A magnificent history of doctrine.--New York Review of Books
In this volume Jaroslav Pelikan continues the splendid work he has
done thus far in his projected five-volume history of the
development of Christian doctrine, defined as 'what the Church
believes, teaches, and confesses on the basis of the word of God.'
The entire work will become an indispensable resource not only for
the history of doctrine but also for its reformulation today.
Copious documentation in the margins and careful indexing add to
its immense usefulness.--E. Glenn Hinson, Christian Century
This book is based on a most meticulous examination of medieval
authorities and the growth of medieval theology is essentially told
in their own words. What is more important, however, then the
astounding number of primary sources the author has consulted or
his sovereign familiarity with modern studies on his subject, is
his ability to discern form and direction in the bewildering growth
of medieval Christian doctrine, and, by thoughtful emphasis and
selection, to show the pattern of that development in a lucid and
persuasive narrative. No one interested in the history of
Christianity or theology and no medievalist, whatever the field of
specialization, will be able to ignore this magnificent
synthesis.--Bernhard W. Scholz, History
The series is obviously the indispensable text for graduate
theological study in the development of doctrine, and an important
reference for scholars of religious and intellectual history as
well. . . . Professor Pelikan's series marks a significant
departure, and in him we have at last a master teacher.--Marjorie
O'Rourke Boyle, Commonweal
