The Great Boer War

Publiziert am 22. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

The Great Boer War – Arthur Conan Doyle

Arthur Conan Doyle states the case against himself with entire fairness in the preface to his “The Great Boer War.” He wrote the volume partly in England and partly on the steamer in passage, finishing it in Bloemfontein while professionally engaged during the epidemic among the wounded soldiers there. “Often,” he says, “the only documents which I had to consult were the wounded officers and men who were under our care.” Elsewhere he speaks of the volume being “compiled with as much accuracy as is attainable at this date.” But the history, such as it is, has commanded the highest praise in England, and it seems to be designed exclusively for British … Read more.../Mehr lesen ...

The War in South Africa

Publiziert am 22. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

The War in South Africa – Arthur Conan Doyle

“The War in South Africa: Its Cause and Conduct” is a statement of the British case. Dr. Doyle does not pretend that the right was absolutely on one side, nor that the British campaign has been above criticism. His contention is that the British Government did its best to avoid war, and that the British army did its best to wage it with humanity. He considers the various charges brought against the British soldiers, the management of the concentration camps, and the cases of farm-burning, and his conclusions amount, on the whole, to a vindication of the British army.

The Sacred Writings of the Apocrypha of the New Testament

Publiziert am 21. Mai 2017 von Jazzybee

The Sacred Writings of the Apocrypha of the New Testament – Matthew Brown Riddle

While the early Church exercised proper discernment, and the Canon of the New Testament was soon definitely recognised and universally accepted, the apocryphal writings were not without influence. The sacred legends, the ecclesiastical traditions, all too potent in their effect, are in many cases to be traced to these writings. Much that Rome inculcates is derived from these books, which the Western Church constantly rejected.

Included are:

The Protevangelium of James
The Gospel of Pseudo-Matthew
The Gospel of the Nativity of Mary
The History of Joseph the Carpenter
The Gospel of Thomas
The Gospel of Nicodemus
The Letter of Pontius Pilate
.. and many more …… Read more.../Mehr lesen ...
