Excerpt from A Manual of the History of Dogmas, Vol. 2: The Development of Dogmas During the Middle Ages and After, 869-1907
In the study of doctrinal development during the Middle Ages, and also in modern times, no account need be taken of the Eastern Church. For after the schism caused by Michael Cerularius, patriarch of Constantinople (1053 the East contributed nothing to the development of doctrine. Cut off by its own suicidal act from the source of ecclesiastical life, it became absolutely sterile. Its theology is to - day where it was left by John Damascene in the eighth century, except that along some lines it has actually fallen into error. Hence, while investigating this second period of dog matic development, the student can give his undivided atten tion to the theology of the West.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of medieval theology, exploring the intellectual and spiritual landscape that shaped Christian thought for centuries. It traces the evolution of doctrinal development from the early Middle Ages through to the end of the fifteenth century, focusing primarily on the influential Scholastic period. During this era, renowned theologians such as Anselm of Canterbury, Peter Abelard, and Thomas Aquinas grappled with profound questions about faith, reason, and the nature of God. The book examines their diverse approaches, highlighting the interplay between authority and reason, mysticism and intellectualism, that characterized Scholastic thought. Through meticulous analysis of key theological concepts like the existence of God, the nature of the Trinity, the problem of evil, and the role of grace, the book illuminates the complexities and nuances of medieval Christian belief. It also explores the historical context of significant events such as the rise of universities, the influence of Aristotelian philosophy, and the emergence of various theological schools. By shedding light on the intellectual achievements and enduring legacy of medieval theologians, this book offers valuable insights into the development of Christian doctrine and its profound impact on Western thought and culture.
