( About the Book The history of Christianity concerns the...)
About the Book The history of Christianity concerns the Christian religion, with its various denominations, from the life of Jesus Christ in the 1st century to the present. Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox Christianity spread to all of Europe in the Middle Ages, and since the Renaissance, has expanded throughout the world and become the world's largest religion (with over 2 billion faithful). At first persecuted, but later embraced by the Roman Empire, the East-West Schism, or Great Schism of 1054, separated the Church into Western (Latin) and Eastern (Greek) branches, i.e., Western Catholicism (based on Rome) and Eastern Orthodoxy (based on Constantinople). The rise of Islam resulted in a number of Crusades fought by Christian Armies from Europe, whose aim was to re-capture and hold Jerusalem. In 1453, Constantinople fell to the Ottoman Empire, and Christianity was almost completely removed from the territory that now comprises Turkey. The three most important traditions that emerged from the Protestant Reformation (1521-1610) were the Lutheran, Reformed (Calvinist, Presbyterian, etc.), and Anglican traditions.

(Dr. Robinson was prevailed upon to begin the dictation of...)
Dr. Robinson was prevailed upon to begin the dictation of an autobiography. At the same time the contributors and the topics for a memorial volume were agreed upon substantially as they now appear. Dr. Robinson was urged to tell his story with entire frankness, and equal frankness was asked from the contributors; they were also assured that what they might write, until it went to the publisher, would not come under any other eye than that of the editor. A more candid memorial volume than these plans have secured could hardly be found; yet a less discriminating book would not indicate so fine a reverence for him who is its subject. The Critical Estimates are pervaded by a conviction that the impress made by Dr. Robinson upon the thinking and the preaching of his denomination is the deepest that it has received in a generation ;the effort of the writers has been to determine and to state the sources and nature of an influence which, at the distance even of many years, is still rated by those who came under it as hardly less than prodigious.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1894 edition. Excerpt: ... ing of himself as a sacrifice for the race on the Cross, has become an Omnipotent Saviour to every one that will trust in him. Of the Kingship of Christ there is abundant testimony in the Scriptures. The glory of his kingdom is the theme of exultant praise with prophets, psalmists and apostles alike; it is to be a kingdom without limit of extent, duration or of magnificence. But of the nature of his kingly office and of his kingdom it will remain for us to speak more fully and precisely, when we come to treat of the constitution and government of the Christian Church. It is in the Church that Christ preeminently reigns, and it is through the instrumentality of the Church that his empire is to become universal, and its glory to be specially manifest. § 42--The Atonement. The priestly office of Christ has been exercised in making what in modern theological terminology, especially in that of the English language, is called the Atonement for sin. The word atonement has been used with great latitude of meaning; to denote what the schoolmen meant by satisfaction and what the Scriptures mean by propitiation and reconciliation; a two-sided word, representing, in respect to God, the expiation of guilt, and, in respect to man, his at one ment with God. This last named is its meaning in the single instance in which it occurs in our common English version of the New Testament; Ro. 5: 11. The term, therefore, when employed in designation of Christ's priestly office, must manifestly be understood to include, like his priesthood, all that he accomplished for us in his life as well as all that he procured for us by his death. The atonement of Christ was his whole objective work on earth, securing in those that believe in him their subjective...

administrator baptist clergyman editor educator orator professor president of university
Ezekiel Gilman Robinson was born on the ancestral farm in South Attleboro, Massachussets, the youngest of the four children of Ezekiel and Cynthia (Slack) Robinson. His early boyhood was spent at his birthplace and in that portion of Pawtucket which was then in the state of Massachusetts.
Robinson attended various schools, which in general, he states, did him more harm than good, and was poorly prepared for college at two academies, one in New Hampton, New Hampshire, and the other in Pawtucket, Massachusetts.
He graduated from Brown University in 1838.
He then did some graduate work at Brown, occasionally preaching with acceptance to his hearers and encouragement to himself. He was thus led to enter Newton Theological Institution, from which he graduated in 1842.
Judging him to be a promising candidate, the Baptist Church in Pawtucket of which he was a member licensed him to preach before he had finished his college course. After his graduation, for six months or more he represented the American Tract Society among the churches of Hartford County, Connecticut, with notable success.
His first pastorate was at the Cumberland Street Baptist Church, Norfolk, Virginia, where he was ordained in November 1842. Here he remained until the autumn of 1845, serving on leave of absence (1843 - 44) as chaplain of the University of Virginia, where he preached each Sunday and lectured once a week.
From October 1845 to September 1846 he was pastor of the Old Cambridge Baptist Church, Cambridge, Massachussets Leaving here in the interest of his wife's health, he became professor of Biblical interpretation in the Western Baptist Theological Institute, recently established at Covington, Kentucky.
With the virtual breaking up of that school in 1848 over the question of slavery, he accepted the pastorate of the Ninth Street Baptist Church, Cincinnati.
Early in 1853 he resigned to become professor of Biblical theology at the Rochester Theological Seminary, Rochester, New York. The substance of his lectures at Rochester is contained in his Christian Theology (1894). Among his other published works are a translation of Neander's Planting and Training of the Christian Church (1865); Lectures on Preaching (1883), delivered in 1882 at Yale; Principles and Practice of Morality (1888, 1891, 1896); Christian Evidences (1895); Christian Character, Baccalaureate Sermons (1896); and numerous articles, some of them in the Christian Review of which from 1859 to 1864 he was the editor.
From 1860 until 1872 he served as president of Rochester Theological Seminary, and in the latter year succeeded Alexis Caswell as president of Brown University.
He at once perceived the defects and needs of the institution and with all the force of his inflexible will inaugurated improvements.
After seventeen years of leadership he left the college far richer in equipment and much further advanced in educational policy. Resigning in March 1889 at the age of seventy-four, he continued active for the remainder of his life, preaching, lecturing, and from the fall of 1892 serving as professor of ethics and apologetics at the University of Chicago. His death occurred in a Boston hospital and he was buried in Rochester.

(Dr. Robinson was prevailed upon to begin the dictation of...)
Theologically, Robinson was unchained, rationalistic, and in advance of his times.
Quotations: Robinson said about his study at Brown University that he "drifted aimlessly into college and drifted aimlessly through it, waking up only during the last year to see what I might and ought to have done" (An Autobiography, post, p. 18).
In his mature years, Robinson revealed a vigorous will, intense application, and a bold, keen, acquisitive intellect. Pre-eminently a thinker, and endowed with no little oratorical ability, he took high rank among preachers of the scholarly type.
"Tall, erect, broad-shouldered, with an intellectual cast of countenance made venerable by the hoary locks which even in the prime of manhood were prematurely gray, " he was a man whose "words gained weight from his physical stature and his dignified demeanor" (Memorial Address, post, p. 5). He had an unconquerable dislike for pastoral duties, however, and felt that teaching was his proper vocation. This feeling was justified by his success at Rochester.
Fearlessly devoted to the truth, scornful of superficiality and sham, relentlessly logical, intensely virile, he captivated the students and inspired them with something of his own spirit.
A little lacking in patience and tact, and brusque in manners, he sometimes made his lot unnecessarily difficult.
A certain sternness and a rigorous attitude in the matter of discipline prevented him from commanding the affection of the students.
During his period of serving a chaplan and lecturer of the University of Virginia Robinson married, 21 February 1844, to Harriet Richards Parker, daughter of Caleb Parker of Roxbury, Massachussets.
