The Sacred Writings of Eusebius Pamphilus

Publiziert am 19. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of Eusebius Pamphilus

This edition comprises the following works: ‘The Church History’ or ‘Ecclesiastical History’ – Eusebius and Pamphilus wrote the first surviving history of the Christian Church as a chronologically-ordered account, based on earlier sources complete from the period of the Apostles to their own epoch. This “historical account” has much of Eusebius’s own theological agenda intertwined with the factual text including his view on God, Christ, the Scriptures, the Jews, the church, pagans, and heretics. ‘The Life of Constantine’ (Vita Constantini) is a eulogy or panegyric, and therefore its style and selection of facts are affected by its purpose, rendering it inadequate as a continuation of the Church History. As the historian Socrates Scholasticus said, … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The Sacred Writings of St. John of Damascus

Publiziert am 19. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of St. John of Damascus

“Concerning the Orthodox Faith”, the third book of the “Fountain of Wisdom”, is the most important of John Damascene’s writings and one of the most notable works of Christian antiquity. Its authority has always been great among the theologians of the East and West. Here, again, the author modestly disavows any claim of originality – any purpose to essay a new exposition of doctrinal truth. He assigns himself the less pretentious task of collecting in a single work the opinions of the ancient writers scattered through many volumes, and of systematizing and connecting them in a logical whole. It is no small credit to John of Damascus that he was able to … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Isaiah 49 – 66

Publiziert am 17. November 2017 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On Isaiah 49 – 66 – John Calvin

Calvin produced commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. His commentaries cover the larger part of the Old Testament, and all of the new excepting Second and Third John and the Apocalypse. His commentaries and lectures stand in the front rank of Biblical interpretation. All who take delight in the Holy Scriptures are familiarly acquainted with the writings of The Prophet Isaiah. Every variety of taste finds in them its appropriate gratification. Lofty conceptions, illustrated by splendid imagery, and clothed in language usually copious and flowing, some times abrupt, but always graceful, leave no room for hesitation to pronounce him, with Bishop Lowth, to be “the … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On The Book Of Hosea

Publiziert am 17. November 2017 von Jazzybee

John Calvin’s Bible Commentaries On The Book Of Hosea – John Calvin

Calvin produced commentaries on most of the books of the Bible. His commentaries cover the larger part of the Old Testament, and all of the new excepting Second and Third John and the Apocalypse. His commentaries and lectures stand in the front rank of Biblical interpretation. This book embraces the most difficult portion, in some respects, of THE OLD TESTAMENT, and of that portion, as acknowledged by all, the most difficult is THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET HOSEA. Probably no part of Scripture is commonly read with so little benefit as THE MINOR PROPHETS, owing, no doubt, to the obscurity in which some parts are involved. That there … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The First Men in the Moon

Publiziert am 17. November 2017 von Jazzybee

The First Men in the Moon – H. G. Wells

There is probably no other living writer than the author of “The War of the Worlds” whose brain possesses that abnormal twist requisite to the production of such a story as “The First Men In the Moon.” The conception of a planet peopled by a race of articulated creatures, gigantic insects, endowed with something akin to human intelligence, whose entire life is passed not upon the moon’s surface, but miles below it. In chambers and passages hollowed out after the fashion of a colossal ant hill—all this described with that touch of verisimilitude which is the one thing which makes H. G. Wells readable, gives an uncanny, at times almost … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

History of Oakland County, Michigan

Publiziert am 16. November 2017 von Jazzybee

History of Oakland County, Michigan – Thaddeus D. Seeley

Oakland county is peculiarly fortunate in the variety of her charms and riches, to which truth these pages bear witness. With her landscape beauties and sunny lakes, she is drawing thousands to her who seek restful homes and profitable investments. At the same time, her soil is fertile and invites the practical farmer, dairyman and horticulturist, while in the urban centers, the industrial and commercial interests have obtained a firm foothold and assure livelihood and profit to the citizen. No county in the state has better schools, and, as will be made plain in the progress of this history, in no section has woman had a more extended or elevating influence. … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
