The Christian Consciousness: Its Relation To Evolution In Morals And In Doctrine

The Christian Consciousness: Its Relation To Evolution In Morals And In Doctrine is a book written by John Sutherland Black that explores the relationship between the Christian consciousness and the evolution of morals and doctrine. The book delves into the idea that the Christian consciousness is not static, but rather evolves over time in response to changes in society and culture. Black argues that this evolution can be seen in both the moral teachings of the church and in its doctrinal beliefs. The book is divided into two parts. The first part focuses on the evolution of morals within Christianity, examining how the church has responded to changing societal norms and values throughout history. Black looks at various moral issues, such as slavery, women's rights, and war, and how the church's teachings on these issues have evolved over time. The second part of the book explores the evolution of Christian doctrine. Black argues that the church's beliefs and interpretations of scripture have also evolved over time, as new discoveries and cultural changes have challenged traditional understandings. He examines the role of reason and critical thinking in shaping Christian doctrine, and how different theological perspectives have emerged over the centuries. Overall, The Christian Consciousness: Its Relation To Evolution In Morals And In Doctrine is a thought-provoking exploration of the relationship between Christianity and the changing world around it. It offers a nuanced and insightful perspective on how the Christian consciousness has evolved over time, and the implications of this evolution for the future of the church.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
