Papal Infallibility

<DIV><I>First major book-length study on this subject written by a Protestant in more than a century.</I><BR /><BR /> The dogma of papal infallibility has become increasingly problematic for Roman Catholics and it is a major point of division in Christian ecumenical dialogue -- arguably the key issue separating Catholics and other Christians today. Mark Powell here contends that papal infallibility has inevitable shortcomings as a way to secure religious certainty. After introducing the doctrine he illustrates those limitations in the life and writings of four prominent Catholic theologians: Henry Edward Cardinal Manning John Henry Cardinal Newman Avery Cardinal Dulles and Hans Kung.<BR /><BR /> The book concludes with a fresh proposal for conceiving religious epistemology ecclesial authority and ecumenical agreement. Powell's <I>Papal Infallibility</I> is an accessible critical study for Catholics and non-Catholics alike.</DIV>
