Excerpt from The Catholic Conception of the Church: A Study of the Traditional Idea, of the Nature and Constitution, of the Church
N no branch of human knowledge has there been a more lively increase of the spirit of research during the past few years than in the study of Theology.
Many points of doctrine have been passing afresh through the crucible; re-statement is a popular cry and, in some directions, a real requirement of the age; the additions to our actual materials, both as regards ancient manuscripts and archaeological discoveries, have never before been so great as in recent years; linguistic knowledge has advanced with the fuller possibilities provided by the constant addition of more data for comparative study; cuneiform inscriptions have been deciphered, and forgotten peoples, records, and even tongues, revealed anew as the outcome of diligent, skilful and devoted study.

It shows how the central ideas, such as the authority of the pope, the distinction between clergy and laity, the formulation of doctrine and the development of liturgy and ritual, have evolved from the time of Jesus Christ to the 20th Century. The subject is organised chronologically and divided into sections covering the early Church, the establishment of the Roman Catholic Church, the reformation and the modern era. The ideas of key figures, such as Jesus, St. Paul, St. Augustine and Cardinal Bellarmine are examined in detail.
