The Early Church (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Early ChurchI. When the word church, or in Greek, ecclesia, first meets us in the New Testament, it is already a Biblical word with an established meaning. Naturally we read into the word all the associations which have gathered round it in the course of the Christian centuries and it is quite legitimate to do so, for the oak is implicit in the acorn. But it is well, before reading into the word what the future elicited from it, to grasp firmly what the past had contributed to it.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
