About the Book:From the outset of his career, Dr. Hugh Nibley has been centrally concerned with primitive Christianity, especially the shadowy era between the New Testament proper and the emergence and the triumph of the Catholic Church and Holy Roman Empire. That is the era treated in the nine essays collected in this volume. The essays cover such subjects as early accounts of Jesus' childhood, the Savior's forty-day ministry after his resurrection, baptism for the dead in ancient times, the passing of the primitive church, and the early Christian prayer circle. Each essay examines the close connection between the practices and the doctrines of the early Church and the Church of the latter days. Each essay has been reedited, and all the original sources have been rechecked. Many of the conclusions and arguments in these articles will stand in future scholarship; others will be discarded. But Hugh Nibley's work has laid the foundation for all further discussion. Erneilson rated it - it was amazing!My second time through this volume - Nibley presents a pretty clear and straightforward argument for the loss of the original doctrines of early Christianity and the need for a full restoration. Lisa rated it - it was amazing!Hugh Nibley has done more than any other scholar to demonstrate how The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is a restoration of the church and gospel as established and taught by Jesus Christ. This book explores that topic brilliantly. The first four essays are especially intriguing: "Early Accounts of Jesus' Childhood"; "Evangelium Quadraginta Dierum: The Forty-day Mission of Christ--The Forgotten Heritage"; "The Early Christian Prayer Circle"; and especially interesting to me, "Baptism for the Dead in Ancient Times." I only wish that all the Latin and German in the text and footnotes had been translated for the reader who studied other languages. Extremely worth reading. Joe Atwood rated it - it was amazing!It is a lecture series in print, so it is more accessible and conversational than his other books, which most people love, and because much of the information is covered in other volumes, doesn't detract for those who love to read Nibley. It has some of the most potent and up front examples of apostolic succession issues for modern scholars that must be dealt with in any review of Catholic history or LDS ideas of apostasy. Jason rated it - it was amazing!I know it is fashionable in some circles to object to Hugh Nibley's intellectual approach and style, but I always have enjoyed his books. His work sours me to further study and curiosity about my own faith as well as various ancient and modern cultures. Michelle rated it - it was amazing!A very comprehensive look at the differences between Mormonism and Early Christianity. The beliefs of the early Christian Fathers (like Origen) were very similar to mormonism. He takes you through the dark ages and Christianity today. A must read! Aaron rated it - it was amazing!Great book on early temple rituals and doctrines that pertain to the LDS church Copyright © 2018-2024 TDM Inc. The photos and text in this listing are copyrighted.
