Excerpt from A Brief History of the Christian ChurchAt the wise suggestion of Bishop Littlejohn, of Long Island, and with his kindly co-operation and encouragement, this work was begun because its need was keenly felt in the curriculum of studies at the Cathedral Schools of Garden City. That por tion which covers the first three centuries, was printed in specimen sheets, and used at these schools. This experiment was prudent and success ful, for thus it was possible to ascertain whether the plan and style of the history were acceptable and suitable.There are many valuable manuals of Church His tory, but they seem to be too profound and advanced for boys and girls, and better suited for theological students and clergymen. There are also many Church histories written in narrative style, but they are evidently intended for Sunday-school libraries, and not as text-books. This work, it is hoped, by avoid ing both difficulties, may supply the need, and prove of use in our Church schools, in this very important and interesting department of study.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
