Historical Sketches, Vol. 2: The Church of the Fathers, St. Chrysostom, Theodoret, Mission of St. Benedict, Benedictine Schools (Classic Reprint)
Historical Sketches Vol 2 The Church of the Fathers St Chrysostom Theodoret Mission of St Benedict Benedictine Schools - Classic Reprint Author:John Henry Newman ADVERTISEMENT. THE following Sketches, which, with two or three exceptions, appeared in the British Magazine, During 1833 and the following years, do not, as the author is very conscious, warrant a title of such high pretension as that which was there prefixed to them and is here preserved. But that title will at least show the object with which... more » they were written, viz. to illustrate, as far as they go, the tone and modes of thought, the habits and manners of the early times of the Church. The author is aware what numerous imperfections are likely to attach to a work which is made up, in so great ^measure as this is, of personal opinions and views, of mute historical details and of translations; nor would expose himself to the criticisms which it inevitably attracts, did he not think that the chance of bringing or recommending one or two of the characteristics of primitive Christianity was worth the risk of mistakes.
