The Christian Ecclesia: a Course of Lectures on the Early History and Early Conceptions of the Ecclesia and Four Sermons Fenton John Anthony Hort

Dr Hort as Lady Margaret Professor in the Michaelmas Terms of 1888 and 1889 on The Early History and the Early Conceptions of the Christian Ecclesia . T he plan of the lectures is the same as that of the Lectures on Judaistic Christianity. They contain a careful survey of the evidence to be derived from the literature of the Apostolic age for the solution of a fundamental problem. The title Ecclesia was chosen, as the opening lecture explains, expressly for its freedom from the distracting associations which have gathered round its more familiar synonyms. It is in itself a sufficient indication of the spirit of genuine historical enquiry in which the study was undertaken. The original scheme included an investigation into the evidence of the early Christian centuries, and the book is therefore in one sense no doubt incomplete.
