The literal sense of tradition -- Development-in-continuity as a sense of tradition -- Dramatic development as a sense of tradition -- Incipient development as a sense of tradition -- Discerning the sense of tradition -- Tradition and theology
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
