The Growth Of Church Institutions (1891)

By Edwin Hatch

Book Overview

The Growth of Church Institutions is a historical and sociological study of the development of Christian institutions from the early church to the 19th century. Written by Edwin Hatch and first published in 1891, the book explores the evolution of church structures, including the episcopacy, priesthood, and monasticism, and their impact on the growth and organization of the Christian faith. Hatch examines the role of church institutions in shaping the religious and social landscape of Europe and the Mediterranean, from the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church to the Protestant Reformation. He also discusses the influence of non-Christian religions, such as Judaism and Islam, on the development of Christian institutions. The book is a seminal work in the field of church history and provides valuable insights into the origins and evolution of Christianity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
