Project Gutenberg 2015-09-24 Public domain in the USA. 127 Rosendal, Mauno 1848 1917 Rosendal, Magnus Kertomuksia kirkkohistorian alalta 1: Vanha aika Produced by Juhani Kärkkäinen and Tapio Riikonen "Kertomuksia kirkkohistorian alalta 1: Vanha aika" by Mauno Rosendal is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the early history of Christianity, specifically focusing on the formation and development of the church from its inception up to the year 600. It likely covers significant figures and events, such as Jesus Christ, his disciples, and the early martyrs, depicting the challenges faced by the Christian community amidst a largely pagan world. At the start of the text, Rosendal sets the stage for an exploration of early Christian history, expressing concern about the growing secularism of his own time and the importance of understanding the past. He introduces the structure of the book, outlining topics including the period of the apostles, the martyr church, and the age of doctrinal disputes. The opening chapters depict the fervor and struggles of the early church, especially through the character of Stephen, whose martyrdom illustrates the tension between the nascent Christian faith and the prevailing Jewish and pagan societies. Rosendal’s narrative aims to rekindle interest in the foundational events that shaped Christian identity and belief, providing a guide for readers seeking to connect with their faith's historical roots.
