The Church And Its Battle With Gnosticism, Luther Koepke
The Church And Its Battle With Gnosticism, Luther Koepke
Bachelor of Divinity
As we look at Gnosticism we find it a counterfeit of the true and Christ-founded Church. To the people living at the height of the Gnostic heresy this erroneous teaching and Christianity must have seemed similar. Similar terms, and similar concepts, but Gnosticism offering these by a different method. Gnosticism came in similar garb, offered like benefits, but gave soul-destroying results.
Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz
Gnosticism And Its Conflict With Christianity, Gerhardt Nitz
Bachelor of Divinity
The study of such a movement as Gnosticism is doubly important to the student of' theology. This is a phase of history which greatly influenced the church in its infancy. It has left marks upon the church which will never be erased. Moreover, a study of this heresy is essential for the proper understanding of the New Testament. Again, the influence of Gnosticism, as will be pointed out later continued for many centuries. Such a deeply rooted, powerful, paganistic tendency cannot be lightly passed by.
Some Contacts Of The Book Of Acts With The Every-Day Life Of Its Age, H. A. Keinath
Some Contacts Of The Book Of Acts With The Every-Day Life Of Its Age, H. A. Keinath
Concordia Theological Monthly
New Testament Christianity, first garbed in the swaddling-clothes of Semitism, soon exchanged its outward dress for the more practical robes of Hellenism. Jesus of Nazareth was active in a little speck of ground on the edge of the mighty Roman Empire; His language was Aramaic, His disciples were Jews, His contacts and the intellectual atmosphere of the men among whom He moved were chiefly Jewish. Yet within a few years after His resurrection Christianity had gone beyond the sphere of distinctly Jewish surroundings and had begun its mission of world conquest. This explosion immediately required an accommodation in the field …
Christian Missions In China Before Morrison, Walter G. Polack
Christian Missions In China Before Morrison, Walter G. Polack
Concordia Theological Monthly
Less than a half century after Augustine of Canterbury began his work of Christianizing the Anglo-Saxons in England; nearly a half century before Boniface, the so-called Apostle of the Germans, was born; fully two hundred years before Ansgar, the Apostle of the North, began his work of founding the Christian Church among the Northmen; and long before Christianity had came to the Moravians, Bulgarians, Bohemians, Hungarians, Pomeranians, Prussians, Poles, Russians, and other people that make up the Western Christian world to-day, Christianity was brought to China, that far-fung land with its teeming millions of inhabitants, which in spite of all …
Mithraism And Early Christianity, Edward A. Jenne
Mithraism And Early Christianity, Edward A. Jenne
Bachelor of Divinity
The word Mystery was the name of a religious society, founded not on citizenship or kindred, but on the choice of its members, for the practice of rites by which, it was believed, their happiness might be promoted both in this world and in the next.
The Causes Of The Persecution Of The Early Christians, Karl H. Maier
The Causes Of The Persecution Of The Early Christians, Karl H. Maier
Bachelor of Divinity
The popular and traditional view of the persecutions of the Christiane considers them to be ten in number lasting from 64 to 311 A.D. The persecutions are looked upon as fiendish and arbitrary attacks of various emperors against Christianity out of hatred, and periods of comparative quiet appear to be indication that some emperors favored or recognized Christianity. The consideration of the persecutions in this light leads to the opinion that they were all of the same nature, and gives no indication of the real depth of the conflict and the issues involved.
