John Henry Newman and the Development of Doctrine provides an
analysis of the attempts by John Henry Newman to account for the
historical reality of doctrinal change within Christianity in the
light of his lasting conviction that the idea of Christianity is
fixed by reference to the dogmatic content of the deposit of faith.
It argues that Newman proposed a series of hypotheses to account
for the apparent contradiction between change and continuity, that
this series begins much earlier than is generally recognized and
that the final hypothesis he was to propose, contained in An Essay
on the Development of Christian Doctrine, provides a methodology of
lasting theological value and contemporary relevance. Stephen
Morgan establishes the centrality of the problem of change and
continuity in theology, to Newman's theological work as an
Anglican, its part in his conversion to Catholicism and its
contemporary relevance to Catholic theology. It also surveys the
major secondary literature relating to the question, with
particular reference to those works published within the last fifty
years. Additionally, Morgan considers the legacy of the Essay as a
tool in Newman's theology and in the work of later theologians,
finally suggesting that it may offer a useful methodological
contribution to the contemporary Catholic debate about
hermeneutical approaches to the Second Vatican Council and
post-conciliar developments in doctrine.
