Description: 'Tierney's handling of the canonical and theological sources is commendable.'
Joseph A. La Barge, Journal of the American Academy of Religions, 1974.
'It is the thesis of this book that papal infallibility is basically a medieval creation...Professor Tierney's treatment of the twelfth-century canonists and the Franciscan theologians of the following century is admirable, almost impeccable...an important contribution to historical theology.'
Journal of Ecumenical Studies.
