An Essay On Development Of Christian Doctrine (Notre Dame Series in the Great Books, No 4) Review: A masterwork by a master theologian and historian - By the great John Henry Newman (that's "Blessed John Henry Newman to you...!" since his recent beatification) this work is quite simply one of the seminal works of church history of the past 200 years. Making the argument that all the full-blown Catholic doctrine of the modern Roman Catholic Church can be found- in germinal form- in the ceremonial, the prayers and liturgy and the popular devotions of the primitive Church of the 1st and 2nd centuries, Newman's research and writing of this book can be said to have had a profound influence on leading him to his eventual conversion to the Catholic Church from the Church of England. It was life-changing for him and has been - I daresay- life-changing (or at the very least, thought-provoking) for many a reader ever since its original publication in the mid 19th century. For those who want to understand Newman's life and doctrine better, this is an indispensable book. Review: About the Format, not Content - Since this work is on the public domain and therefore available in text format online, I don't think I need to say much of the content. (In fact, I cannot, since I haven't read the work fully yet.) This paperback copy of Newman's Essay, however, is very nicely formatted. The pages are about letter-sized, which does give the work a touch of authenticity, being an essay written in academic prose, perhaps originally in the author's own hand. (How am I to know these things for sure? I don't, but the sense of it seems fair.) As it stands, I can find nothing to improve now. If this work comes at a good price, it is an excellent choice. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #291,878 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #421 in Christian Systematic Theology (Books) #454 in Christian Historical Theology (Books) #1,447 in Christian Church History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (138) | | Dimensions | 8.14 x 5.42 x 1.03 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 026800921X | | ISBN-13 | 978-0268009212 | | Item Weight | 1.2 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 480 pages | | Publication date | March 2, 1994 | | Publisher | University of Notre Dame Press | ## Images ![An Essay On Development Of Christian Doctrine (Notre Dame Series in the Great Books, No 4) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71DYs2QPYUL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A masterwork by a master theologian and historian *by C***S on January 12, 2013* By the great John Henry Newman (that's "Blessed John Henry Newman to you...!" since his recent beatification) this work is quite simply one of the seminal works of church history of the past 200 years.

If this work comes at a good price, it is an excellent choice. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Essay on the Development of Christian Doc *by P***L on April 4, 2013* I chose to read this book (and another by Newman) after reading in a biography of Pope Benedict XVI that the writings of John Cardinal Newman were a particular interest his, and a significant influence in his development as a theologian. Like many students of our Catholic faith and its teachings, I had little more than a passing familiarity with Newman's works until now. Now, I can see how truly profound was his thinking and how significant his writings. Reading Newman is a journey. It is a journey of understanding into the faith of the Catholic Church, into the mind of a brillian religious scholar and apologist, and it is a journey in time. With that, I offer the following cautions: Written English usage of the 19th Century may lean towards the poetic at times and flowery and archaic at others. Secondly, do not attempt to read Newman when you are sleepy or not completely focused upon what you are reading. If you do, you will suddenly find you are in the midst of something profound and have no idea what you've just read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vn/products/14148769-an-essay-on-development-of-christian-doctrine-notre-dame-series](https://www.desertcart.vn/products/14148769-an-essay-on-development-of-christian-doctrine-notre-dame-series) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vietnam* *Store origin: VN* *Last updated: 2026-04-25*
