| Summary | "The Origin and Development of Christian Dogma" by Charles A. H. Tuthill is a scholarly examination of the evolution of Christian doctrine, written in the late 19th century. The book explores the historical and religious contexts that contributed to the formation of Christian dogmas, particularly in relation to Judaism and Paganism. It aims to uncover the complexities and inconsistencies inherent in Christian theology as it developed over time. The opening of the text sets the stage for an extensive historical inquiry into the roots of Christian dogma, beginning with a discussion on the unique character of Christianity compared to other religions. Tuthill argues that Christian doctrine is marked by contradictions arising from its monotheistic Jewish heritage and the polytheistic influences of surrounding Pagan cultures. He establishes that the historical evolution of Christian beliefs cannot be fully understood without considering the specific conditions that shaped them, particularly the contributions from Judaism during its formative years. Tuthill's analysis presents a framework that traces the interplay of these influences leading to the complexities of Christian doctrine, setting a thorough groundwork for the subsequent chapters.
