Bøker av Mark S. Massa

Drawing inspiration from Thomas Kuhn's classic work The Structure of Scientific Revolutions, Mark Massa argues that Pope Paul VI's encyclical Humanae Vitae caused a paradigm shift in American Catholic thought, one that has had far-reaching repercussions. How can theology-the study of God, whose nature is imagined to be eternal and unchanging- change over time? This is the essential question that The Structure of Theological Revolutionssets out to answer. Massa makes the controversial claim that Roman Catholic teaching on a range of important issues is considerably more provisional and arbitrary than many Catholics think.
