| | It is the task of the Christian community, as it has always been, so this argument runs, to challenge man to come out of his pre-Christian era, to repent and to come to terms with the activity of God in Christ. | | | The era was always more or less but never wholly Christian in terms of obedience to God, but always Christian (or Hebrew) in its bedrock assumptions. | | | This is not Christian doubt, the other side of the struggle of faith. |

| | The Gnostics maintained the essential antithesis of the spiritual and the material; the origin, by emanation from God, of numberless aeons, the sum of which is the pleroma; and the final return of all things to God by a universal redemption. | | | Christianity will be an ever-present factor in philosophical speculation: the rationalist who refuses its aid and the religious philosopher who accepts that aid must show reason for such refusal or acceptance. | | | There is no doubt that his followers, in developing the teachings of the founder of the sect, were influenced to a large extent by the Gnostic dualism, and laid claim, as the Gnostics did, to a special gnosis. |

| | One is to admit that the event that marked the end of the previous era and the beginning of the "Common Era" was the death (and resurrection) of Christ and the birth of Christianity. | | | And not surprisingly so, since the Christian dating system that we use today implicity declares the death and resurrection of Christ to be the most important event in dated history. | | | So we've determined that the Common Era began with the death and resurrection of Christ--and, by inferrence, the rise of the Chriistian religion. |

| | Knowledge of the earliest mounted bells in the Christian Church is meager; traditionally, Paulinus (353-431), bishop of Nola in Campania, Italy, is alleged to have introduced the first tower bell toward the close of the fourth century-to be rung as a summons to worship. | | | With the status of Christianity no longer precarious, and its practice spreading north from Italy, handbells and-soon afterward-larger tower bells accompanied the establishment of new monasteries and churches. | | | The ritual of the Christian church placed great emphasis on symbolism (in common with similar practice in the Orient), and eventually the cymbala and other musical instruments assumed certain symbolic connotations. |

| | It is remarkable, however, that the Christian era was not introduced as a basis of reckoning till the sixth century; and even then its adoption made very slow progress. | | | To get over this complexity, the Creation of the World has been adopted, by Christians and Jews alike, as the commencement of a universal era. | | | It is done thus: Multiply the next preceding Olympiad by 4, and add the odd years; subtract the sum from 777 if before Christ, or subtract 776 from the sum if after Christ; and the remainder will be the commencement of the given year—generally about the middle of July in the Christian year. |
