THE UNIVERSAL HISTORY OF CHRISTIANITY

FROM JUSTINIAN TO LUTHER

AD 518—1517

BY LEIGHTON PULL

PREFACE

THE purpose of these lectures is to exhibit some pictures of the growth of Christendom, both ecclesiastical and civil, during the Middle Ages. They are neither strictly theological nor apologetic, but they necessarily touch upon many questions of theology, and they are written with the belief that the communion of saints is a great reality. To some readers their omissions may appear to be culpable and their repetitions to be irksome. But I hope that others will consider that the method which I have adopted makes each lecture more intelligible than it might otherwise have proved to be.
