The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire (Classic Reprint) by T. R. Glover Pdf

Excerpt from The Conflict of Religions in the Early Roman Empire TO see the Founder Of the Christian movement and some of his followers as they appeared among their contemporaries; to represent Christian and pagan with equal goodwill and equal honesty, and in one perspective; to recapture some thing Of the colour and movement Of life, using imagination to interpret the data, and controlling it by them; to follow the conflict of ideals, not in the abstract, but as they show themselves in character and personality; and in this way to discover where lay the living force that changed the thoughts and lives Of men, and what it was; these have been the aims Of the writer, - impossible, but worth attempting. So far as they have been achieved, the book is relevant to the reader. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Christianity and the Roman Empire (Classic Reprint) by William E. Addis Pdf

Excerpt from Christianity and the Roman Empire The early history of Christianity cannot be uninteresting to those who wish to be counted among the disciples of Jesus. During the first three hundred years of its existence, the tendencies which afterwards marked the great Churches of Christendom, began clearly to display themselves. And even within this short period the complex movement to which we give the name of Christianity, may be treated from several different points of view. It may be regarded as the manifestation of a great moral and religious impulse, and the stress will then fall on its power of quickening the inner forces of character, and transforming the whole standard of feeling and action.

The Early Christians in Rome (Classic Reprint) by H. D. M. Spence-Jones Pdf

Excerpt from The Early Christians in Rome F the five Books which make up this work, the First Book relates generally the history of the fortunes of the Church in Rome in the first days. The foundation stories of the Roman congregations were laid largely by the Apostles Peter and Paul - Peter, so with one accord say the earliest contemporary writers,1 being the first apostle who preached in Rome. Paul, who taught many years later in the Capital, was also reckoned as a founder of the Roman Church for his teaching, especially his Christ ology, supplemented and explained in detail the teaching of S. Peter and the early founders. The First Book relates how, after the great fire of Rome in the days of Nero, the Christians came into prominence, but apparently were looked on for a considerable period as a sect of dissenting Jews.

Excerpt from Some Greek and Roman Ideas of a Future Life In Greece then as applied to ordinary mortals the chthonic conception of survival seems to be singularly barren, and though in Rome it leads in religious practice to a very beautiful symbolism, we Shall find cause, when we come to examine the epitaphs, to doubt whether it had much real hold or Significance.

The Religion of Numa by Jesse Benedict Carter Pdf

Excerpt from The Religion of Numa: And Other Essays on the Religion of Ancient Rome The careful student of the history of the Romans cannot doubt the psychological reality of their religion, no matter what his personal metaphysics may be. It is the author's hope that these essays may have a human interest because he has tried to emphasise this reality and to present the Romans as men of like passions to ourselves, in spite of all differences of time and race.

The Religious Life of Ancient Rome by Jesse Benedict Carter Pdf

Excerpt from The Religious Life of Ancient Rome: A Study in the Development of Religious Consciousness From the Foundation of the City, Until the Death of Gregory the Great The eight chapters of this book were originally eight lectures delivered before the Lowell Institute in Boston during January, 1911. Though they have been slightly recast, their character as lectures has been preserved, even at the risk of retaining statements which are more dogmatic than one would make in a book of essays writ ten to be read. But the theory of religious evolution here developed is put forth in the hope that it may arouse thought and discussion; and to this end a positive state ment seems desirable.

Roman Ideas of Deity in the Last Century Before the Christian Era by W. Warde Fowler Pdf

Excerpt from Roman Ideas of Deity in the Last Century Before the Christian Era: Lectures Delivered in Oxford for the Common University Fund My original plan, it is true, was to use these three books of Cicero as the basis of my lectures. I read them again, as I had often read them before, looking for something to my purpose without finding much. I am well aware of their great value in certain ways, and especially in the presentation, in the second book, of Stoic ideas of religion as held by the Syrian Posi donius, a man who seems during [the last few years to have reappeared in the world, and to be made responsible not only for the Stoicism of the next age, but for astrology by M. Cumont, for the Sixth Aeneid by Norden, for mysticism by Wendland, as well as for the history and geography of the age, through Diodorus and Strabo.1 In estimating the mental treasures of this extraordinary man, Cicero is in this work and others of the same time undoubtedly of great value. But this was not what I proposed to myself. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Religion of Numa by Jesse Benedict Carter Pdf

Excerpt from The Religion of Numa: And Other Essays on the Religion of Ancient Rome This little book tries to tell the story of the religious life of the Romans from the time when their history begins for us until the close of the reign of Augustus. Each of its five essays deals with a distinct period and is in a sense complete in itself; but the dramatic development inherent in the whole forbids their separation save as acts or chapters. In spite of modern interest in the study of religion, Roman religion has been in general relegated to specialists in ancient history and classics. This is not surprising for Roman religion is not prepossessing in appearance, but though it is at first sight incomparably less attractive than Greek religion, it is, if properly understood, fully as interesting, nay, even more so.

Religions of Rome: Volume 1, A History by Mary Beard,John North,Simon Price Pdf

This book offers a radical new survey of more than a thousand years of religious life at Rome. It sets religion in its full cultural context, between the primitive hamlet of the eighth century BC and the cosmopolitan, multicultural society of the first centuries of the Christian era. The narrative account is structured around a series of broad themes: how to interpret the Romans' own theories of their religious system and its origins; the relationship of religion and the changing politics of Rome; the religious importance of the layout and monuments of the city itself; changing ideas of religious identity and community; religious innovation - and, ultimately, revolution. The companion volume, Religions of Rome: A Sourcebook, sets out a wide range of documents richly illustrating the religious life in the Roman world.
