Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book focuses on the implications of the Catholic Churchâs declaration of papal infallibility. The author argues that the dogma is essential for the preservation of Christian doctrine in the face of modern challenges to the authority of the Church and the Bible. These challenges come from those who use the term "naturalism" to posit that all religious truth is discoverable through human reason alone, and therefore, religious institutions and dogma are unnecessary. The author presents concepts from various theologians to illustrate the dangers of such a view and how it leads to doctrinal error that distorts the very nature of Christianity itself. This fascinating and insightful book traces the history of Christian thought on infallibility from the early Church Fathers to the present day. The author examines the arguments for and against infallibility, and explores the implications of this doctrine for the understanding of Christian faith. The book also situates the Catholic Church's declaration of papal infallibility within the broader context of the rise of modern secularism, and the increasing challenges to religious authority.
