As one of the most outstanding Christian thinkers in history, John
Henry Newman continues to influence theology, especially Catholic
theology, long after his death in 1890. Yet, his writings on faith,
particularly The Grammar of Assent, are difficult to read without
guidance and direction. John Henry Newman: A View of Catholic Faith
for the New Millennium provides both a comprehensive introduction to
Newman's theology and a thorough analysis of its relevance for the
Church today. The first systematic analysis of Newman's thought, this
book skillfully weaves together the Cardinal's diverse writings on
faith with seminal secondary sources and presents an integrated view
of his mature notion of Catholic faith. Enhanced by a detailed
introduction, biographical sketch, and bibliography, this book
explores John Henry Newman's teaching on the relationship between
faith and doubt, the role of the will in certitude, the relationship
between faith and reason, the personal nature of faith, the function
of the magisterium, the importance of dialogue, and the role of the
conscience in decision-making. The concluding chapter examines the
significance of Newman's thought for Catholic theology today.
