By DR. GERHARD UHLHORN.
TRANSLATED BY
PROF. EGBERT C. SMYTH and REV. C. J. H. ROPES.
One Volume, Crown 8vo, $2.50.
This volume describes with extraordinary vividness and spirit the religious and moral condition of the Pagan world, the rise and spread of Christianity, its conflict with heathenism, and its final victory. There is no work that portrays the heroic age of the ancient church with equal spirit, elegance, and incisive power. The author has made thorough and independent study both of the early Christian literature and also of the contemporary records of classic heathenism.
CRITICAL NOTICES.
“It is easy to see why this volume is so highly esteemed. It is systematic, thorough, and concise. But its power is in the wide mental vision and well-balanced imagination of the author, which enable him to reconstruct the scenes of ancient history. An exceptional clearness and force mark his style.”—Boston Advertiser.
“One might read many books without obtaining more than a fraction of the profitable information here conveyed; and he might search a long time before finding one which would so thoroughly fix his attention and command his interest.”—Phil. S. S. Times.
