Theories of Development in the Oxford Movement - Paperback

by James Pereiro (Author)

James Pereiro proves convincingly that the Oxford Movement and the theory of development of doctrine cannot be properly understood without a contextual analysis of the Movement's theory of religious knowledge. The book also shows how the first stirrings of a coherent theory of development of doctrine took place, away from the limelight, in the thought of Samuel Francis Wood, one of Newman's students at Oriel.
