Christian Church, Its Rise and Progress

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In presenting this work to the reading public, I think it proper to state that in its preparation I have not gleaned extensively from the archives of history, but have treated the subject more from a Scriptural than from a historical stand point. There are other works that treat the subject historically, some presenting a narra tive of the church, others a mere compilation of historical facts and evidences.
