ANF01. The Apostolic Fathers with Justin Martyr and Irenaeus (Editor) -- from Logos Research Systems, Inc.
Description: Originally printed in 1885, the ten-volume set,
Ante-Nicene Fathers, brings together the work of early Christian
thinkers. In particular, it brings together the writings of the early
Church fathers prior to the fourth century Nicene Creed. These volumes
are noteworthy for their inclusion of entire texts, and not simply
fragments or excerpts from these great writings. The translations are
fairly literal, providing both readers and scholars with a good
approximation of the originals. This particular volume contains works by
St. Clement, Mathetes, St. Polycarp, St. Ignatius, Barnabas, St. Papias,
St. Justin Martyr, and St. Irenaeus. These writings were heavily
influential on the early Church, and for good reason, as they are

notes, providing the reader with new levels of understanding. Overall,
Ante-Nicene Fathers, or any part of it, is a welcome addition to
one's

Creeds of Christendom, Volume III. The Creeds of the Evangelical Protestant Churches.
Description: In 1876, this three volume collection of
cross-denominational creeds and confessions was deemed by
its publisher a "symbolical library" well worth visiting.
Volume III is dedicated to the Lutheran, Anglican,
Calvinistic, and later Protestant Confessions of Faith.
Schaff's third volume is the first publication to compile
the Modern Protestant Creeds, a rare group of documents
containing the Congregational, Baptist, and Presbyterian
Confessions. It also includes the Quaker Confession, the
Easter Litany of the Moravians, and the Methodist Articles of Religion.
This book is an excellent resource for comparative analysis, as Schaff
provides the documents in their original languages alongside their
English translations. Through Creeds of Christendom, Schaff aims
to
bring understanding to those who adhere to different creeds. He wisely
reminds us that despite varying Christian denominations, Christ always
remains at the center of the creeds.

Creeds of Christendom, with a History and Critical notes. Volume I. The History of Creeds. (Editor)
Description: In 1876, this three volume collection of
cross-denominational creeds was deemed by its publisher a "symbolical
library" well worth visiting. In Volume I, Schaff introduces the creeds
by providing general information regarding their origin, value,
authority, and classification. First, Schaff presents the Ecumenical
Creeds, which contain the most basic doctrines of the Trinity and the
Incarnation. These fundamental creeds are the Apostle's Creed, the
Nicene Creed, the Creed of Chalcedon, and the Athanasian Creed. Next,
Schaff considers the Greek and Roman Creeds, which differ significantly
from Protestantism and from each other. Schaff then explores the
Evangelical Protestant Creeds, which emerged around the time of the
Reformation and are divided into two camps, Reformed and Lutheran.
Schaff concludes by giving some attention to the Creeds of Modern
Evangelical Denominations. Through Creeds of Christendom, Schaff
aims
to
bring understanding to those who adhere to different creeds. Schaff
wisely reminds us that despite varying Christian denominations, Christ
always remains at the center of the creeds.

Description: In 1876, this three volume collection of
cross-denominational creeds and confessions was deemed by
its publisher a "symbolical library" well worth visiting.
In Volume II of Creeds of Christendom, Schaff reproduces
the Scripture Confessions as well as the Ante-Nicene and
Nicene Rules of Faith and Baptismal Creeds. He also
presents the Orthodox Confession of the Eastern Church
alongside the longer catechism of the Orthodox Eastern
Church. Finally, Schaff concludes with the Old Catholic
Union Creeds, which include several encyclical letters
from the 19th and 20th century papacies. Schaff spends
several sections comparing different forms of the
Apostle's Creed, which range from the Old Roman African
form to the Old Italian form. Schaff even provides an
extensive table displaying the gradual formation of the
Creed from 200AD to 750AD. This book is an excellent
resource for comparative analysis, as Schaff provides the
documents in their original languages alongside their
English translations. Through Creeds of Christendom,
Schaff aims to bring understanding to those who adhere to

Early Church Fathers (version 2) -- from Logos Research Systems, Inc.
History of the Christian Church, Volume I: Apostolic Christianity. A.D. 1-100 (Author)
Description: Philip Schaff's History of the Christian
Church excels at providing an impressive and instructive
historical treatment of the Christian church. This eight
volume work begins with the early Church and ends at 1605
with the Swiss Reformation. Schaff's treatment is
comprehensive and in depth, discussing all the major (and
minor!) figures, time periods, and movements of the
Church. He includes many footnotes, maps, and charts; he
even provides copies of original texts in his treatment.
One feature of the History of the Christian Church that
readers immediately notice is just how beautifully written it
is--especially in comparison to other texts of a similar nature. Simply
put, Schaff's prose is lively and engaging. As one reader puts it, these
volumes are "history written with heart and soul." Although at points
the scholarship is slightly outdated, overall History of the
Christian
Church is great for historical referencing. Countless people have
found
History of the Christian Church useful. Whether for serious

Description: �The object of this book is simply to show, in a popular style, that the Person of Christ
is the great central miracle of history, and the strongest evidence of Christianity,� Schaff
writes in the preface to The Person of Christ. During the 19th century, however,
it had become fashionable in Western universities and seminaries to demythologize
not only the supernatural accounts in the Bible, but the very divinity of Christ as well.
Arguing against the positions of such liberal theologians as Ernest Renan, Schaff explains
how Christ would, as miraculous and supernatural, perform miracles in accordance
with his nature. A desperate willingness to explain away anything that defies modern,
empirical sensibilities, Schaff writes, leads to a skepticism that �legitimately ends at last
in the nihilism of despair.� The issues Schaff addresses remain some of the most hotly
debated issues within contemporary Christianity.

Description: French theologian Ernest Renan examined the life of Christ purely historically, following the trends of 19th century German
higher criticism of the Bible. Renan was wary of accepting the history of any supernatural elements in the New Testament, and his skeptical
reading of the Gospels led him to deny the divinity of Christ. For Philip Schaff, Renan's account of the Gospels was little more than a
skeptic's flight of fancy, a romance constructed to cater to the author's presuppositions. The Romance of M. Renan and the Christ of the
Gospels is Schaff's reply; he explains how Christ, as miraculous and supernatural, would perform miracles in accordance with his nature.
A desperate willingness to explain away anything that defies modern, empirical sensibilities leads to nothing but nihilism and despair, Schaff
argues. He hopes that his words reinvigorate thinking Christians, allowing them to have faith again after hearing Renan's assailment against
Christian orthodoxy.
