An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, reprinted from
the 1878 edition, “is rightly regarded as one of the most seminal
theological works ever to be written,” states Ian Ker in his
foreword to this sixth edition. “It remains,” Ker continues,
"the classic text for the theology of the development of doctrine,
a branch of theology which has become especially important in the
ecumenical era.” John Henry Cardinal Newman begins the Essay by
defining how true developments in doctrine occur. He then delivers
a sweeping consideration of the growth of doctrine in the Catholic
Church from the time of the Apostles to his own era. He
demonstrates that the basic “rule” under which Christianity
proceeded through the centuries is to be found in the principle of
development, and he emphasizes that throughout the entire
life of the Church this principle has been in effect and safeguards
the faith from any corruption.
