The Founding Of The Church Universal A History Of The Early Church Vol II
Author: Hans Lietzmann

THE FOUNDING OF THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL- A HISTORY OF THE EARLY CHURCH. VOLUME II by HANS LIETZMANN. TRANSLATORS NOTE TO THE FIRST EDITION: PRESENT VOLUME CONTINUES THE HISTORY WHICH WAS begun in the volume entitled The Beginnings of the Christian Church and carries the story to the death of Origen. It is indeed the second volume of a work whic... more »h is projected in five volumes covering the entire history of the early Christian period. I again have to thank Professor Lietzmann for the material he has willingly placed at my disposal in preparing this volume for the English-reading public. He has been kind enough to revise the whole of the typescript, which, it is now hoped, gives a reliable interpretation of what he wished to write. At the same time he supplied a chronological table for the present edition, and I am indebted to Professor A. J. D. Farrer and Dr. J. L. Matthews for help in drawing up a short additional biblio graphy for the use of English-speaking students. The Rev. Sidney Myers, B. A., of Bath, and my wife have again kindly given their help in reading the proofs and preparing the Index. B. L. W. TRANSLATORS NOTE TO THE SECOND EDITION: THE PRINTING OF A SECOND EDITION AFFORDS A WELCOME opportunity to revise the translation thoroughly, and to correct errata. I have received invaluable help from Mr. Harry Cowlishaw, of Beaconsfield, in seeking a flexible and idiomatic English style, and I wish to record my gratitude to him for his great contribution to the present revision. The Rev. H. Chadwick, M. A., Fellow of Queens College, Cambridge, has kindly sent me numberless corrections, especially of the footnotes innumerable suggestions for making these notes more valuable to readers having access to English writers, and to their editions of authorities and he has revised the Select Book List. All this has placed me, and the publishers, under a singular debt of gratitude this note is the barest acknowledge ment of what is due to him. My wife has read the proofs, and offered many suggestions without her help I could not have done the work involved, and I cannot say how much this Second Edition owes to her skilful assistance and never failing patience. I also wish to record my high appreciation of the ready help and the expert advice given by the Rev. G. H. Gordon Hewitt, M. A., editor of the Lutterworth Press, and his assistants, throughout the period when this edition was passing through the press. B. L. W. BEACONSFDELD.
