sorrowing husband seeks comfort. (CII, no. 476) While Greco-Roman anti-Semitism is well known, even notorious, the pro- Jewish attitude of many governmental figures and intellectuals in antiquity is often overlooked. Again this collection provides a welcome balance by devoting two chapters-at least 43 pages-to citations from Greek and Roman statesmen and thinkers that are distinctly philo-Semitic. These include not only the familiar extracts of decrees in Syria, Asia Minor, Greece, and Italy favorable to the Jews that are found in the pages of Josephus, but laws and exemptions of Roman emperors ruling in the second to fifth centuries A.D. that were supportive of Jewish rights and privileges. The Theodosian Code, for example, even permitted Jews to own Christian slaves, and this at a time-A.D. 415-when most of Rome had converted to Christianity: We order the Jews who are owners of Christian slaves that they shall have them without [legal] chicanery, on this condition, however, that they shall permit them to keep their proper religion.

  • Fifty Years of Progress in Church History
    F1'!ty 1'ea1's of Proqrese in Church History, 65 FIFTY YEARS OF PROGRESS IN CHURCH HISTORY. RY ALBERT HENRY NEWMAN, D.D., LL.D., PROFESSOR OF CHURCH HISTORY IN THE SOUTHWESTERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY, WACO, TEXAS. No new epoch in the study and writing of Church History is marked by the date of the founding of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, though the founding of this institution may no doubt be regarded as marking an epoch in the history of the Baptists of the Southland. Long before the year of our Lord, 1859, the principles and methods which since that date have guided historical study and teaching and writing, had come into effective application and had produced in Germany a literature that endures and will endure. The fresh impulse given to historical studies in general by the Hegelian philoso­ phy, with its profound conviction that no phase of life or thought is fortuitous or insignificant, but that each has its place in the working out of the great scheme of ideas that constitutes the goal of history, had already borne fruit abundantly in the writings of F. C. Baur, Gieseler, Neander and Hase in the field of general Church History, and a good start had been made in exhaustive research work on individual leaders and movements ann in local ecclesiastical histories. Ferdinand Christian Baur survived the beginning of our half-century by a single year, but his distinctive work was done many years before, and he had been influential in directing the studies of several church historians who predeceased him, as well as many that outlived him and extended their activities into the present period.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF EARLY PREMILLENNIALISM Tom's Perspectives by Thomas Ice I believe that premillennialism is so clearly taught in Revelation 19 and 20 that I still cannot understand how anyone can think otherwise without realizing deep down that they are going against the biblical text. A kingdom reign of the Messiah was just as clearly taught in the Old Testament. Jesus and His Scripture writing disciples also support the notion of an earthly kingdom headed by the Messiah. Such clearness in the Bible provides the likely reason why the early church fathers who spoke on this matter were all premillennialists. THE FIRST PREMILLENNIALISTS The first premillennialists were those who received God’s revelation and wrote it down in the Bible. Eusebius tells us that one of the earliest church fathers that had heard the Apostle John and others who had known the Lord and His Apostles was Papias (A.D. 60–130) the bishop of Hierapolis in Phrygia, Asia Minor.

  • History of the Christian Church, Volume VI: the Middle Ages
    History of the Christian Church, Volume VI: The Middle Ages. A.D. 1294-1517 Author(s): Schaff, Philip (1819-1893) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian CLassics Ethereal Library Description: Philip Schaff©s History of the Christian Church excels at providing an impressive and instructive historical treatment of the Christian church. This eight volume work begins with the early Church and ends at 1605 with the Swiss Reforma- tion. Schaff©s treatment is comprehensive and in depth, dis- cussing all the major (and minor!) figures, time periods, and movements of the Church. He includes many footnotes, maps, and charts; he even provides copies of original texts in his treatment. One feature of the History of the Christian Church that readers immediately notice is just how beautifully written it is--especially in comparison to other texts of a sim- ilar nature. Simply put, Schaff©s prose is lively and engaging. As one reader puts it, these volumes are "history written with heart and soul." Although at points the scholarship is slightly outdated, overall History of the Christian Church is great for historical referencing. Countless people have found History of the Christian Church useful. Whether for serious scholar- ship, sermon preparation, daily devotions, or simply edifying reading, History of the Christian Church comes highly recom- mended.

  • Philip Schaff: Theological Historian
    1 That Christ Might be All in All: The Career, Historiography, and Ecumenical Hope of Philip Schaff Introduction Philip Schaff was one of the greatest Christian scholars of the nineteenth century. Born in Switzerland and educated in Germany, Schaff would wind up spending his entire career in America. He labored for half a century as one of the preeminent scholars of his time as an accomplished historian, biblical scholar, and theologian. But in all of his accomplishments, one thing reigned supreme in his mind and heart: an unquenchable love for Jesus Christ and his Church. The purpose of the following paper is to provide an analysis of the life and work of this great man and to demonstrate that, through all of his labors, the two controlling features in the life and thought of Philip Schaff were his idea of historical development and his unceasing hope in, and desire for, the dawning of a day of unity and peace in the Christian Church. We will proceed by first looking briefly at Schaff’s life and career. After this is done an analysis of his doctrine of historical development and his idea of “evangelical catholicism” will be provided. The Career of Philip Schaff Philip Schaff was born on January 1, 1819 in Chur, Switzerland, the capital city of the canton of the Grisons. His Father died when he was very young and he was left in an orphanage by his mother shortly thereafter. From his earliest days, Philip demonstrated that he had a very gifted intellect and an encyclopedic mind. In 1835, at age sixteen, he underwent somewhat of a conversion experience and devoted himself to divine service.1 He went to Germany in 1837 to 2 begin his university studies at Tübingen, where he stayed until 1839.
