The appearance of another history of the early Church requires some
explanation. As the progress of the Christian commonwealth for the
first three hundred years has been recently described by British,
German, and American writers of eminent ability, it may, perhaps,
be thought that the subject is now exhausted. No competent judge
will pronounce such an opinion. During the last quarter of a
century, various questions relating to the ancient Church, which
are almost, if not altogether, ignored in existing histories, have
been earnestly discussed; whilst several documents, lately
discovered, have thrown fresh light on its transactions. There are,
besides, points of view, disclosing unexplored fields for thought,
from which the ecclesiastical landscape has never yet been
contemplated. The following work is an attempt to exhibit some of
its features as seen from a new position. The importance of this
portion of the history of the Church can scarcely be
over-estimated. Our attention is here directed to the life of
Christ, to the labours of the apostles and evangelists, to the
doctrines which they taught, to the form of worship which they
sanctioned, to the organization of the community which they
founded, and to the indomitable constancy with which its members
suffered persecution. The practical bearing of the topics thus
brought under review must be sufficiently obvious.

There are other indications in this letter that it cannot have been
written at the date ascribed to it by the advocates of the Ignatian
Epistles. It contains an admonition to "pray for kings (or the
kings), authorities, and princes." [18:1] We are not at liberty to
assume that these three names are precisely synonymous. By kings,
or the kings, we may apparently understand the imperial rulers; by
authorities, consuls, proconsuls, praetors, and other magistrates;
and by princes, those petty sovereigns and others of royal rank to
be found here and there throughout the Roman dominions.
