	Philip Schaff Summary
		Philip Schaff (originally Schaf) was born on Jan. 1, 1819, in Chur, Switzerland.
		Schaff and Nevin, cosponsoring the "Mercersburg theology," challenged several popular Protestant attitudes in the United States, particularly hatred of Roman Catholicism, belief that the Reformation marked a radical break from the Christian past, and fondness for revivalistic enthusiasm over organic growth.
		Philip Schaff (January 1, 1819-1893), was a Swiss-born, German-educated theologian and a historian of the Christian church, who, after his education, lived and taught in the United States.

	Ecumenical Review, The: Philip Schaff as an ecumenical prophet: a fresh look at an old plan for Christian reunion (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Philip Schaff (1819-93), who was born in Switzerland and educated in the German universities of Tubingen, Halle and Berlin, immigrated to the United States of America in 1843 to accept a teaching position at the seminary of the German Reformed Church at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.
		Schaff heartily endorsed this convocation since he had always believed and taught that there are places in God's house not only for the various denominations found in the religion of Christianity, but also for each of the religions of the world.
		Schaff's plan for the reunion of Christians thus began with the reconciliation of Rome and Constantinople, especially with regard to their disputes about the eternal procession of the Holy Spirit in the Trinity and the authority of the bishop of Rome.

	Theologia :: History :: Philip Schaff's Idea of Historical Progress
		Schaff would go on to say that this "jejune and narrow" [32] view makes their proponents "more unhistorical and less favorable to the idea of development, than even the Romanists themselves." [33] As Schaff saw it, any organism that does not grow is a dead organism.
		Schaff explained that this word, as it was used by the historian, carried three meanings: "to abolish (tollere,) to preserve (conservare,) and to raise to a higher state (elevare.)" [35] The dialectical process began as each new stage in history abolishes the former (although only the outward is annihilated, the substance remains).
		Schaff appears to be using the picture of disease and the body's subsequent recovery as a metaphor for the dialectical process itself.

	Persecution in the Early Church
		Hadrian hated Jews, and was somewhat "indifferent to Christianity from ignorance of it."{23} Philip Schaff tells us that "he insulted the Jews and the Christians alike by erecting temples of Jupiter and Venus over the site of the temple and the supposed spot of the crucifixion."{24} Not all officials required Christians to denounce Christ.
		According to Philip Schaff, "This was the signal for a persecution which, in extent, consistency, and cruelty, exceeded all before it." It was the first to extend over the whole empire, so it produced more martyrs than any other persecution.
		Says Schaff: "All the pains, which iron and steel, fire and sword, rack and cross, wild beasts and beastly men could inflict, were employed"{52} against the church.

	Theology Today - Vol 50, No.3 - October 1993 - ARTICLE - The Artist Works the Gold: The Vision of Philip Schaff
		The extraordinary progress of missionary zeal and enterprise is phenomenal, and one of the greatest evidences for the vitality of Christianity, and an assurance of its ultimate triumph to the ends of the earth, in obedience to Christ's command and in fulfillment of his promise.
		One may well argue that Schaff's view of history was much too sanguine and his identification of the church with the kingdom of God much too parochial, but that is to evaluate the quality of this principle of coherence and not its presence.
		In Schaff's understanding, practical theology as the future of the church is tied to the so-called theoretical disciplines by the coherence of the work of God in history.

	Notherby's :: The Early Church Fathers
		Philip Schaff's Church History is one of the few complete ecclesiastical history collections available.
		In effect Schaff presents Protestantism as the heir of catholicity at the expense of the Roman See (his description of "the Papists" is outrageous), liberating doctrine from the "constraints" of ecclesial authority.
		Schaff utilizes heavy editorializing to present the writings of the Church Fathers as representing his viewpoint; this unfairly forces the reader to accept his overbearing perspective at the expense of the Church Fathers.

		Schaff was born in Switzerland in 1819 and received his training at Halle, Tibingen, and Berlin under great figures like Neander and Tholuck.At the age of twenty-five he accepted, with some regret, the challenge of an appointment at a new German Reformed Seminary on the frontier at Mercersburg, Pennsylvania.
