Book excerpt: Still considered essential reading for serious thinkers on religion more than a century and a half after it was written, this seminal work of modern theology, first published in 1845, presents a history of Catholic doctrine from the days of the Apostles to the time of its writing, and follows with specific examples of how the doctrine has not only survived corruption but grown stronger through defending itself against it, and is, therefore, the true religion.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seminal work from the "Father of Vatican II" "John Henry Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) deeply influenced the theological thought of a great part of the nineteenth century, first as an Anglican and then as a Catholic. His greatest contribution was on the matter of the development of doctrine within the Church established by Christ, in conformity with traditional teaching and confirmed by Holy Scripture. By development he meant both a process and the result of that process, and within it a faithfulness to an idea." -Fr. Edward J. Berbusse, S.J. Still considered essential reading for serious thinkers on religion more than a century and a half after it was written, this seminal work of modern theology, first published in 1845, presents a history of Catholic doctrine from the days of the Apostles to the time of its writing, and follows with specific examples of how the doctrine has not only survived corruption but grown stronger through defending itself against it, and is, therefore, the true religion. This classic of Christian apologetics, considered a foundational work of 19th-century intellectualism on par with Darwin's Origin of Species, is must reading not only for the faithful but also for anyone who wishes to be well educated in the fundamentals of modern thought. "Faith is illuminative, not operative; it does not force obedience, though it increases responsibility; it heightens guilt, but it does not prevent sin. The will is the source of action." -John Henry Cardinal Newman

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy and Christian Doctrine: An Essay in Reinterpretation Ready to bless the projects of his patrons, and that of the old Teutonic War God, whom Christ dethroned, but who, decked out in modern guise, seems to be reasserting his prerogatives once more. This is a very significant fact. Just in proportion as it forces men to recognise the essential antagonism between Christianity and autocratic militarism, will it dispose them to recognise how closely it is intertwined with all that is best in the modern democratic move ment. It provides by implication a striking confirmation of the contention that that move ment is not merely compatible with Christian beliefs and standards, but that it is their direct outcome, and cannot maintain itself apart from the intellectual and social background provided by them.

Download or read book Principles of Christianity written by James Stuart and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Principles of Christianity: Being an Essay Towards a More Correct Apprehension of Christian Doctrine, Mainly Soteriological As this Work, on its negative aspect, will have the effect of eliminating the theory or doctrine of imputation in its various applications from Christian theology, it will be convenient to begin with a brief statement of what that doctrine is, and what it involves. The theory of imputation forms an essential part of the system of Christian doctrine embodied in the standards of the leading Reformed Churches. Applied in the first instance to the primal sin, of which all men are supposed to become partakers through Adam, it has been extended to the sin of which Christ is supposed to have become a partaker through the human race, otherwise through the elect, and then to the righteousness of which all believers are supposed to become partakers through Christ. It has moulded and determined not only the doctrine of justification, but the whole scheme of salvation, including the constitution or person of the Saviour, and the nature, method, and limits of His work. Moreover, it has reacted on the doctrine of sin, giving rise to a peculiar, and, as we shall see, somewhat fanciful view of the relation of the first man to all his descendants.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Christian Doctrine of Prayer: An Essay There are two kinds of Prayer, the Prayer of Faith and the Prayer of Form. Men must either pray in earnest, because they expect their prayer to accomplish something, and ask God for what they want just as they would ask any one else, - expecting to get it; and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of F aith. Or they must pray as a matter of propriety, and from a sense of duty, - because prayer is beautiful, or because prayer is commanded and this kind of prayer I call the Prayer of Form.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Development of Doctrine: The Work of Christ This lecture is designed to be a brief introduction to the History of Christian Doctrine. The subject was selected, partly because it has largely occupied my thoughts for some years past and partly because the drift of current theological speculation renders it necessary that every intelligent Christian should have definite views on a question of such great, practical interest. Steering clear of the Romanist theory, on the one hand, and the theory Of Skeptical Rationalism, on the other, I have endeavoured to present and defend a conception of the Development of Doctrine, which recognizes both the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures, and the right Of the Church to test the doctrines received from the past, by the Word of God, which liveth and abideth forever.

