Sinopsis
Explore how early Christian doctrine developed and how unity in belief has shaped church history. This concise edition examines the idea that church teachings grow from a divine germ but are shaped by human thought and history. It invites readers to weigh centuries of doctrinal debate and the balance between scripture, tradition, and authority.
The author surveys the roots of Christian dogma, the role of councils, and the line between timeless truth and later interpretation. It challenges readers to consider how beliefs that seem settled today emerged, and what that means for faith and church leadership.
- Learn how dogmas can originate from scriptural foundations or from later arguments in the church.
- See how councils attempted to define faith and the questions they faced about consensus and authority.
- Understand the distinction between germinal truths and later developments in theology.
Ideal for readers curious about church history, doctrine, and the debates that continue to shape modern Catholic thought.

Reseña del editor
Excerpt from The Primitive Church and the Primacy of Rome
His book demands an introduction, which, I am afraid, will have to be mainly occupied with myself.
Until eighteen months ago I was a member of the Society of Jesus; now I am no more so. I was not expelled from that Society. I left it of my own accord, because the religious opinions and doctrines I held did not any longer agree with the opinions and doctrines held sacred by that Society.
As long as I remained in the Society of Jesus my Superiors never complained of me for reasons other than those connected with differences in doctrine. On this point I can appeal to all the Jesuits who have known me. I served the Society of Jesus for twenty-seven years with the utmost fidelity.

Calificación del vendedor: 4 de 5 estrellas
Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book questions the Roman Catholic Church's centuries-old claims of being the one true church of Christ. The author argues that Christ's true church is not a local institution but an invisible body comprising all earnest Christians who embrace essential doctrines and partake in the means of grace Christ himself provided. This book explores the nature of the true church as envisioned by the author, examining historical and Scriptural evidence to challenge the Roman Catholic Church's exclusivity claims and narrow definition of the church. Ultimately, the author argues, the true church transcends denominational boundaries and is open to all who genuinely profess faith in Christ and follow his teachings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Nº de ref. del artículo: 9781330793671_0
