Newman and Faith (Paperback)

The life and work of John Henry Newman were dominated by questions about the nature of Christian faith and the way in which it comes to expression in history. This newest LTPM volume, consisting of papers delivered at the 2001 Oxford International Newman Conference, examines the theological, philosophical, historical, literary, and spiritual dimensions of Newman's understanding of faith and considers how his thought relates to contemporary concerns.

In "Newman and Faith eight leading scholars discuss such significant themes as the relationship between faith and reason, Newman and postmodernity, the rights and limitations of conscience, the place of doctrine in Christian life, the believer in the church, and the autobiographical significance of Newman's treatment of faith in his novels. Read together with its predecessor, "Newman and the Word, this volume provides a full-orbed perspective on the relevance of John Henry Newman for today.
