Ante-Nicene Christianity: History Of The Christian Church V2 is a comprehensive book written by Philip Schaff that delves into the history of Christianity before the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. The book is the second volume in a series that explores the origins, development, and spread of Christianity throughout the world.In this volume, Schaff focuses on the early Christian Church and its growth during the first three centuries after the death of Jesus Christ. He examines the various sects and movements that emerged during this time, including Gnosticism, Marcionism, and Montanism, and discusses their impact on the development of Christian theology.The book also explores the lives and teachings of some of the most influential early Christian leaders, such as Clement of Alexandria, Tertullian, and Origen. Schaff provides detailed accounts of their contributions to the Church and their impact on Christian doctrine.Ante-Nicene Christianity: History Of The Christian Church V2 is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of Christianity and its early development. It provides a comprehensive overview of the major events, movements, and figures that shaped the Church during its formative years.Eight volume series. Thus Tertullian tells of a company of Christians in Ephesus, who begged martyrdom from the heathen governor, but after a few had been executed, the rest were sent away by him with the words: Miserable creatures, if you really wish to die, you have precipices and halters enough. Though this error was far less discreditable than the opposite extreme of the cowardly fear of man, yet it was contrary to the instruction and the example of Christ and the apostles,6 3 and to the spirit of true martyrdom, which consists in the union of sincere humility and power, and possesses divine strength in the very consciousness of human weakness.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
