Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, compiled in the 16th century, examines the evolution of Christian doctrine within the Roman obedience immediately before the Scottish Reformation. Its unique perspective lies in the fact that, despite the imminent split with the Roman Catholic Church, it steers clear of inflammatory rhetoric and focuses instead on guiding doctrine. It explains within the limits of the Roman obedience, and on the eve of the Scottish Reformation, the tenets of the Christian faith in a balanced and accessible way. The book comprehensively covers the Ten Commandments, the Seven Sacraments, and the Lord's Prayer, all in accordance with the perspective of the Catholic Church. Historical context and Gallican influences have shaped the book's narrative, yet it is characterized by an unexpected moderation and absence of polemic. As a result, it offers a nuanced look at a significant juncture in religious history, making it invaluable for anyone interested in the history of the Reformation or the development of Christian thought.
