Beschreibung
The Prophetic Church: History and Doctrinal Development in John Henry Newman and Yves Congar is a historical and a systematic account of tradition, doctrinal development, and the theology of history, with a particular focus on the contributions of two modern Catholic figures, John Henry Newman (1801-1890) and Yves Congar (1904-1995). It is structured around two overarching themes: the 'subject' and 'history' in their relationship to doctrinal development. In addition, the thought of both Congar and Newman is interwoven throughout.
Andrew Meszaros contextualizes and surveys Congar's reception of Newman. He explains the appeal of Newman and provides concrete evidence that would substantiate the nature and extent of Newman's influence on Congar, and thereby indirectly, on Vatican II. Meszaros also discusses doctrinal development with special attention to the subject and history. These treatments are based on the subjective and historical 'motors' or 'causes', as it were, of doctrinal development. He then develops a theology of doctrine and doctrinal development as inspired by Newman and Congar. In its reflection on the meaning of the Doctrinal Economy, this study contributes to the theological problem of history and doctrine by synthesizing and honing contributions of these two great thinkers of modern Catholic theology. It is precisely some of the key differences between Newman and Congar that make it theologically enriching to study them together.

Rezensionen / Stimmen
In the current conflict between idealistically ahistorical approaches to Catholic doctrine and reductively historicising approaches, Meszaros' superb book sets out the salutary ground. * Matthew Levering, Louvain Studies * This book...is of great significance to the scholarly community interested in Newman's thought. Meszaros fills a gap...with his use of Newman and Congar to explain both the historical and contemporary complexity of the questions that the rise of historical consciousness poses. * Elizabeth H. Farnsworth * With the publication of The Prophetic Church, Andrew Meszaros offers an impressive contribution to the ever-burgeoning field of Newman studies. Meszaros' work stands out from other recent studies of Newman's theology by offering an in-depth, carefully researched analysis of a topic that has yet to receive the kind of attention it deserves-namely, the reception of Newman's thought on the part of Yves Congar, one of the most important Catholic theologians of the twentieth century and an influential peritus at the Second Vatican Council. * Horizons: The Journal of the College Theology Society *Weitere Details
