Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
The extensive writings of Newman (1801-90) remain important in our time. Newman, who has been advanced for canonization, was an English Catholic theologian and controversialist, poet, and musician whose rapier pen wrought devastation on his enemies. This collection of four essays includes three shorter works, The Theory of Developments in Religious Doctrine (1843), On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine (1859), and two chapters of A Letter Addressed to His Grace the Duke of Norfolk (1874). The classic An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine (1845), which led Newman from Anglicanism to the Roman Church, is included. Compiler Gaffney provides clear commentaries on the selections he calls "revolutionary," which are useful for studies in developmental theology. This is recommended for religious collections and informed lay readers.

Theology term paper,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Conscience, Consensus, and the Development of Doctrine (Paperback)
I'm working on a term paper for a graduate theology class. This book is perfect for the topic of Newman's observation of the natural outgrowth in the development of doctrine as outlined by the early Church fathers. The notes provided by the editor were most helpful in describing the progression of Newman's research and conclusions on the subject and how they changed from the first published version of his "Essay on the Development of Doctrine" and his final version thirty years later. Even if you're not a student this is still an interesting read.

This review is from: Conscience, Consensus, and the Development of Doctrine (Paperback)
Excellent book for reading Newman in the original. These writings cover a significant part of Newman's life and give the reader a good cross section of Newman's thinking over an extended period of time.
