The New International Dictionary of the Christian Church

James Dixon Douglas

4.9/5 (10314 ratings)

Description:Here, for the first time, is a comprehensive, one-volume reference work which traces the development of the Christian Church from a sound historical and evangelical perspective. More than a million words in 4,800 articles lead us down the byways of 2,000 years of history to marvel at how colorful and exciting and many-faceted is our Christian record, and how musicians and missionaries, seers and soldiers, kings and councils, poets and persecutors, humanists, and heretics have all, for better or worse, made a contribution to the heritage of our faith. This volume sets out to give information not easily available elsewhere in such convenient form, and thus to encourage the reader to appreciate the richness, diversity, and wholeness of the Christian tradition. More than 180 scholars from United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and many other nations have contributed their expertise, incorporating recent archaeological discoveries, conclusions to documentary research, and specialized studies. Useful cross-references and bibliographies of significant works enhance this dictionary as a basic sourcebook and study tool. Because the Christian faith has so profoundly influenced the course of Western civilization, a knowledge of the Church's times and seasons, institutions and aberrations, triumphs and failings is essential to an understanding of contemporary culture and religious life. Here in sound historical and critical perspective are described the "New Catholicism," the higher criticism of the Holy Scriptures, the varying viewpoints of Jesus Christ as God, man, and God-man, the indigenous character of the Church in different countries and continents of the world. This is a volume to give laymen and scholars alike a renewed sense of history; an identification and feeling of fellowship with those who have carried the torch of truth before us; and most of all an appreciation of the priceless heritage which is ours in Christ."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
