The Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles (Classic Reprint)

(Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles To brin...)

Excerpt from The Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles To bring out a revised edition of Dr Bigg's Doctrine of the Twelve Apostles is not an easy task for one who, though he has learnt much from the writings of that eminent scholar, is unable to follow him in his argument in favour of a late date for this manual of instruction and worship. Dr Bigg took up an isolated position in assigning it to the fourth century; and as the present editor agrees with the great majority of those who have studied the question, in assigning it rather to the early part of the second century, it seems best to reproduce in the Introduction and Notes Dr Bigg's argument, as much as possible in his own words, and then to state, with all deference, the reasons why it does not appear to be conclusive. Since the first edition of this book was published, among the most important contributions to our knowledge of the subject are those by Dr J. Armitage Robinson and Dr C. H. Turner.

A Critical and Exegetical Commentary on the Epistles of St. Peter and St. Jude (Classic Reprint)

(But on this subject no more need be said ;the shortcoming...)

But on this subject no more need be said ;the shortcomings of the work will be at least as evident to others as to myself. The books that I have used most for the purpose of the commentary are those of A lford, Kuhl, and von Soden, that of Dr. Hort for part of the First Epistle of St. Peter, that of Spitta for 2P eter and Jude. Of Introductions I know at first hand only those of Salmon, B. Weiss, Westcott, Julicher, and Zahn, the excellent articles of Dr. Chase in Hastings Dictionary of the Bible, and Harnack s Chronologie. No one can write of the early Church without feeling how greatly he has been helped in an infinity of directions by the eminent scholar last named. But the apparatus of a commentator on the New Testament ought to be much wider than it usually is. The Antinomians with whom we meet in 2P eter and Jude cannot be understood from the New Testament alone. To see what they were we must turn not merel to Corinthians, Thessalonians, or the A pocalypse, but to the lives of Luther and Wesley, to the times of Eckhart, Tauler and Ruysbroek, or to such books as Barclay s Inner Life of the Religious Societies of the Commonwealth. Every great religious upheaval repro Valuable summaries of the Literature are found for i and 2P eter Hastings D. of the B., vol. iii. pp. 817, 818 ;for Jude, vol. ii. pp. 805, 806, and Smith sD. of the B., vol. i. p. 1839, ed. 1893.

Neo-Platonism (Classic Reprint)

(Platonism, a large and intricate subject. But, narrow as ...)

Platonism, a large and intricate subject. But, narrow as are our limits, it is not possible to enter fairly upon the task without a brief review of Stoicism. This school of thought, the Porch, as it is often called, from the Painted Porch at A thens where its first professors lectured, was founded in the third century before Christ, by Zeno, Cleanthes and Chrysippus, and was predominant in Rome from the time of Nero to that of Marcus A urelius. It affected Platonism partly by direct influence, but still more by way of re-action. In the days of Epictetus, under the Flavian emperors, the only schools, that could be regarded as serious rivals of Stoicism in the capital, were the Academics and theE picureans. Peripatetics, the disciples of A ristotle, were, he tells us, few and faint hearted Plato himself was hardly rea4 at all.

(Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part...)

Leopold is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. This means that we have checked every single page in every title, making it highly unlikely that any material imperfections – such as poor picture quality, blurred or missing text - remain. When our staff observed such imperfections in the original work, these have either been repaired, or the title has been excluded from the Leopold Classic Library catalogue. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, within the book we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free.

Neoplatonism

(This book was originally published prior to 1923, and rep...)

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

The Origins of Christianity (Classic Reprint)

(Press on Monday, July 13, 1908. On the evening of that da...)

Press on Monday, July 13, 1908. On the evening of that day Dr. Bigg was seized by the illness of which he died, without any full return of consciousness, on July 15. A few days before he had told theS ecretary to theD elegates that, though he might polish up his work to some extent as it passed through the Press, the book was as he meant it to stand. The work of the editor has therefore been narrowly limited. I have verified the references, and have added a few where it appeared that clearness required them: but I have altered nothing except in the very few passages where the reference given seemed to me to be manifestly wrong. I do not know what changes Dr. Bigg himself might have introduced, but it has seemed right to leave the book as nearly as possible as it was when he sent it to the Press. It may be well, however, to say something of the nature of the book, and the place it proposes to fill. It is a summary account of the history and thought of the Church up to the point at which the persecuting edicts were withdrawn for the last time. Obviously, a period so long as this and beset with so many controversies would justify and, indeed, would seem to many to require more extended treatment than it has received here.
