Publisher:

Hodder and Stoughton

, 1899

Overview

Neglected Factors in the Study of the Early Progress of Christianity contains three lectures originally delivered in 1897 at the Theological Seminary of Auburn, New York. James Orr shows that the influence of early Christianity upon its pagan environment was much larger than is often supposed. Lectures include:

• The Extension of Christianity Laterally or Numerically in the Roman Empire
• The Extension of Christianity Vertically, or as Respects the Different Strata of Society
• The Intensive or Penetrative Influence of Christianity on the Thought and Life of the Empire

Praise for the Print Edition

Is a valuable contribution to the history of the subject.

—Scotsman

These lectures are able, learned, and they show that Dr. Orr has the gift of research, and of looking at things for himself.

—Aberdeen Free Press

Dr. Orr’s lectures are eminently instructive and interesting, and certainly go to intensify the sense of the mighty power which Christianity, from its first entrance into the world, exercised in everything it touched.
