Excerpt from Heresy and Christian Doctrine This Volume - "Heresy and Christian Doctrine," now introduced for the first time to the English public, is the third in a consecutive series, intended to present a complete picture, from the Author's point of view, of the spiritual life and history of the Church during the first three centuries of the Christian era. The two previous volumes - "Early Years of Christianity" and "Martyrs and Apologists" - delineated chiefly the extensive growth of the Church and its conflicts with enemies without. The present volume treats rather of its intensive development and the history of its doctrines. The concluding volume of the series will appear simultaneously in English and in French. The recent pressure of political, in addition to pastoral duties, has prevented Dr. Pressense, as yet, from arranging his accumulated materials for this work. He has, however, engaged to prepare it for publication with the least possible delay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
