Excerpt from Development, and the Roman Catholic Claims Grounded Upon It: A Paper Read in Christ Church, Oxford, in 1878
Is Christianity a developing religion at all in the sense just suggested? Is it not rather one unchanging, eternal?
Or, If we say that Christianity was intended to develop, but deny the rightness of Roman develop ment, what grounds have we for doing this last, and what kind of development do we acknowledge?

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of development as a determinant in the evolution of Christian doctrine, as interpreted through the lens of the Roman Catholic Church. The author draws attention to the tension found between the essential unchanging nature of the Christian faith, and the dynamic character of doctrine that has unfolded in response to historical and cultural shifts. Through the examination of the Nicene Creed as establishing the foundational doctrines of the faith that maintain their validity, and the analysis of Roman Catholic developments, such as papal infallibility and the veneration of the Virgin Mary, the author argues that Roman development is defined by human logic and instinct, rather than from divine revelation. Ultimately, this book elucidates the significance in distinguishing between genuine and spurious development within Christianity and its implications for the integrity of the faith.
