History of Dogma, Volume 1 by Adolf von Harnack
"History of Dogma, Volume 1" by Adolf von Harnack is a theological work written in the late 19th century. This text serves as a foundational study on the development and evolution of Christian dogma throughout the early centuries of the Church. Harnack aims to examine the origins and transformations of ecclesiastical doctrines as they interact with historical and cultural contexts. The opening of Harnack's work establishes a critical framework for discussing the
history of dogma, outlining the importance of examining the genesis of ecclesiastical beliefs that were not always originally defined. Harnack notes that the most challenging aspect of this study is selecting material that accurately reflects significant developments in early Christianity and biblical theology. He emphasizes the necessity for historians to maintain integrity in their analysis, distinguishing between original and derivative beliefs while navigating the complex evolution of Christian doctrines from their inception through the establishment of systematic theology.
