How Christian doctrine grows: a thoughtful look at faith, history, and change.
This book argues that Christian belief develops like an organism, not just a fixed set of ancient texts. It explains how ideas move, merge, and sometimes fade, while keeping core Christian commitments intact. The discussion centers on how to tell true development from corruption and what counts as guiding principles for a living church.
- Learn how scholars distinguish genuine growth in doctrine from stale traditions.
- See why the church is described as an evolving, yet coherent, spiritual body.
- Explore how non-Christian ideas and practices were received, transformed, or rejected.
- Discover criteria for judging changes in belief that fit the gospel and history.
Ideal for readers interested in theology, church history, and the dynamics of religious change.
