Persecution in the Early Church: A Chapter in the History of Renunciation

Persecution in the Early Church: A Chapter in the History of Renunciation

Herbert B. Workman
0/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The subject of persecution in the early Church, treated as a whole, has been somewhat neglected by English writers. The legal aspects of the matter, the relations of the Church to the Empire, and the nature of the courts and procedure by which the Christians were condemned have been fully dealt with in the researches of Ramsay, Hardy, and others . . . Persecution also, treated merely from the standpoint of the Church, the experiences of the martyrs, has, of course, never lacked presentation in this country from the days of Foxe onward . . . [A] treatment of the subject as a whole, in its legal, historical, ecclesiastical, and experiential aspects, is what I have attempted in the following pages . . . While I trust that no aspect of the subject has been neglected, special attention has been drawn to those aspects of the inner life of the Church which led to persecution.



Contents

1. The Master and His Disciples

2. Casesar or Christ

3. The Causes of Hatred

4. The Great Persecution

5. The Experiences of the Persecuted
