If God in fact exists, then only real assent to the proposition asserting his existence is adequate. Notional assent is inadequate because it is assent to a notion or abstraction, and not to a present reality. But on Newman's view it is notional assent which normally follows on a formal inference, therefore the significance of traditional formal arguments is thrown into question. Newman has claimed that our attitude toward a proposition may be one of three; we may doubt it, infer it, or assent to it, and to assent to it is to hold it unconditionally.

  • The Wesleyan Enlightenment
    The Wesleyan Enlightenment: Closing the gap between heart religion and reason in Eighteenth Century England by Timothy Wayne Holgerson B.M.E., Oral Roberts University, 1984 M.M.E., Wichita State University, 1986 M.A., Asbury Theological Seminary, 1999 M.A., Kansas State University, 2011 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2017 Abstract John Wesley (1703-1791) was an Anglican priest who became the leader of Wesleyan Methodism, a renewal movement within the Church of England that began in the late 1730s. Although Wesley was not isolated from his enlightened age, historians of the Enlightenment and theologians of John Wesley have only recently begun to consider Wesley in the historical context of the Enlightenment. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to provide a comprehensive understanding of the complex relationship between a man, John Wesley, and an intellectual movement, the Enlightenment. As a comparative history, this study will analyze the juxtaposition of two historiographies, Wesley studies and Enlightenment studies. Surprisingly, Wesley scholars did not study John Wesley as an important theologian until the mid-1960s. Moreover, because social historians in the 1970s began to explore the unique ways people experienced the Enlightenment in different local, regional and national contexts, the plausibility of an English Enlightenment emerged for the first time in the early 1980s. As a result, in the late 1980s, scholars began to integrate the study of John Wesley and the Enlightenment. In other words, historians and theologians began to consider Wesley as a serious thinker in the context of an English Enlightenment that was not hostile to Christianity.

  • Saint John Henry Newman, Development of Doctrine, and Sensus Fidelium: His Enduring Legacy in Roman Catholic Theological Discourse
    Journal of Moral Theology, Vol. 10, No. 2 (2021): 60–89 Saint John Henry Newman, Development of Doctrine, and Sensus Fidelium: His Enduring Legacy in Roman Catholic Theological Discourse Kenneth Parker The whole Church, laity and hierarchy together, bears responsi- bility for and mediates in history the revelation which is contained in the holy Scriptures and in the living apostolic Tradition … [A]ll believers [play a vital role] in the articulation and development of the faith …. “Sensus fidei in the life of the Church,” 3.1, 67 International Theological Commission of the Catholic Church Rome, July 2014 N 2014, THE INTERNATIONAL THEOLOGICAL Commission pub- lished “Sensus fidei in the life of the Church,” which highlighted two critically important theological concepts: development and I sensus fidelium. Drawing inspiration directly from the works of John Henry Newman, this document not only affirmed the insights found in his Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine (1845), which church authorities embraced during the first decade of New- man’s life as a Catholic, but also his provocative Rambler article, “On Consulting the Faithful in Matters of Doctrine” (1859), which resulted in episcopal accusations of heresy and Newman’s delation to Rome. The tension between Newman’s theory of development and his appeal for the hierarchy to consider the experience of the “faithful” ultimately centers on the “seat” of authority, and whose voices matter. As a his- torical theologian, I recognize in the 175 year reception of Newman’s theory of development, the controversial character of this historio- graphical assumption—or “metanarrative”—which privileges the hi- erarchy’s authority to teach, but paradoxically acknowledges the ca- pacity of the “faithful” to receive—and at times reject—propositions presented to them as authoritative truth claims.1 1 Maurice Blondel, in his History and Dogma (1904), emphasized that historians always act on metaphysical assumptions when applying facts to the historical St.

  • Saint Anselm, Blessed John Henry Newman, and the Idea of a Benedictine University
    Saint Anselm, Blessed John Henry Newman, and the Idea of a Benedictine University Fr. Daniel Patrick Moloney, Ph.D. John Henry Newman's "Benedictine Essays" develop a strong thesis that Benedictine spirituality is necessarily at odds with the methods of the modern university. Benedictine spiritual life encourages the monk to mortify his intellect, not to satisfy it or to stir it up. It is best suited to grammar school, to the study of literature and history and Scripture, while rejecting the value of studying worldly topics that don't prepare a person for union with God in the next life. Newman's account makes the project of a Benedictine university like St. Anselm's College seem deeply problematic, even oxymoronic. St. Anselm of Canterbury, a transitional figure on Newman's account, shows some ways of reconciling a speculative intellectual life with Benedictine spirituality, but Newman's challenge to the project still remains. It’s a great honor to be here. When I was invited to give this lecture, that is to give the Saint Anselm Lecture at Saint Anselm College on the Feast of Saint Anselm, I thought I noticed a theme. I’m an expert on Saint Anselm, having written my dissertation on your patron saint and having been studying him since I was a senior in college more than twenty years ago. So I figured that the topic of my talk was going to be Saint Anselm. But then I read the fine print of the invitation, and realized that because this year is the anniversary of the College, that I was being asked to talk not just about Saint Anselm and his continued significance, but about something I didn’t know anything about, namely “distinctively Benedictine Catholic higher education.” I’m sure that’s a topic of some reflection here, at a Benedictine College, but it’s not something I’ve ever thought about.

