THE CHURCH AND THE EMPIRE
Being an outline of the history of the church from A.D. 1003 to A.D. 1304
By D. J. Medley, M.A.
Professor of History in the University of Glasgow
In this volume of this work, Medley presents us 17 chapters of church history from the period of 1003 to 1304. Although I could not verify the orientation of this author, I believe him to be Anglican.
EDITORIAL NOTE
While there is a general agreement among the writers as to principles, the greatest freedom as to treatment is allowed to writers in this series. The volumes, for example, are not of the same length. Volume II, which deals with the formative period of the Church, is, not unnaturally, longer in proportion than the others. To Volume VI, which deals with the Reformation, has been allotted a similar extension. The authors, again, use their own discretion in such matters as footnotes and lists of authorities. But the aim of the series, which each writer sets before him, is to tell, clearly and accurately, the story of the Church, as a divine institution with a continuous life.
W. H. Hutton
PREFACE
The late appearance of this volume of the series needs some explanation. Portions of the book have been written at intervals; but it is only the enforced idleness of a long convalescence after illness which has given me the requisite leisure to finish it.
I have tried to avoid overloading my pages with details of political history; but in no period is it so easy to miss the whole lesson of events by an attempt to isolate the special influences which affected the organised society of the Church. The interpretation which I have adopted of the important events at Canossa is not, of course, universally accepted; but the fact that it has seldom found expression in any English work may serve as my excuse.
The Editor of the series, The Rev. W. H. Hutton, has laid me under a deep obligation, first, by his long forbearance, and more lately, by his frequent and careful suggestions over the whole book. It is dangerous for laymen to meddle with questions of technical theology. I trust that, guided by his expert hand, I have not fallen into any recognisable heresy!
Mears Ashby, October, 1910.

From the Webmaster: Read excellent write-up of theWord on C-Net about theWord!
I don't like the fact that I didn't find theWord earlier...like years ago!!! It's great! Wow! and Thanks to the software writers/developers!...is about all I can say... :) The program is incredible as are the add-on modules! I'm still telling people about theWord and of the hearts of the people who are involved in it's existence.... Though there are areas and features of the software that will definitely take some learning, other areas that once you work with the software a short while "clicks" with you, but a good portion of the features are intuitive and seem to have a natural "thought" flow to them. I've only been using theWord for a few days, but I've had no (ZERO) problems with the software. The program itself downloaded and installed without a hitch. The "modules" that you download (bibles, books, etc.) have all downloaded and imported easily. It is a very smooth running program. I even tried my hand at building a module/book from a Gutenberg text file...nothing fancy, but it worked. :) Anyhow, no problems and easy installation and initial setup. Excellent, excellent software package! I'm thinking about burning a few CD's and handing out to some folks at church and work. ;)
