THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL Volume IV
THE CHURCH AND THE EMPIRE
THE CHURCH UNIVERSAL Brief Histories of Her Continuous Life
A series of eight volumes dealing with the history of the Christian
Church from the beginning of the present day.
Edited by The Rev. W. H. Hutton, B.D. Fellow and Tutor of S. John's
College, Oxford, and Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Rochester
THE CHURCH OF THE APOSTLES. The Rev. Lonsdale Ragg, M.A.,
Vicar of the Tickencote, Rutlandshire, and Prebendary of Lincoln
Cathedral.
"Mr. Ragg has produced something far better than a mere text-book:
the earlier chapters especially are particularly interesting reading. The
whole book is well proportioned and scholarly, and gives the reader the
benefit of wide reading of the latest authorities. The contrasted growth
and fortunes of the Judaic Church of Jerusalem and the Church of the
Gentiles are particularly clearly brought out."--Church Times.
"Written in a clear and interesting style, and summaries the early
records of the growth of the Christian community during the first
century."--_Irish Ecclesiastical Gazette._
"A careful piece of work, which may be read with pleasure and
profit."--Spectator.

THE CHURCH OF THE FATHERS. The Rev. Leighton Pullan, M.A.,
Fellow of St. John's College, and Theological Lecturer of St. John's and
Oriel Colleges, Oxford.
"If we may forecast the merits of the series by Pullan's volume, we are
prepared to give it an unhesitating welcome. We shall be surprised if
this book does not supersede of the less interesting Church histories
which have served as text-books for several generations of theological
students."--Guardian.
"The student of this important period of Church history--the formative
period--has here a clear narrative, packed with information drawn from
authentic sources and elucidated with the most recent results of
investigation. We do not know of any other work on Church history in
which so much learned and accurate instruction is condensed into a
comparative small space, but at the same time presented in the form of
an interesting narrative. Alike the beginner and the advanced student
will find Mr. Pullan a useful guide and companion."--Church Times.
THE CHURCH AND THE BARBARIANS. The Editor. _3s. 6d. net._
"In so accomplished hands as Mr. Hutton's the result is an instructive
and suggestive survey of the course of the Church's development
throughout five hundred years, and almost as many countries and
peoples, in Constantinople as well as among the Wends and Prussians,
in Central Asia as well as in the Western Isles." _Review of Theology
and Philosophy._
"The volume will be of great value as giving a bird's-eye view of the
fascinating struggle of the Church with heathenism during those
spacious centuries."--_Church Times._
THE CHURCH AND THE EMPIRE. 1003-1304. By D. J. Medley,
M.A., Professor of History in the University of Glasgow. _4s. 6d. net._
THE AGE OF SCHISM. 1304-1503. By Herbert Bruce, M.A.,
Professor of History in the University College, Cardiff.

"We commend the book as being fair in its judicial criticism, a great
point where so thorny a subject as the Great Schism and its issues are
discussed. The art of reading the times, whether ancient or modern, has
descended from Mr. W. H. Hutton to his pupil." _Pall Mall Gazette._
"It is a great period for so small a book, but a master of his subject
knows always what to leave out, and this volume
