PREFACE l'r was the duty of the writer to endeavour to combine in this volume the manifold detail which the student requires, with the points of view and the modes of treatment which make a book readable. How far he has succeeded, others must judge. He has thought it due to the subject and the reader to express frankly the impression on his own mind which the various topics have made. He hopes, notwith­ standing, that he has not allowed personal bias to obscul'e the objective realities of the history. In the Appendix, besides supplementary notes on literature a few details are added which had been acci­ dentally omitted in the text.

S11pplementary Notes to Chapters 525-531 THE ANCIENT CATHOLIC CHURCH -+-- INTRODUCTION AN earlier volume of the Series was devoted to the sub­ ject of Apostolic Christianity. The present narrative proposes to contemplate the life, growth, and influence of what, as distinguished from medi::eval and later develop­ ments, is called the early Catholic Church. '.I.'he period in view is nearly that which has been named the Patristic. It has also been denominated, but not perhaps very happily, the period of Christianity under its Antique and Classical form. 1 The last survivor of the apostles, John, is said to have died at Ephesus near the end of the first century. Apostolic guidance had by that time become only a memory in most of the churches; but for years after, and deep into the following century, vivid impressions of Apostles and their sayings were preserved and rehearsed in various churches. Near the end, then, of the first century our task opens. The close might be placed as early as the pontificate of Gregory I., A.D. 5 9 0-6 0 4, or, on other accounts, as late as the reign of Charlemagne, say A.D. 800. The present volume carries the history down to A.D. 451. A subsequent volume will cover the rest, and also the transition period down to Gregory VII. A great landmark in the history of the Early Church 1 So Kurtz. I 2 THE ANCIENT CATHOLIC CHURCH is furnished in the change by which, in the days 0£ Constantine, the Roman Empire allied itself with Chris­ tianity.

  • ABSTRACT the Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories Of
    ABSTRACT The Apostolic Tradition in the Ecclesiastical Histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret Scott A. Rushing, Ph.D. Mentor: Daniel H. Williams, Ph.D. This dissertation analyzes the transposition of the apostolic tradition in the fifth-century ecclesiastical histories of Socrates, Sozomen, and Theodoret. In the early patristic era, the apostolic tradition was defined as the transmission of the apostles’ teachings through the forms of Scripture, the rule of faith, and episcopal succession. Early Christians, e.g., Irenaeus, Tertullian, and Origen, believed that these channels preserved the original apostolic doctrines, and that the Church had faithfully handed them to successive generations. The Greek historians located the quintessence of the apostolic tradition through these traditional channels. However, the content of the tradition became transposed as a result of three historical movements during the fourth century: (1) Constantine inaugurated an era of Christian emperors, (2) the Council of Nicaea promulgated a creed in 325 A.D., and (3) monasticism emerged as a counter-cultural movement. Due to the confluence of these sweeping historical developments, the historians assumed the Nicene creed, the monastics, and Christian emperors into their taxonomy of the apostolic tradition. For reasons that crystallize long after Nicaea, the historians concluded that pro-Nicene theology epitomized the apostolic message. They accepted the introduction of new vocabulary, e.g. homoousios, as the standard of orthodoxy. In addition, the historians commended the pro- Nicene monastics and emperors as orthodox exemplars responsible for defending the apostolic tradition against the attacks of heretical enemies. The second chapter of this dissertation surveys the development of the apostolic tradition.

  • Thesis Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Brunel
    SOCIAL STATUS AND CONVERSION The Structure. of the Early Christian Communities Dimitris J. Kyrtatas Thesis presented for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Brunel University Department of Sociology and Social Anthropology April 1982 TO My pARENTS ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with social aspects of early Christianity, It considers the social origins and careers of the early Christians, as far as they can be traced in the scanty and fragmented evidence. The spread of Christianity is examined in relation to the prevailing social and economic conditions of the Roman world in the first centuries AD, The Christian attitudes to slavery and the penetration of Christianity into the countryside are discussed at some length. The evidence considered does not justify the traditional views which regard early Christianity as a religion of the underprivileged and the oppressed. Except for the imperial slaves and a small number of favour- ites of Christian masters, slaves, as far as it can be established, were not eager to embrace the new relegion, while in-the countyside, Christi- anity seems to have found its first adherants among the landowning and Hellenized peasants* In the cities, besides bankerst artisans and prosperous freedmen, Christianity attractedq as it is illustrated, many people of leisurep education and wealth, Overall, it is maintained, that although in principle Christianity drew its members from all social classes and groups, professing egalitarian doctrines, it was in effect more successful with the middle classes of the cities, which it organized under the leadership of wealthy and highly educated church officials. Millennial and prophetic tendencies, with strong social implicationst such as were manifest among the first generation of Christians, survived or were revived only as marginal phenomenat especially in the countryside.