  • The Spirituality and Theology of William Law (1686-1761)
    Introduction Spirituality is a phenomenon that has touched both the Protestant and Catholic branches1 of Christianity. Spirituality is hard to define accurately,2 but in both Protestant and Catholic circles particular characteristics are common. The characteristics of prayer, meditation, contemplation, mysticism, asceticism, and a drive for perfection accompany all forms of Christian spirituality. Protestant spirituality can be generally categorized into mystical or “meditative”spirituality, and energetic or “missionary” spirituality.3 This essay will inspect eighteenth century English meditative spirituality, as found in the works of the greatest writer of this tradition, William Law (1686-1761).4 In doing so I will first give a brief sketch of William Law‟s life; then, secondly, explain and review his doctrine of the atonement and union with God. I must point out that these two doctrines are ultimate to all forms spirituality because they configure the paradigm for their doctrine of the Christian life; a life of disciplined self sacrifice, which was epitomized by Jesus on the cross, and a life of the here-and-now experience of complete love in oneness with God. The Life of William Law (1686-1761) 1 There are numerous schools of spirituality within Roman Catholicism today. Cistercian, Carmelite, Marian and Jesuit spirituality make up the majority of the Roman Catholic preoccupation with spirituality. 2 Many equate pietism with spirituality, and to some degree this is justified, particularly in Protestantism where the term has been widely used. However, one must keep in mind the difference between “pietism” and “piety”. Pietism in Protestantism is associated with meditative mystical spirituality.

  • 1 Why Newman Is Not Enough: Reflections on the Gospel And
    1 Why Newman Is Not Enough: Reflections on the Gospel and Development The Rev. Dr. William H. Harrison Introduction Since the publication of John Henry Newman’s classic, An Essay on the Development of Doctrine, in the 19th century, the idea that doctrine develops has become a commonplace of Christian theology (though some theologians still deny that it happens). We tend, however, to have an easier time agreeing that it occurs than being clear about what it is. Clarity about the nature of doctrinal development hinges upon the distinction between restatement, revolution, and reappropriation. The question of same- sex marriage is a question of reappropriation, on the heels of some notable revolutions. To distinguish a “true” development from a “false” (in Newman’s language1) we need helpful criteria; in other words, we must answer the question: “Which developments sustain the heart of the Christian message while incorporating new insights of the Christian church, exercising its intelligence and judgement in relation to its heritage and contemporary situation?” The central criteria are found in the liturgical origin and soteriological relationships of particular developments. Same-sex marriages are a valid reappropriation of Christian practice, rooted in liturgical practice and a genetic development of Christian doctrine. They are not a matter of core doctrine, since they are not constitutive of our theology of salvation; they are, however, a reasonable development of Christian understanding of marriage, sustaining its relationship to soteriology. Same-sex marriages can participate in the life of creativity to 1 John Henry Newman, An Essay on the Development of Doctrine, (Harmondsworth: Penguin/Pelican, 1974), passim.

  • Newman and Last Things, Juan Vélez, “The Downside Review”, CXVIIII, No
    Newman and Last Things, Juan Vélez, “The Downside Review”, CXVIIII, no. 414, (2001), 51-68. Newman and Last Things The encyclical letter Faith and Reason renders John H. Newman and other 19th and 20th century theologians a just recognition for their analysis of the interdependence of faith and reason 1. Newman’s University Sermons were his initial exposition on the subject. The essay On the scope of University Education is a continuation of his study which he completed in The Grammar of Assent. In these works, the Oxford don and later Catholic priest explained the intrinsic relationship between faith and reason. He pointed out the limits of reason, emphasized the reasonableness of faith, and described the complex human assent to revealed truths. Through a renewed understanding of moral consciousness he established the epistemological foundations for a new consideration of faith2. In this article we present an overview of Newman's teaching on eschatology that so far has been the object of few monographic studies3.
