1 CHURCH HISTORY. WEEK 1. EARLY CHURCH Week 1: Early Church (70 529) Week 3: The Medieval Church ( ) Week 4: The Reformation ( ) Week 5: The Modern Church (1650 Present) MARTYRS If you suffer as a Christian, do not be ashamed, but praise God that you bear that name. (1 Pet. 4:16) 9/15/15 The oftener we are mown down by you, the more in number we grow; the blood of Christians is seed. - Tertullian (Apology, 50)
2 Death of the Apostles 1. James - Killed with a sword. 45 A.D. 2. Peter - Hung on a cross head downward. A.D Andrew - Hung from an olive tree. A.D Thomas - Burned alive. A.D Phillip - Crucified. A.D Matthew - Beheaded. A.D Nathanael - Crucified. A.D James - Thrown from the temple. A.D Simon - Crucified. A.D Judas Thaddeus - Beaten with sticks. A.D Matthias - Stoned on a cross. A.D John - Natural death. A.D Paul - Beheaded. A.D. 69 A vast multitude [of Christians], were convicted, not so much of the crime of arson as of hatred of the human race. And in their deaths they were made the subjects of sport; for they were wrapped in the hides of wild beasts and torn to pieces by dogs, or nailed to crosses, or set on fire, and when day declined, were burned to serve for nocturnal lights. - Tacitus' Annals XV.44
3 Polycarp was brought before the proconsul, who begged him to have respect for his great age (he was probably nearly 100), saying, Swear by the genius of Caesar and denounce the atheists. But Polycarp, seeing the lawless heathen in the amphitheater, waved his hands at them, and looked up to heaven with a groan and said, Away with the atheists. The proconsul persisted, Swear, and I will release you. Curse Christ. And Polycarp replied, Eighty- six years have I served him, and he has done me no wrong; how can I blaspheme my King who saved me? He was condemned to death and burned alive. Labellus: A certificate demonstrating that one had made the appropriate sacrifices to the gods of Rome. Sacrificati Libellatici Traditores DONATISM Sinner vs. Saint
4 GNOSTICISM What you heard from me, keep as the pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus. Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you guard it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us. (2 Tim. 1:13-14) The things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable men who will also be qualified to teach others. (2 Tim. 2:2) Nor will any one of the rulers in the Churches, however highly gifted he may be in point of eloquence, teach doctrines different from these (for no one is greater than the Master); nor, on the other hand, will he who is deficient in power of expression inflict injury on the tradition. For the faith being ever one and the same, neither does one who is able at great length to discourse regarding it, make any addition to it, nor does one who can say but little diminish it. - Irenaeus
5 EDICT OF MILAN We... grant to the Christians and others full authority to observe that religion which each preferred. - Constantine and Licinius COUNCIL OF NICEA If the Father begat the son, he that was begotten had a beginning of existence; hence it is clear that there was a time when the son was not. - Arius Does it make one iota of a difference? ι Nicene Creed
6 We believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only- begotten of the Father, that is, from the substance of the Father, God of God, light of light, true God of true God, begotten, not made, of one substance [homoousios] with the Father, through whom all things were made, both in heaven and on earth, who for us humans and for our salvation descended and became incarnate, becoming human, suffered and rose again on the third day, ascended to the heavens, and will come to judge the living and the dead. And in the Holy Spirit. But those who say that there was when He was not, and that before being begotten He was not, or that He came from that which is not, or that the Son of God is of a different substance or essence, or that He is created, or mutable, these the catholic church anathematizes. Fables about Nicea It is illegitimate because it was called by a civil authority. The doctrine of the Trinity was invented then. Constantine forced the bishops to agree. It was a close vote (214-2).
