Excerpt from The Apostolical Fathers: A Critical Account of Their, Genuine Writings and of Their Doctrines
These advantages flow in an especial manner from the unprejudiced study of early Christian literature. The point from which we start is the most momentous in the world's history. The fact which we have to con sider is the greatest. Even to the most callous mind Christianity must appear a movement of gigantic im portance. The student of early Christian literature traces this great moral movement in the words of those who were influenced by it. He as it were speaks with those who felt the first waves of Christ's influence; and he examines their modes of thought that he may see how Christ's Gospel changed their whole being, and how in consequence they worked in and on the world. At the same time he has to rid himself of most of his modern associations. He has to transport himself into a time when the very modes of conception and expres sion were widely different from those of this, age, and he has to realize a thousand influences which acted most powerfully on them, but which have now vanished for ever. If he really feels that he is of one spirit with those old workers for Christ, if he is ready to stretch forth the right hand of fellowship to them, his sym pathics will flow largely with most divisions of the present Christian Church, however diverse on some points their beliefs.
