Dp. Thompson, Edward Schillebeeckx on the development of doctrine (Post-modern historical-critical translations of christological traditions in a pluralistic and secularized modern world), THEOL STUD, 62(2), 2001, pp. 303-321
Because of the shifts in his fundamental understanding of epistemology, sal
vation, and revelation, Edward Schillebeeckx argues that an appropriate und
erstanding of the development of doctrine no longer located doctrinal conti
nuity in the preservation or logical development of earlier doctrinal langu
age. Rather. he argues that doctrinal development authentically arises from
a critical translation of Christian experience from one historical era to
the next.
