Publisher's Synopsis
""An Essay On The Development Of Christian Doctrine"" is a theological work written by John Henry Newman, an English theologian and cardinal of the Catholic Church. The book explores the concept of the development of Christian doctrine, arguing that the core beliefs of Christianity have evolved and developed over time. Newman asserts that the Christian faith has not remained static but has grown and adapted to changing circumstances and contexts. He argues that this process of development is a natural and necessary part of the life of the Church, and that it is guided by the Holy Spirit. The book is divided into seven chapters, each exploring different aspects of the development of Christian doctrine. It draws on historical and theological sources, including the writings of early Church fathers and the documents of Church councils. The book is considered a landmark work in the field of theology, and has had a significant influence on Catholic thought and practice. It is a complex and challenging work, but one that is essential reading for anyone interested in the history and development of the Christian faith.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
