Thiel, John E.

Senses of Tradition Continuity and Development in Catholic Faith John E. Thiel - U.S.A Oxford University Press 2000 - 254tr. Hardcover, Illustration 24 cm

This book articulates a theory of Catholic tradition that departs from previous understandings. Drawing on the medieval concept of the four-fold sense of scripture, John Thiel proposes four interpretive senses of tradition. He also offers a theory of doctrinal development that reconciles Catholic belief in apostolic authority and continuity of tradition with a critical approach to the evidence of history.
