John Henry Newman's "Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine"
The "essay" is about 400 pages long and not exactly light reading. But, wow, is it good (so far I've only just finished the introduction)


I just finished reading "By What Authority?: An Evangelical Discovers Catholic Tradition" by Mark Shea, which follows the logical/theological journey Shea finds himself on as he attempts to defend Christianity against modernism from a "bible only" stance. Concise, well written, easy to follow. I would highly recommend it for anyone interested in better understanding the nature of Tradition and Authority in the Catholic church.

Chris is currently reading "Joseph Ratzinger: Life in the Church and Living Theology" by Maximilian Heinrich Heim. He'll be writing a book report on it for class.
