	Jaroslav Pelikan - The John W. Kluge Center (Library of Congress)
		Pelikan taught at Valparaiso University in Indiana and Concordia Theological Seminary from 1949 to 1953, and at the University of Chicago until 1962.
		Pelikan was president of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1994-97), founding chairman for the Council of Scholars at the Library of Congress (1980-83; 1988-94) and chairman of the board of the American Academy of Political and Social Science.
		Pelikan's greatest contribution, "The Christian Tradition: A History and Development of Doctrine," published in five volumes between 1971 and 1989, has surpassed Adolf Harnack's "Dogmengeschichte" (4th edition in 1910) both in breadth and interpretive sensitivity; and, it has produced an incomparable historical account of the emergence and development of Christian doctrine in the English language.

	Books by author: Jaroslav Pelikan (www.gaychurch.org)
		Pelikan, Sterling professor emeritus of history at Yale University and author of a number of respected books in the area of Christian belief and tradition (e.g., Jesus Through the Centuries), presents an outstanding introduction to the development, use and acceptance of the biblical canon over the centuries.
		Pelikan has a take on doctrine that is shared by most scholars and clergy, which is that doctrine developed, and that what the apostles believed was less defined and cloudier than what the later Church believed.
		Pelikan goes in a chronological way, from the biblical tradition and the dogmatic and devotional definitions of the first centuries of the Church to the latest dogmatic definitions in Roman Catholic theology.

	David T. King Meets Jaroslav Pelikan: A Question of Scholarship
		King on Jaroslav Pelikan will prove helpful to my argument; (2) After I was dismissed from the NTRMIN board, David posted a reply to my response regarding Pelikan, worded in such a way as to indicate his anticipation that his reply would be forwarded to me, which it was.
		Pelikan: But to take these traditions and opinions and now elevate them to the status of an official doctrine, binding on the entire church de fide and laying claim to the same authority as the doctrine of the Trinity, seemed to be completely presumptuous and utterly without biblical warrant.
		Pelikan: Considerations like these [referring to his previous comments] have made the dogma of the assumption of the Virgin perhaps the most provocative illustration of the position of Mariology in its entirety as the most controversial case study of the problems raised by “development of doctrine” as a historical phenomenon and as an ecumenical issue.

	Jaroslav Pelikan - Whose Bible Is It? - The Journey with Jesus
		Reading any book by Jaroslav Pelikan is a rare privilege and pleasure, not to mention an occasion for envy and humility by lesser mortals who fancy themselves as scholars.
		As documents embedded in human history, Pelikan reviews how these Scriptures were first written, then transmitted, formed into a single rule or canon in a way that excluded other noteworthy candidates, translated into other languages, hand-copied and then commercially-printed, and variously and often divergently interpreted.
		Pelikan clearly loves "the Good Book" that he has studied so assiduously for sixty-plus years (both his grandfather and father were Lutheran pastors), and he always has one eye on the ordinary believer in the local church or synagogue.

		A newly-arrived graduate student (Fall 1975) intending to specialize in Renaissance Humanism attended a course of Pelikan’s lectures: she was someone who had religious interested herself, and seemed to have wandered from Catholicism to Protestantism and back again (but if she was deeply religious or deeply committed theologically it was far from evident to others).
		Having occasion to speak with Pelikan — a man who seemed to graduate students in general, however inaccurately, to be remote and unapproachable — she told him that she had gathered from his lectures that he had “theological commitments” and asked him of what church he was a member.

	Imago Dei : The Byzantine Apologia for Icons by Jaroslav Pelikan - 0691099707
		Iconoclasm was defeated--by Byzantine politics, by popular revolts, by monastic piety, and, most fundamentally of all, by theology, just as it had been theology that the opponents of images had used to justify their actions.
		Analyzing an intriguing chapter in the history of ideas, the renowned scholar Jaroslav Pelikan shows how a faith that began by attacking the worship of images ended first in permitting and then in commanding it.
		Pelikan charts the theological defense of icons during the Iconoclastic controversies of the eighth and ninth centuries, whose high point came in A.D. 787, when the Second Council of Nicaea restored the cult of images in the church.

		Continuous addition of historical and prophetic texts, the growth of rabbinic commentaries, and the translation of the text into Greek made construing scripture a complex task even before adherents to a new scriptural faith reinterpreted the entire Hebrew Bible as an Old Testament important chiefly for prophecies fulfilled in a radical New Testament.
		The writing of this Christian New Testament itself sparked controversies among divergent branches of Christianity, but it is the endless battles between Jews and Christians that Pelikan takes as his primary focus.
		Hoping the twenty-first century brings something better, Pelikan concludes with an appeal for an interfaith understanding of the Bible that will sweep away centuries of antipathy.
