Excerpt from Historic Landmarks in the Christian Centuries A legend of the Middle Ages, supposed to date from the fourth century, relates how, on the way to Calvary, Christ wished to rest His cross against the wall of a certain house, but was repelled by the owner, who, reviling Him, told Him to pass on. "I go, as it is written," was the reply, "and shall quickly find My rest; but thou shalt never find it until I come again." This legend, profoundly significant, if for the Jew we read humanity, was regarded as literal fact not only by mediaeval Catholics, but even by Protestants as late as the seventeenth century. The chronicler, Matthew of Paris, relates, in his Major Historia, how a certain Armenian archbishop, in the year 1229, visited the monastery of St. Albans, and assured his hosts that he had not only seen the Wandering Jew, but had actually entertained him at his own table, adding that he was a pious man, and of edifying conversation. Nearly four hundred years later we find the same story among German Protestants. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Early Church in the Light of the Monuments: A Study in Christian Archology This series of Handbooks is designed to meet a need, which, the Editors believe, has been widely felt, and which results in great measure from the predominant importance attached to Dogmatic and Moral Theology in the studies preliminary to the Priesthood. That the first place must of necessity be given to these subjects will not be disputed. But there remains a large outlying field of professional knowledge which is always in danger of being crowded out in the years before ordination, and the practical utility of which may not be fully realised until some experience of the ministry has been gained. It will be the aim of the present series to offer the sort of help which is dictated by such experience, and its developments will be largely guided by the suggestions, past and future, of the Clergy themselves. To provide Textbooks for Dogmatic Treatises is not contemplated - at any rate not at the outset. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from On the History of the Christian Altar To enter on the discussion of an archaeological question equipped only with a measure of mere book knowledge, and without practical acquaintance with monuments is venturesome. The case is mine at present. The attempt requires an apology. I make it at once; and so without more ado press forward to give a short account of the historical development of the Christian Altar.

Excerpt from The Testimony of the Catacombs and of Other Monuments of Christian Art: From the Second to the Eighteenth Century, Concerning Questions of Doctrine Now Disputed in the ChurchLaying before the English public a summary of the results of De Rossi's investigations. Their book would have been more valuable if they had adhered more religiously than they have done to his guidance. For in spite of the deep importance to doctrinal questions, now controverted, of the monuments with which De Rossi has to deal, yet has he, as far as we have observed, the rare merit of stating his facts exactly and impartially, precisely as he finds them, and drawing theological conclusions (when he does so at all, which is not often) upon a statement of all the facts, not of a few such out of many, and these selected and arranged, so as to suit a predetermined conclusion.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Cross of Christ: Studies in the History of Religion and the Inner Life of the Church The cross as "the emblem of Christianity universally," as the symbolic "representation of the one great truth, out of which a multitude of truths may be developed," is only apparently on a level with a number of other religious emblems, the study of which can call forth no interest beyond that of an art-historical or liturgical examination. It may be that a false externalising, specially in the Church of the Middle Ages, has attached itself to the reverence manifested towards the cross. An exact and critical detailing of these superstitious extravagances and mystical playings of the imagination may more than once run the risk of producing a wearying or even repelling effect. Nevertheless there is inherent in this particular sign a stronger power of attraction than in any of the other symbols of Christianity. The externalising and corrupting influence upon the essence and life of our religion proceeding from it, from the time of Constantine and Helena, was followed in the period of the Reformation by a purifying and spiritualising process, which, equally with that process of degeneration, took its point of departure in the original expression of believing and enthusiastic attachment to the symbol of redemption. The Catholic devotion to the Cross, and the Evangelical preaching of the Cross, have their roots in the same soil.
