A prolific author, educator and priest, John Henry Newman sought to catalog, examine and improve knowledge and understanding of church doctrine. In this book, he delves deep into the past of the Catholic church and other traditions of Christianity, in order to accurately trace the development of various doctrines. Amazing book. Life changing for me. Doctrine develops from ideas implicit in the life of the Christian community. The Church, like Mary, ponders the mystery of God through the ages, shedding light here and there but never exhausting our understanding of Him. A simple idea, but revolutionary at its time. Work through this book slowly, asking yourself tough questions about what you think you believe. Your faith will deepen. 1681 An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, by John Henry Newman (read 25 Dec 1981) This is the 1845 edition of this famous work. I confess I found it hard to read, and not what I expected. Newman's arguments are not as dependent on reasoned proof as I would like, and I found some of his arguments not overly convincing. He obviously was very well-versed in early Church history--in fact, one wonders where one could learn all he knew, though obviously the books do so exist. This book was written at the time of his conversion, and was revised in 1873. But this version is the 1845 version. If you are Anglican, then this is a good insight into the doctrine of the original church, as John Henry Newman was the founder of the Oxford Movement which was a group which was trying to force the church to return to its roots of the 16th c. JHN converted to RC, founded a school and was highly thought of and one of the best theologians. After he died he was made a "venerable" of the RC Church. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

John Henry Newman (1801-1890) remains one of the best-known and influential English churchmen of the nineteenth century. Ordained as a priest in the Anglican Church in 1825, he converted to Roman Catholicism, being ordained as a priest and later appointed cardinal. His works include Grammar of Assent (1870) and Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1865-1866) as well as this Essay (1845), written in the midst of his own religious transformation. He discusses his theory of the development of Christian dogma: 'from the nature of the human mind, time is necessary for the full comprehension and perfection of great ideas ... the longer time and deeper thought for their full elucidation'. By showing how fidelity to timeless truths coexisted in Christianity together with deeper and more developed understanding over time, Newman provides a helpful personal and theological apology for the teaching and practice of Catholicism against its detractors.
