  Theology Today - Vol 23, No. 4 - January 1967 - BOOK REVIEW - The Reformation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
These are the chapters on the conquistadors as agents of the mission drive and the experience of the Eastern Orthodox Church under the Turks as well as its relation to both the Roman Catholic and the evangelical churches.
The decline of ecclesiastical power is measured in terms of excommunication and church discipline, right of sanctuary, benefit of clergy, the clergy as officers of the state, diversion of endowments, and a growth of tolerance under duress.
A basically positive spiritual effect of the Reformation on the church is assessed in terms of the role of the married clergy, the vastly improved education and morals, and the impact of sermons ever so long.

 List of Professorships at the University of Cambridge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During the early history of the University of Cambridge, the title professor simply denoted a doctor who taught in the university, a usage that continues to be found in, for example, US universities.
However, from the 16th century onwards in Cambridge it was used to denote those holding "chairs" that had been founded by the university in a particular subject or endowed by a benefaction.

 Rethinking the Crusades
Each crusader made a vow, signified by the wearing of a cloth cross, and he (or she) was rewarded with the grant of an indulgence and certain temporal privileges.
They wanted to make a conciliatory gesture, on the one hand, and on the other to express contrition for wars they believe should be included in the category of events Pope John Paul II calls departures from the spirit of Christ and his gospel.
Muslims do not seem to have considered until relatively recently that the crusades stood out in this history; by 1500, indeed, they would have been justified in believing that that particular sequence of wars was ending in their favor.

I want to concentrate for a few minutes on two events in the history of this church: on its original foundation, whose date is totally unknown; and on its rebuilding by Hervey de Stanton, which is precisely dated to the mid- and late-1320s.
The second commemorates what is most unusual about the history of this church: that it was rebuilt - not in campaign after campaign over many centuries, but all in one, and by a single benefactor, for a special purpose.
He was a rich man, with access to large resources - he was chancellor of the exchequer, which in those days meant he was at the peak of the civil service, not a minister in the modem sense; and a judge and chief justice.

Its editor is Owen Chadwick, Dixie Professor of Ecclesiastical History in the University of Cambridge and its author is Gerald Cragg, Professor of Historical Theology in the Andover-Newton Theological School.
The "Pelican History of the Christian Church" prompts the reflection that this bird has degenerated as a symbol from its mediaeval apogee (where it stood for the eucharistic Christ) to its present nadir (where it represents unlimited capacity: "it can hold in its beak enough for a week.
It is not a heroic age, as Professor Cragg readily admits, but he has shown that in it the questions which still haunt us were raised and the methods we employ for investigation were initiated.

 Independent Plains Baptist Challenger, May 2000, E. L. Bynum
History is the evidential testimony of those who have kept true New Testament doctrine of New Testament Churches in succession as promised.
It is a fact of history and records of the enemy of truth that is so often taken by men today as the true testimony for men who were called heretics.
The more a man reads the histories of heretics, which, to use the emphatical language of almost all ecclesiastical writers, have troubled the church, that is, denied the dominion of the priests of one party, the more he is bewildered; and the more he believes the less he knows.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Creighton, Mandell
The fifth and last volume of the History of the Papacy came out in 1894, the year he accepted the presidency of the Church Historical Society; and in 1897 he became Bishop of London.
His philosophy of history tended to stress the actions of individuals over processes, but he was no writer of heroic narrative: he informed his readers that history-writing should “give off light not heat”, and his approach to research was reflected in the Statutes he drew up for the University of London.
He died in 1901; although rarely-read today, his life was one of dedication to his discipline and for that he has retained some interest as an avatar of academic historical studies.
