An Essay upon the Development of Christian Doctrine continues. This time, Newman examines how the Church’s insistence (against Arianism) that Jesus Christ was God, not a creature, affected doctrine on the dignity of normal human creatures in communion with God. (Obviously, this is still a livewire issue, given that Mormon theology on these things is bound to be much discussed this year. Also, some of Newman’s other comments tie in nicely with my Origen podcast this week.)
