Bücher von Henry Chadwick

Rare scholarly insight into the early church -- still relevant for the church today This anthology offers a choice selection of writings by one of the twentieth century's premier church historians, Sir Henry Chadwick. Many of Chadwick's considerable contributions to a fuller understanding of the early church were unpublished or not circulated widely during his lifetime, but here they are compiled in a convenient, accessible form. Reflecting Chadwick's wide-ranging expertise, this volume contains his essays on a variety of themes pertaining to the early church, including the emerging faith's relationship to classical culture; the interaction between piety, politics, and theology; councils in the early church; the power of music in the church; and more. As relevant for the study of early Christianity today as when they were first written, Chadwick's essays remain a valuable resource for better understanding the church both past and present, shedding light on ecumenical problems that still keep Christians visibly divided.

Chadwick's American Cricket Manual is a comprehensive guide to the game of cricket, written by Henry Chadwick and first published in 1873.

The manual is aimed at both novice and experienced players, and is intended to be a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning or improving their skills in the game of cricket. Chadwick was a prominent figure in the development of cricket in the United States, and his manual is a testament to his passion for the sport and his commitment to promoting it in America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

The greatest Christian split of all has been that between east and west, between Roman Catholic and eastern Orthodox. This title provides an account of the emergence of divisions between Rome and Constantinople.
