The coming of modern historical research had religious
consequences, especially in the more traditional churches to which
history was very important and which themselves helped to create
the historical sense. In this classic work, long unobtainable but
now revised with a new introduction, Owen Chadwick traces the
development of the notion that change in Christian doctrine was
both possible and legitimate. Bossuet in the seventeenth century
represented the opinion that Christian doctrine never or hardly
changed: Newman in the second half of the nineteenth century saw
that its expression necessarily changed in a changing society. This
book shows how one opinion changed into the other, and explains the
difficulties and tensions behind Newman's attempt to persuade an
inherently conservative institution to face reality. In so doing it
thus illuminates one vital aspect of the arrival into European
thought of a distinct historical sensibility.