  • Fr. Thomas Kuzhinappurathu.Pmd
    INTRODUCTION The only Christian law we have is the law of love – love of God and love of neighbour. Jesus said, “I give you a new commandment that you love one another” (Jn.13, 34). All other laws are supposed to be specifications of the law of love. They are meant to help us to love God and our neighbour better in specific situations. The 1546 canons of the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches (CCEO) are meant to promote this law of love. It is also noteworthy that the new code of canons gives great importance to pastoral exigencies. In confronting the Pharisees Jesus said, “The Sabbath was made for humankind, not humankind for the Sabbath” (Mk.2, 27). Here Jesus teaches that laws should be framed for the good of man. They are not meant to enslave people. It further implies that every law must be discussed in order to be more fully understood. Some laws are time-bound and culturally conditioned. If they are obsolete they should be changed and replaced with more useful laws. I remember my friend Fr. Augustine Joseph telling me about a recent movie called, Provoked. It is a true story about a Punjabi girl who marries a Punjabi boy settled in London. As their marriage progresses the girl suffers great violence from her husband. Unable to stand it any longer she one day sets her husband on fire as he sleeps. She is arrested by the police and convicted for the crime. A human rights organization in London takes up her case and appeals for a retrial.

  • Northlane – 2D (EP)
    Northlane – 2D (EP) (22:18, Vinyl, Digital, UNFD, 2020/2021) Auf den Namen Northlane stieß ich persönlich zum ersten Mal, als ich mich mit „The Remnants Of Losing Yourself In Someone Else“ beschäftigte, dem Debütalbum der R&B-Prog- Formation Glass Ocean. Deren Schlagzeuger Nic Petterson verdrischt nämlich hauptberuflich die Felle der australischen Chartsstürmer. Chartsstürmer? Ja! Denn obwohl die Band in Europa noch relativ unbekannt ist, schaffte es das Quartett aus Sydney bereits mit seinem zweiten Album „Singularity“ (2013) auf Platz 3 der australischen Albumcharts. Das zwei Jahre später erschienene „Node“ erlangte sogar deren Spitze, während dessen Nachfolger „Mesmer“ (2017) und „Alien“ (2019) es jeweils auf die dritten Stufe des Siegertreppchen schafften. Ursprünglich dem Metalcore zugerechnet, entfernten sich Northlane auf „Singularity“ erstmals vom klassischen Metalcore ihres Debütalbums „Discoveries“ (2011) und öffneten sich für progressive Einflüsse im Stile von Meshuggah und Between The Buried And Me. Hierbei beließen es die Australier jedoch nicht, sondern fügten ihrem Gesamtsound über die Jahre immer wieder neue Stilelemente hinzu, so dass auf dem letzten Album Metalcore, Progressive Metal, Nu Metal Industrial und EDM zusammenkamen. Mit „2D“, ihrer neuesten EP, gehen die Sydneysider, diese Entwicklung jedoch nicht weiter, sondern sie legen vielmehr eine Art Zäsur ein. Denn bei den fünf sich auf „2D“ befindenden Aufnahmen handelt es sich allesamt um neu arrangierte akustische Versionen von Liedern, die ursprünglich auf „Alien“ zu finden waren und vom Sänger der Band im Alleingang während des Corona-Lockdowns eingespielt worden sind. Frontmann Marcus Bridge hierzu: Eine Akustik-EP aufzunehmen ist etwas, was wir schon seit geraumer Zeit machen wollten und das sich mit der persönlichen Natur der Stücke von „Alien“ richtig angefühlt hat.