Download or read book Development of Christian Doctrine written by Jaroslav Pelikan and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 1969-01-11 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The problem of change has assumed great prominence in much of the current ferment in theology, and many of the issues in question can best be interpreted as relating to the validity and limits of doctrinal development. The questions cannot be faced constructively, however, until the development of doctrine has been clearly charted, a historical as well as a theological assignment. In this unique introductory survey—more modest in scope but more scholarly in method than Cardinal Newman’s great programmatic essay of 1845—Mr. Pelikan presents three case histories of the particular doctrines that have crucial points of division among Christians. His cogent analyses of Cyprian on Original Sin, Athanasius on the Virgin Mary, and Hilary on the Holy Spirit demonstrate the interaction between the sacramental life of the Church and the intellectual work of the theologian that consistently marked the development of doctrine by the early Fathers. Thus they clarify some central aspects of the continuing theological and ecumenical debates. Mr. Pelikan, Titus Street Professor of Ecclesiastical History at Yale University, is the author of many books and articles, including a forthcoming full-scale history of the development of doctrine.
Download or read book The Living Temple Or Scriptural Views of the Church Classic Reprint written by John Seely Stone and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Living Temple, or Scriptural Views of the Church The work here offered to the public embodies the- -substance, carefully revised, slightly enlarged and somewhat modified, of what was some years ago published under the title of "The Church Universal." No essential change has been made; but the author ventures to hope that sufficient improvement has been effected to render the work more worthy of the time and thought which may be given to its perusal. The book aims, among other things, at two principal points: the Scriptural Idea of the Church; and the accord with this Idea of our own standards and of the best standard writers on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Origin and Development of Christian Dogma: An Essay in the Science of History If we compare Christianity with the other dogmatic religions of the world, we are at once struck by a feature peculiar to it, namely, the complexity of its doctrinal system. A glance at the Athanasian Creed is sufficient to show that this peculiarity results from the existence of fundamental inconsistencies in the dogmas of Christianity. Such inconsistencies are not found in other religions, whether, like Mohammedanism, they have at once sprung into full maturity at the time of their creation, or whether, like Judaism, they have passed through a long and slow process of development.

Download or read book Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine written by John Henry Cardinal Newman and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-07-06 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the founders behind the Oxford Movement in England in the 1830's and early 1840's, Cardinal John Henry Newman's research into Church history troubled him because he did not realize how far the Church of England had drifted in essence and principles from those of the early Church. Newman examines the different distinctions between the beliefs held by Catholics, the Eastern Churches, and Protestants and seeks to show through the records of history - both what they reveal and what they conceal - how to distinguish between "developments" of Revelation and "corruptions." The major doctrines of the different Christian churches are looked at with an eye towards explaining how often what appears to be an "addition" to the Christian faith is but a development or a greater understanding in an explicit manner of what was held in earlier times implicitly. These are properly termed "developments." Likewise, many beliefs that are taken as "givens" by Christians are shown to be anything but "givens" in terms of their relationship to the ancient Church or their profound absence from it in any form explicitly or implicitly (the latter are properly styled as "corruptions of Revelation", "inventions", or "traditions of men"). Newman's book is a fascinating work by one of the most brilliant minds of the 19th century.
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to Christian Doctrine written by Colin E. Gunton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997-06-19 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is Christian doctrine? The fourteen specially commissioned essays in this book serve to give an answer to many aspects of that question. Written by leading theologians from America and Britain, the essays place doctrine in its setting - what it has been historically, and how it relates to other forms of culture - and outline central features of its content. They attempt to answer questions such as 'what has, and does, Christian doctrine teach about God, the creation, the human condition and human behaviour?' and 'what is the part played in Christian doctrine by the Trinity, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit?' New readers will find this an accessible and stimulating introduction to the main themes of Christian doctrine, while advanced students will find a useful summary of recent developments which demonstrates the variety, coherence and intellectual vitality of contemporary Christian thought.
