YouTube Description
as posted by the channelDoctrinal development is basically a cope for realizing doctrines aren't apostolic even though we said they were, right?
Well, it turns out that, as in most things, famous thinker's ideas aren't well-summarized in memes or comment sections.
St. John Henry Newman's famous "Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine" has the poor luck of being a work that everyone thinks they understand without reading it because the thesis is so famous. For years, I put off reading it because it's long, and I thought I basically understood it. This was a mistake. It's one I hope you don't make either.
In this video, I give an overview of the book and focus on two of Newman's key criteria for determining valid development of doctrine.

About Gospel Simplicity:
Gospel Simplicity began as a YouTube channel in a Moody Bible Institute dorm. It was born out of the central conviction that the gospel is really good news, and I wanted to share that with as many people as possible. The channel has grown and changed over time, but that central conviction has never changed. Today, we make content around biblical and theological topics, often interacting with people from across the Christian tradition with the hope of seeking greater unity and introducing people to the beautiful simplicity and transformative power of the gospel, the good news about Jesus.
About the host:
Austin Suggs holds a BA in Theology from Moody Bible Institute and is currently pursuing an MA in Liberal Arts with a focus in Theology and Philosophy from St. John's College, Annapolis. He has served in the local church in a number of ways, including as a full-time staff member,, teacher, church planter, and more. Today, he resides outside of Baltimore with his wife Eliza.
