Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the historical and theological development of Christian thought throughout history. The author argues that a naturalizing tendency is strong and widespread in the modern world and aims at abolishing religious precepts that emphasize the supernatural. The author traces the historical roots of supernatural religion back to Christ, who emphasized the importance of faith and the need to rise above earthly concerns. The author explains how a focus on material wealth and scientific advancements has led many to disregard the spiritual aspects of life. Christian naturalism, the author claims, has led to a decline in the practice of virtue and a loss of sight of man's ultimate destiny, ultimately resulting in a return to pagan ideals. The book explores doctrinal development throughout Christian history, arguing that the Deposit of Faith is complete and cannot be altered, but can only be further clarified and expanded for a more thorough understanding of what was originally taught. Overall, this book offers a comprehensive analysis of the conflict between naturalism and the supernatural in modern religious thought, providing valuable insights into the historical development of the Christian faith.
