Beginning with the early Christian Church, Mosheim traces its development through the Roman world and Middle Ages to the Reformation and the religious divisions of early modern Europe, considering ecclesiastical events alongside contemporary politics, philosophy and learning. Noted for attempting a more critical and historical approach to church history than many earlier confessional accounts, the work was widely read in Britain through Archibald Maclaine's English translation. Presented here complete in six volumes, this 1806 edition is particularly attractive in its uniform contemporary tree-calf bindings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAn Ecclesiastical History, Ancient and Modern, from the Birth of Christ to the Beginning of the Eighteenth Century. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn Which the Rise, Progress, and Variations of Church Power, are Considered in Their Connection with the State of Learning and Philosophy, and the Political History of Europe During That Period.
