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...

This text presents a thorough discussion of the six principal writers of the Catholic revival in English literature - Newman, Hopkins, Belloc, Chesterton, Greene and Waugh. Beginning with Newman's conversion in 1845 and ending with Waugh's completion of the trilogy The Sword of Honour in 1961, it explores how Catholicism shaped the work of these six prominent writers. English literature was overwhelmingly Protestant and that there was no prospect of a Catholic body of literature. Describing this claim as happily lacking in prescience, Ian Ker argues that Newman, Hopkins, Belloc, Chesterton,...

John Henry Newman is often described as "the Father of the Second Vatican Council." He anticipated most of the Council's major documents, as well as being an inspiration to the theologians who were behind them. His writings offer an illuminating commentary both on the teachings of the Council and the way these have been implemented and interpreted in the post-conciliar period. This book is the first sustained attempt to consider what Newman's reaction to Vatican II would have been. As a theologian who on his own admission fought throughout his life against theological liberalism, yet who...
