Excerpt from Historical Analysis of Christian CivilisationThe first period comprises the time that separates the life and death of Jesus Christ, to the fall of the empire Of the West. That period belongs entirely to Roman history. We first behold in it the propagation of the Christian faith among the Old, decayed societies, afterwards, the struggles and triumph of Christianity, and its introduction in the civil and political organisations. In the mean time the church of Christ has also organised itself, established its chief dogmas, developed its doctrine, in short, the old Pagan religion is conquered.As the second period commences with the extinction of the Roman empire of the West, we are naturally led to the East, where the Roman empire and Roman manners have been transferred, but this empire of the East becomes a lifeless transition, as the invasions of the barbarians transform the whole Of western Europe, where new nations form themselves under the auspices of Christianity, France being then the most pre-eminent among all. During a short time, however, the Christian nations were threatened with annihilation. The Mohammedan civilisation spread with the rapidity of light ning, but was at last conquered and overpowered by France. Afterwards, Charlemagne created the first real elements of Christian organisation, he modified the civil and religious legislation, established the ecclesiastical constitution and the unity of the spiritual authority.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
