""An Essay On The Development Of Christian Doctrine"" is a theological work written by John Henry Newman, a prominent 19th-century Anglican theologian who later converted to Catholicism and became a cardinal. The book explores the idea that Christian doctrine is not static but evolves over time, adapting to new circumstances and insights while remaining faithful to its core principles. Newman argues that this process of development is necessary for the Church to remain relevant and effective in a changing world. The book draws on historical examples, including the development of the doctrine of the Trinity and the role of the papacy, to illustrate its points. It is considered a seminal work in Catholic theology and has influenced the development of doctrine in the Church.This Is A New Release Of The Original 1845 Edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
