1 A Pilgrim People The Story of Our Church Presented by:
2 Early Church Growth & Threats ( AD) Patristic Period & Great Councils Rise of Christendom High Medieval Church Renaissance to Reformation Worldwide Growth Revolution to Renewal ( AD) ( AD) ( AD) ( AD) (< AD) ( AD)
3 Presentation Outline Early Church Growth and Community Life External Threats (Paganism & Persecution) Internal Threats (Heresy) Church s Threefold Response
4 Why Study Church History? Church history has lessons for us Learn why things are the way they are today Learn how we can apply the lessons of history in our lives and culture today Church history encourages and strengthens us Realizing the triumphs and tragedies of those Christians who have gone before us and upon whose shoulders our faith stands Why are you interested in Church history?
5 Acts of the Apostles Why is Pentecost called the birthday of the Church? Our focus will be story of our faith after events told in Acts of the Apostles Except: Since Jesus and all his disciples were Jews, why aren t his followers today still Jews? Major decision prompted by St. Paul s missionary journeys around Mediterranean converting Gentiles (non-jews)
6 St. Paul s Journeys Video: Split with Judaism
7
8 Council of Jerusalem Peter and the Apostles decided that Gentile converts did not first have to become Jews no male circumcision, dietary laws Christianity s link with Judaism began to be broken To encompass all of humanity Allowed Christianity s growth
9 Roman Empire Rapid Spread of Gospel Mediterranean world at peace Emperor Octavian Augustus Stable form of government Favorable material conditions Good system of roads, ships Missionaries traveled with relative ease One government over very large area (not before or since)
10 Roman Empire Video: Reasons for Growth
11
12 Community Life Community Gatherings First and Second Centuries People knew each other Sharing of possessions Sunday observance Home Churches Agape Meal (Eucharist) Reading Scripture and Apostles
13 Community Life Baptism Entrance to New Life First and Second Centuries Major celebration and turning point in life (adults) Measure of readiness to join community was lived charity Baptism initially full bath to demonstrate cleansing a person of sin
14 Community Life Eucharist initially a full meal First and Second Centuries Including remembrance of Christ s Passion Eucharist: Body of Christ Real presence of Christ No fixed number of sacraments Leadership arose from the community (servant)
15 External Threats First thru Fourth Centuries Despite Christianity s rapid growth, or even because of it, early Church faced severe external and internal threats to its existence Christians had a visible and different identity in the Roman world
16 External Threats First thru Fourth Centuries Christian refusal to worship gods of the Roman pantheon seen as threat to society Made pagan gods angry Christians often despised for being different, including living by high moral practices Made others feel sinful Leads to a backlash Video: Roman Persecutions
17
18 Martyrdom First thru Fourth Centuries Perpetua Well-educated, noblewoman, 22 years old, mother of an infant Kept diary of her imprisonment And 4 Other Catechumens Felicity & Revocatus (slaves) Secundulus & Saturninus (free) Refused to renounce their Christian faith & offer a sacrifice Video: Martyrdom in 203 A.D.
19
20 Martyrdom First thru Fourth Centuries In the Blood of the martyrs lie the seeds of the Church Tertullian What does this quote mean? Early church faced not only external threats, but internal threats as well Heresies
21 Internal Threats Second and Third Centuries Early Christian communities interpreted stories of Jesus and the Apostles for themselves, leading to disagreements Different communities in different cities had their own views and beliefs about key theological issues
22 Internal Threats Second and Third Centuries Gnosticism early major heresy: Salvation for those acquiring secret knowledge ( gnosis ) All material things evil Including human body Jesus humanity an illusion Divine in human costume Appeared to die at crucifixion Denied incarnation and redemption Gnostic Gospels (Nag Hammadi) Video: Internal Threats
23
24 Threefold Response Second and Third Centuries (1) Further Development of Visible Structures of Authority Bishop (Overseer) Presbyter (Priest, Elder) Deacon (Servant) Bishops are the Legitimate Successors to Apostles Guarantors of Tradition To bring order to chaos Video: Church Authority
25
26 Authority
27 Church Authority Second and Third Centuries Unity of organization Local unity Within a single parish Unity of many churches Within a diocese Episcopal unity Collegiality Unity of Word and Sacrament In the Liturgy
28 Major Bishoprics
29 Threefold Response (2) Agreed on Canon of Scripture First thru Fourth Centuries Old and New Testaments NT Canon based on: Eyewitness account from someone who knew Jesus Accurate reflection of Jesus teachings Widely used in liturgy General consensus regarding its sacredness
30 Canon of Scripture Video: How Got Canon of Scripture
31
32 Canon of Scripture Having God as their author No error in faith or morals can be found in sacred books The sole criterion of canonicity is Apostolic tradition List of canonical Scriptures is furnished to us by early Church
33 Canon of Scripture In addition to sacred Scripture, Catholics believe God s Divine Revelation is also found in Sacred Tradition Scripture needs authentic interpretation Tradition is the teachings of Church s Magisterium
34 Canon of Scripture What is Tradition and how is it transmitted? Writings of Church Fathers Solemn pronouncements of the Church s Magisterium Common belief of the faithful Creeds
35 Threefold Response Third and Fourth Centuries (3) Developed Rule of Faith Statement of beliefs Apostles Creed Nicene Creed More in our next sessions All done to stay in touch with apostolic origins and preserve unity in face of heresy and persecution
36 Status End Third Century Church dealing with external and internal threats But still growing rapidly Great Persecution Lasted from A.D. Emperor Diocletian Video: Great Persecution
37
38 Explosive Growth At dawn of 4th century, Christianity was a persecuted religion of a small minority Less than 10% Christian However, at end of 4th century Christianity was the only official religion and was embraced by vast majority of people in the Roman Empire Next time: How did this happen?
