Abstract

TRADITION IS NOT USUALLY ASSOCIATED with risk. However, as one gets into the business of defining what tradition is, theologically speaking, complex tensions come to light. Take the following statement by Yves Congar: “Tradition, then, comprises two equally vital aspects: one of development and one of conservation.”1 Post-Newman, it is uncontroversial to assume that tradition possesses an element of development. But how much development? What kind of development? What kind of conservation? How are development and conservation related? The risk inherent in the interplay of development and conservation is not only that there could be “too much” of one or the other; it is also that their relationship may be misconstrued altogether.
