Excerpt from Four Years Experience of the Catholic Religion Mr. Capes, the author of the following pages, was formerly a distinguished member of the Oxford University, and a divine of the Protestant Episcopal Church. In 1815, he was received into the Catholic Church, and, since that time, he has had ample opportunity to view her in all her phases, and the little work before us shows, that he has turned this opportunity to good account. He has...

Excerpt from Livy Its patriotic feeling - Livy writes however as a patriot, not with dispassionate interest in human nature, for he was a Roman citizen in early years, when his birthplace was included in the civic tribes. It was no quiet country town, like Plutarch's Chaeroneia, remote from the stir Of busy life, where the student must learn chie¿y from his books. Patavium was a great commercial centre, and ranked among the first cities Of th...

Excerpt from The Skeleton Key To introduce the last book by the late Bernard Capes is a sad sort of honour in more ways than one, for not only was his death untimely and unexpected, but he had a mind of that fertile type which must always leave behind it, with the finished life, a sense of unfinished labour. From the first his prose had a strong element of poetry, which an appreciative reader could feel even more, perhaps, when it refined a f...

Excerpt from The Theatre, Vol. 19: A Monthly Review of the Drama, Music, and the Fine Arts, January to June, 1892 The fact that it was not printed until 1638 may be ascribed to the interruptions the theatres suffered from at that period.

"At the increase of the plague to four within the city, and fifty-four in all, this day, the 12th May, ...

"But as to these Roman balls themselves, " asked Margaret, "I cannot understand what sort of affairs they can possibly be." "Why so?" asked her cousin. About the...

Description: This delightfully multifaceted volume, comprised of thoughtful essays by an esteemed array of cultural critics, probes the intersection of Christian faith and culture to honor the memory of A. J. "Chip" Conyers, a remarkably ecumenical Christian scholar and cultural "warrior" whose premature death in 2004 cut short a remarkable career in teaching and writing. As those who knew him can attest, Conyers lived his life at the interse...

At least two major Christologies have been found in Phil 2:6-11, which is otherwise known as the Philippians hymn. One group of biblical scholars argues for a Christology of a pre-existent, divine being who had full equality with God from eternity. This is often referred to as "pre-existence" Christology. A second group of biblical scholars argues that in Phil 2:6-11 Paul was not describing a pre-existent, divine being but rather the earthly J...

Excerpt from The Old and New Churches of London: Being a Series of Illustrations of the Existing Remains of Church Architecture in London, From the Norman Period to That of the Great Fire Give it what beauty we may with pediments, lateral columns, and mouldings, in itself it is a large opening and nothing more, like the dull fishy eyes of a man or woman who can neither think nor feel.
