  • 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.

David Hoeveler Born in Switzerland and educated in Germany, Philip Schaff arrived in the United States in 1844 to be a professor at Mercersburg Theological Seminary. Evangelical Christianity dominated the American religious landscape at the time, but Schaff’s histories of the Christian Church opposed the hegemony. His reviewers criticized him for being a papist and a pantheist because his un-American Christianity seemed dangerous to evangelicalism.
