Newman confronts the age-old problem, which he had wrestled with for his entire life, of how Christian doctrine can develop over time while retaining its roots in the original revelation of Christ. Newman first shows that constructive development is a natural, even predictable consequence of Christ's investment of authority in the Church. He then provides clear, historically grounded criteria for distinguishing authentic developments from false novelties and fads. The result is a profound interpretation and defense of the Church's mission and of its power to proclaim the whole counsel of God.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51366008094943,"sku":"9780615913889","price":21.33,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/dRtvZf0OxR9780615913889.webp?v=1789077293"},{"product_id":"an-essay-on-the-development-of-christian-doctrine-hardcover","title":"An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine - Hardcover","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNewman's Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine is one of the most ground-breaking and influential theological works since the Reformation. Written in the lead up to Newman's conversion from the Anglican to the Catholic Church, it traces how early Christianity developed into Catholicism and has been described as doing for theology what Darwin did for biology. It is frequently referenced in debates about how Church teaching develops--what is authentic development and what isn't. \"A more intimate apprehension of original dogma\" was John Henry Newman's verdict on his Essay on the Development of Christian Dogma. He completed it in 1845 and thirty-three years later thoroughly revised it. The two versions are here compared in a new edition, tracing the process of Newman's developing thoughts--with footnotes and appendices to bring out the importance of this seminal work, which in theological terms ranks alongside The Origin of Species. This is the first critical edition of the Essay. The editor, Newman scholar James Tolhurst, provides detailed notes on the many patristic and historical references in the text which may baffle the modern reader. In an illuminating Introduction he sets the historical context and summarises Newman's idea of development. He also teases out the many revisions which Newman made to his original 1845 text when he revised it in 1878. The result is an edition which makes this classic text accessible both for Newman scholars and for the general reader.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51367541211359,"sku":"9781781820124","price":72.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/7FoETyNmUD9781781820124.webp?v=1789109779"},{"product_id":"callista-a-tale-of-the-third-century-paperback","title":"Callista: A Tale of the Third Century - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn this gripping novel of faith and persecution, Bl.

As such, he came under fire for his staunchly traditional beliefs. \"Apologia Pro Vita Sua\" is an articulation and defense of the stance he took regarding the Anglican and Roman Catholic churches. Once a clergyman in the Church of England, Newman believed that the church had regressed and strayed from certain Catholic tenets, regarding dogma and worship. Eventually, distraught by the Anglican Church, Newman left for the Roman Catholic Church, eventually receiving the title of Cardinal, granted by Pope Leo XIII. In 1864, Newman was attacked by Kingsley, an Anglican clergyman in a magazine article, criticizing Newman for lacking reason or regard for truth. \"Apologia Pro Vita Sua\" was Newman's response, giving rise to the idea that Newman's intelligence served as a balancing counterpart for his faith.
