Is there a sense in which we can say dogma changes or evolves, or is it merely an unfolding of a perfect, eternal truth within the limits of a temporal creation? What is the purpose of the testimony of history? Can its facts be appropriated as an apologetic for the Christian faith? How are we to know of the truths of divine revelation, and how are we to hold them as trustworthy? Such are the questions considered by both Francis Pieper and John Henry Newman. Both address these concerns in their respective writings. Each addresses contemporary issues that he perceives as immediately affecting not only his communion, but the understanding of Christ and the teaching of his apostles and prophets, in a word, the whole validity and role of the faith in the cosmos. In this essay I will compare and contrast Pieper and Newman's view of the development of doctrine, considering the historical context in which they wrote, and elucidating their respective theories.

This movement, guided by the philosophical principle of sublime nature, was modified and disseminated by both European and American painters. Such works reflected a variety of subjects, ranging from contemporary maritime events and political relations to private emotions of individual artists. To understand the fantastic shipwrecks of the 19 th century, an investigation of the genre's origin and style must be undertaken.
