This is a very difficult read thus far, requires minimal proficiency with Greek and Latin. The latter is something I do not have an accept being unable to understand some of these footnotes. This volume traces the development of doctrines (hence the title) throughout the ENTIRETY of Christian history. Very academic - I definitely needed prerequisite knowledge before picking this up . . . and even then its difficult.

An intimidating and powerful piece of scholarship. As I near the end of this work, I'm impressed, persuaded, and paradigmatically shifted by this masterful treatise. Within these pages rests a masterful explanation of patristic thought, doctrinal development, and a tracing of the historical progression of Christianity. Also contains a fair and pointed critique of sola scriptura on theological and historical grounds.

Onto Middle Ages A.D. 800-1200. Crucial time period . . . totally neglected this time period and the incredible theological development of the Church liturgically and in the "sacra doctrina". It was a good idea to accompany this with Harold Berhman's Law and Revolution, where I can see how canon law developments liturgically and in "sacra doctrina" impact legal developments. Wonderful.

& French, but Congar uses Latin quite a bit (obviously) . . . for the Greek parts that I muddle through he does write in the Greek alphabet (which is great practice) but usually spells out some words using the English alphabet (which is helpful for some of the difficult parts).
