John Henry Newman (1801-1890) had a remarkable influence upon his age. The variety of discourse in his works reflects the many contexts in which he engaged in dialogue, ranging from secular and religious controversies to the speculative realm of philosophical thought. Despite an insular temperament and retiring personality, Newman in fact inspired radical nineteenth-century intellectual inquiry. This collection arises from papers presented during the three-day Newman Centenary Conference at Saint Louis University. In it, the contributors enter a critical dialogue with Newman's writings from the perspectives of literature and history, rhetoric and education, and philosophy and theology to offer a scholarly appraisal of Newman's creativity and genius. The fundamental interaction between discourse and context that pervades Newman's many works provides the thread that weaves this collection together. There are five major divisions in the book. In part 1, the essays on Newman's individuality portray the highly personal and controversial dimensions of his thought. The essays in part 2, on Newman's approach to understanding, reveal a keen sense of the historical nature of practical reason. In part 3, essays on Newman's view of education evaluate his celebration of free inquiry and sensitivity to culture. Newman's insistence upon personal commitment to apprehend historical reality, both secular and religious, spurs the essays in part 4 to assess his religious epistemology and theological method. The essays in part 5 investigate the ways in which the subsequent interpretation of Newman's thought warrants a legitimate diversity that mirrors a variety of historical contexts. The essays contained in this volume reflect the increasing richness of literature on Newman studies while constructively expanding the boundaries of interdisciplinary scholarship. As a result, they provide diverse horizons for engaging Newman's insights through the use of contemporary scholarship. The cluster of issues they discuss portrays the enduring prominence of Newman today.

This book is a systematic study of religious morality in the works of John Henry Newman (1801-1890). The work considers Newman’s widely discussed views on conscience and assent, analyzing his understanding of moral law and its relation to the development of moral doctrine in Church tradition. By integrating Newman’s religious epistemology and theological method, the author explores the hermeneutics of the imagination in moral decision-making: the imagination enables us to interpret complex reality in a practical manner, to relate belief with action. The analysis bridges philosophical and religious discourse, discussing three related categories. The first deals with Newman’s commitment to truth and holiness whereby he connects the realm of doctrine with the realm of salvation. The second category considers theoretical foundations of religious morality, and the third category explores Newman’s hermeneutics of the imagination to clarify his view of moral law, moral conscience, and Church tradition as practical foundations of religious morality. The author explains how secular reason in moral discernment can elicit religious significance. As a result, Church tradition should develop doctrine and foster holiness by being receptive to emerging experiences and cultural change. John Henry Newman was a highly controversial figure and his insightful writings continue to challenge and influence scholarship today. This book is a significant contribution to that scholarship and the analysis and literature comprise a detailed research guide for graduates and scholars.

Jane Rupert shows how Catholic philosopher, theologian, and priest John Henry Newman sheds light on contemporary liberal education and the humanities by distinguishing between the different ways reason functions in science, religion, and in literature. Rupert discusses the range of Newman's thought on several fronts, including intellectual history, theories of knowing, the controversy between science and religion, the defense of the liberal arts and the aims of Catholic education.

John Henry Newman is often described as 'the Father of the Second Vatican Council'. He anticipated in his writings most of the Council's major documents, as well as being an inspiration to the theologians who were behind them. His writings, therefore, offer an illuminating commentary both on the teachings of the Council and the way these have been implemented and interpreted in the post-conciliar period. This book, then, is the first sustained attempt to consider what Newman's reaction to Vatican II would have been.
