The book ""The Notion of Tradition in John Driedo: Dissertatio ad Lauream in Facultate Theologica, Pontificiae Universitatis Gregorianae"" by John L. Murphy is a scholarly work that explores the concept of tradition in the writings of John Driedo, a 16th-century Dutch theologian. The book is based on Murphy's doctoral dissertation, which he completed at the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.The book begins with an introduction that provides an overview of Driedo's life and work, as well as the historical context in which he lived. From there, Murphy delves into Driedo's writings on tradition, examining his views on the relationship between Scripture and tradition, the role of the Church in preserving and interpreting tradition, and the importance of tradition in the development of Christian doctrine.Throughout the book, Murphy engages with Driedo's ideas in a critical and nuanced manner, drawing on a range of primary and secondary sources to provide a comprehensive analysis of his thought. He also situates Driedo's ideas within the broader context of the Reformation and the Catholic Counter-Reformation, highlighting the ways in which Driedo's views on tradition were both influenced by and contributed to these movements.Overall, ""The Notion of Tradition in John Driedo"" is a rigorous and insightful study of an important figure in the history of Christian thought, and will be of interest to scholars and students of theology, history, and philosophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
