This notion plays a key role in his solution to the problem: \u003ci\u003ewhy do some people accept the Christian message, while others do not?\u003c\/i\u003e A survey of Newman's works shows that this notion covers four different types of principles. The thesis offers a fundamental theological analysis of the chain of first principles, which - according to Newman - are required for faith in God and in Christ. It also indicates that Newman's theory can only be fruitful in a theistic environment.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rik Achten\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3631491905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783631491904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Gmbh, Internationaler Verlag Der W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/1995\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 310\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Rik Achten","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447567986943,"sku":"9783631491904","price":88.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c3b292cb-02cc-438e-9ada-48bca2e228e8.jpg?v=1777233554","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/first-principles-and-our-way-rik-achten-9783631491904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
