Excerpt from The Second Century
The translations of the passages quoted are; as a rule, from the volumes in Early Church Classics.
It is impossible for anyone who loves the history of the Church not to express his reverence for the great name of Lightfoot; for one who was once a Lightfoot scholar in Ecclesiastical History at Cambridge it would be wrong not to do so. Accuracy, knowledge, and reverence were once the characteristics of our English theologians. Dr. Lightfoot, in his studies of the second century, showed us all these at their best, and it is to be hoped that English scholars, throwing 03 German influences, will now happily return to the paths where he is our guide.

Excerpt from The Second Century
These reading Church history of the second century may be useful, it is hoped, for use both in church and privately. They aim at giving a simple account of a period, sometimes supposed to be very difficult, sometimes very chaotic, and for both these reasons much neglected. I have tried to give the ordinary reader some information about the greater characters, the Christian literature, and the Church life of the second century. Many devout Christians know little about them, although there is every reason why an earnest and otherwise well informed Churchman should know something of the Early Church.
But I have a further hope that this little book may lead some of its readers to study Church history further in larger modern books or through translations, at any rate, in some of the early Christian writers themselves, If they do this they will understand their New Testament better; they will understand and love their own Church better. To see Christian worship in its earlier days, to know what S. Ignatius said or S. Irenæus taught, how the Apologists pleaded the Christian cause and described the Christian way of life-all these are, happily, both easy and profitable. To help those who may wish to do this I have added a list of books which they will find useful.
