Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book reexamines the evolution of Christian doctrine from the perspective of contemporary historical scholarship. The author traces the development of Christian belief from its origins in the teachings of Jesus Christ through the major creeds and councils of the early church, arguing that these doctrines emerged in response to the needs and challenges of their time and place. The book also examines the role of creed conformity in Christian history, arguing that it has both positive and negative aspects. On the one hand, creeds can provide a sense of unity and identity for a religious community. On the other hand, they can also be used to exclude and marginalize those who do not conform to the prevailing orthodoxy. The author concludes by arguing that the historical method is the best way to understand the development of Christian doctrine and that this method can help us to avoid the dangers of both creedalism and anti-creedal ism.
