Excerpt from The Development of Doctrine in the Early Church: Author of Manual of Christian Doctrine"; "Scripture and Its Witnesses"
The Roman Catholic Church, in keeping with its view of the Church as the divine interpreter of God's will on earth, regards the decisions of General Councils (in later ages these were under its own direction) as obligatory. The Greek Church takes the same attitude in regard to the early Councils. All other Churches hold themselves free on the question, although they differ in the'amount of deference shown to early Church authority. The Anglican Church, which pays the greatest regard to that authority, says in its Articles that General Councils have erred. It may be said that the evangelical Free Churches hold by the substance of the three Creeds, although they may criticise the terms. The Reformation made no change inthis respect. Its controversies turned on doctrines of another class. Ittacitly accepted the system of doctrine defined in the three Creeds, The same is true of evangelical churches generally.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating evolution of Christian doctrine during a crucial period in history, from the early church to the time of St. Augustine. It traces the development of key theological concepts, exploring the controversies that shaped their definition and the influential figures who shaped early Christian thought. The book examines the origins and growth of significant doctrines, including the nature of God, the Trinity, the role of Christ, sin, and redemption, against the backdrop of emerging controversies and heresies. It highlights the interplay between Scripture and philosophical thought as Christian thinkers grappled with defining and defending their faith in a world teeming with diverse and often challenging beliefs. The author skillfully illuminates the emergence of influential figures like Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch, and Irenaeus, whose writings provide valuable insights into the early church's struggles with defining its identity and core tenets. The book also explores the rise of Gnosticism, Montanism, and Sabellianism, tracing the impact of these influential movements on the development of Christian thought and practice. The insights provided by this book offer a unique window into the formative years of Christian theology, showcasing the dynamism, intellectual rigor, and human drama that shaped the development of some of the most fundamental doctrines of the faith.
