THE INFLUENCE OF GREEK IDEAS AND USAGES UPON THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH: THE HIBBERT LECTURES, 1888 Paperback – December 2, 2023
by Dr. Edwin Hatch (Author)
Have you ever contrasted the Sermon on the Mount with the Nicean Creed? Why are they such different documents? What happened in 400 years. The first deals with behavior and the heart. The second never mentions behavior. Personally I agree with the concepts expressed in the Creed, but I have serious issues with the reasons it was written. If you are interested in those 400 years and what they did to the church – this is the book for you.
