Book Description

Excerpt from Methodism in the Light of the Early Church: Being the Fifteenth Fernley Lecture, Delivered at Newcastle-on-Tyne, August 3, 1885 Tiie following lecture, in its printed form, has attained dimensions somewhat out of proportion with its character as a single address. The nature of the subject and of the questions arising out of it has seemed to make it desirable that not only the results of the inquiry should be furnished to the readers, but also a fair view of the process by which these results have been obtained. For convenience of arrangement and reference the lecture is divided into chapters. Extracts from works in other languages which appear in the text are generally given in English, and this rule has been largely followed in the notes. In the case of the 'fathers, ' free use has been made, for this purpose, of the translations of the ante-nicene Christian Library, published by Messrs. Clark, Edinburgh.
