“…This motif also figured prominently in the work of John Henry Newman (1801-90), both as an Anglican and as a Roman Catholic. Although Newman wrote no specific work on the church, several ecclesiological themes dominated his sermons and writings: the rubric of the three ecclesial offices of Christ as Prophet, Priest, and King (Newman 1911;Dulles 1990); the organic development of doctrine in the life of the church (Newman 1989;McCarren 2009); the importance of the laity in the church and the authority of the consensus fidelium (Newman 1962;Dulles 2009). Also characterizing his vision of the church were the themes of the church as the people of God, the mystical body of Christ, the temple of the Holy Spirit, and as a communion of the faithful (Ker 2009).…”

For 400 years after the Council of Trent, a juridical model of the church dominated Roman Catholicism. Shifts towards a broader ecclesiology began to emerge in the nineteenth century. Despite the attempts to repress any deviations from the official theology after the crisis of Roman Catholic Modernism in the early twentieth century, various renewal movements, known as ressourcement, in the decades between the world wars brought forth a period of rich ecclesiological research, with emphasis given to notions such as the Mystical Body, the People of God, the church as mystery, as sacrament, and as communio. The Second Vatican Council incorporated many of these developments into its vision for renewal and reform of the Roman Catholic Church. Over half a century after Vatican II, a new phase in its reception is emerging with the pontificate of Pope Francis.

This work is a critical study of the historical development of Christian doctrine, focusing especially on the period of the early church, and an assessment of the functions of doctrine. It challenges and corrects some of the theories of doctrine set out in George Lindbeck’s still-influential Nature of Doctrine (1984), particularly its ‘cognitive-linguistic’ model of doctrine, and offers a richer and more reliable account of the nature and functions of doctrine based on a close reading of the Christian tradition. This study notes the important parallels between the development of Christian doctrine on the one hand, and scientific theories on the other, using this to correct the influential account of the relation of heresy and orthodoxy developed by Walter Bauer. In place of Bauer’s account of the suppression of early orthodoxies, this study argues that multiple doctrinal formulations were proposed for discussion, only becoming ‘orthodox’ as a result of a consensual assessment within the church. The work also explores the way in which Christian doctrines can be seen as both ontological disclosures and epistemic frameworks, affirming the coherence of Christian doctrine.
