The Biblical Lois and Eunice are examples of the influence a devout grandmother and a faith-filled mother can have on the history of the Church and the world. At this Lenten Day of reflection we will take a look at some of the well known and lesser known women who have shaped our faith. With a mix of input, prayer, and some light-hearted moments, we’ll consider: What about me? What about us? This event will be held at Hampton Hall on Thursday, March 1, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Middle Ages 500-1000 1 3 The Dark Age Church Period of Barbarian Invasions AD 500—1000 Introduction With the endorsement of the Emperor and obligatory church membership for all Roman citizens across the empire, Roman Christianity continued to change the nature of the Church, in stead of visa versa. The humble beginnings were soon forgotten in the luxurious halls and civil power of the highest courts and assemblies of the known world. Who needs spiritual power when you can have civil power? The transition from being the persecuted to the persecutor, from the powerless to the powerful with Imperial and divine authority brought with it the inevitable seeds of corruption. Some say that Christianity won the known world in the first five centuries, but a closer look may reveal that the world had won Christianity as well, and that, in much less time. The year 476 usually marks the end of the Christian Roman Empire in the West.

Three of the volumes described in the articles are carefully preserved in libraries. The whereabouts of the fourth volume is a mystery which has so far defied solution. 3 CONTENTS: PAGE THE MONASTIC LIBRARIES. 5 ST MARGARET’S GOSPEL BOOK. 8 ST JEROMES LATIN BIBLE. 13 A MISSING VOLUME. 17 4 The Monastic Libraries ____________ By N. F. DONALD, M.A. Chairman of Dunfermline Public Library Committee. ____________ Very little reliable information is available concerning the size of the collections of books in Scottish monasteries immediately before the Reformation. In a volume printed for private circulation by Ernest A. Savage we find that the seven Scottish monastic houses mentioned had in the thirteenth century a total of 454 volumes. Melrose had most with 96 volumes, while Dunfermline had 43; and though these, on present day standards, may appear to be very small collections, it must be remembered that the size of all medieval libraries was restricted by the fact that books had to be copied by hand and that the finest of them, the illuminated manuscripts, represent many months, even years, of assiduous labour.

Haykin Haykin illustrates the key elements of the church’s teaching by referring to the lives and teachings of major figures of the time, most of whom are little known to nonspecialists. Everyone needs to know about these things, and this book is a great place to begin.” Gerald Bray, Research Professor of Divinity, Beeson Divinity School Rediscovering “This gem of a study sparkles with polished clarity. Haykin has skillfully un- earthed buried treasures among early church leaders. As an experienced guide, he has drawn from his own personal journey and decades of scholarly research. He presents valuable Patristic insights into apologetic engagement, missional work, spiritual formation, use of Scripture, theological discourse, communal the Church Fathers worship, personal piety, and approaches to suffering and martyrdom. From the apostolic fathers to the apostle to Ireland, Haykin’s investigations masterfully apply classical wisdom to contemporary concerns.” WHO THEY WERE Paul Hartog, Associate Professor, Faith Baptist Theological Seminary AND HOW THEY “This introduction by an eminent evangelical scholar opens the door to the riches of early Christianity for evangelicals in a splendidly concise handbook of sorts. Evangelicals, who are experiencing a renaissance of interest in the Fathers, SHAPED THE CHURCH need look no further than this volume for an introduction to many of the most significant figures in Christian history. Readers will be left wanting to learn even more. Evangelicals are indebted to Haykin for this well-written volume.” Steven A.

Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank all the professors and staff members at the MF for the encouragement and enriching knowledge throughout my studies. I also want to express my sincere gratitude to all the friends who helped me to proofread my thesis and improve its quality through their active support and participation. I want to devote this thesis to my supervisor. Oslo, Norway, May 2019 2 Abstract This study has explored the changed relationship between the church and the Roman Empire between the second and the fourth century as presented in the books Apology by Tertullian and The Death of the Persecutors by Lactantius and Life of Constantine by Eusebius. Tertullian presents the adverse condition of the church-state relationship at the end of the second century. He shows the vulnerable situation of the church and the church practitioners under the Pagan emperors. The Apology shows the persecution and its nature Christian had to face. On the other hand, The Death of the persecutors represents the time at the end of the third century when Christianity encountered The Great Persecution.

  • East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054”
    1 East and West: Cultural Dissonance and the “Great Schism of 1054” Margaret Trenchard-Smith, Loyola Marymount University Perception is an overwhelming force. Collective perceptions can be contra-factual. The memories of individuals, of institutions, often magnify the inconsequential, distort or omit. A failure of memory can be total, through accident or deliberate oblivion. Shared recollections and the narratives they form shape perceptions. Yet even when these things are faulty, they can have as much force as if they were sound—just as the effects of a rumor can be as damaging when false as when founded in fact.1 The “Great Schism of 1054” is perceived by many to be the momentous event that resulted in the permanent sundering of the “Western” Roman Catholic and “Eastern” Orthodox branches of Christendom.2 Factually, however, there is a problem with this perception, since it can plausibly be argued on technical and practical grounds (and has been argued by scholars like Francis Dvornik and Steven Runciman) that no schism occurred in 1054—certainly not the “Great Schism.”3 The perception of schism came about through cultural dissonance and alienation East and West which grew until at last the divorce became reality. When precisely that happened, however, is unclear. If not in 1054, when did the formal schism of the Great Church occur? Did it occur? From whose perspective, and by what criteria? There is no scholarly consensus on these questions.4 Please bear in mind that this paper has been written by an historian, not a theologian. These
