Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of development within the context of Christian doctrine, specifically addressing the claims of the Roman Catholic Church. The author examines the ways in which beliefs and practices evolve over time, drawing parallels with natural growth, the development of languages, and the evolution of human character. Through a series of insightful observations, the author highlights the inherent tension between the idea of development and the potential for corruption and exaggeration within any system of belief. The book delves into the development of specific doctrines like the intermediate state and purgatory, examining how these ideas evolved within the early Church and ultimately came to be enshrined in Roman Catholic theology. The author analyzes the arguments for and against these developments, engaging with the philosophical and historical context of these debates. The book then explores the question of papal infallibility, arguing that the Roman Catholic Church's claim of absolute authority rests on a flawed understanding of the nature of revelation and development. By examining the historical trajectory of Christian doctrine through the lens of development, the author raises crucial questions about the relationship between tradition, reason, and religious authority, offering a unique and thought-provoking perspective on the ongoing dialogue between different branches of Christianity.
