Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Lights and Shadows of Church Life
Such discovery is the business of students in ecclesiastical history, and help in this direction is an object designed and desired by the author of the present volume.
Our judgment of principles and persons should not be guided by the same rules. Principles are not affected by times and circumstances; they remain unalterable age after age, and what was taught by inspired Apostles remains the same yesterday, to-day, and for ever. -the forget fulness of this has caused more mischief in Christendom than historians have discovered. But individual character is in?uenced to a wonderful extent by the age in which our lots are cast. Christians of the first six centuries are not to be judged in the same way as Christians of the nineteenth.
