Book Description:

Is truth unchanging? Can it develop over time? To what extent may the Catholic community jettison or modify earlier beliefs? Should it embrace insights from other cultures? Rist argues that dynamism rather than rigidity is essential to avoiding fundamentalism or anarchy, and to promoting the dignity of the human person.
