Excerpt from Acts of the Apostles, or the History of the Church in the Apostolic Age, Vol. 1The needs of the Church, therefore, no less than the canonical character of the Acts of the Apostles, demand that this book of sacred history should be rescued from the fragmentary handling which it has hitherto been exposed'to. To prepare the way for the accomplishment of this task, which has been laid upon theo logy, and which it cannot decline, will be the attempt of the present work. It will keep in view the chief points of this problem for, assuming the strict historical character of the narratives from the beginning to the end of the Acts of the Apostles, it undertakes to point out a unity of connexion between all its parts. And these are the results of our labours. The Acts of the Apostles embrace that portion of the history of the Church, which contains the canonical beginnings, whose ecclesiastical continuations and developments are proceeding even in our own days. And the history brings these canonical principles in so authentic a manner before us, that not only may their inward course be distinctly traced, but also their normal value for all relations and conditions of the Church, which are comprised within that period, may with certainty be inferred.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
