The Relevance of Newman in a Post-Christian World (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781527563049)

What has Newman to say today, not just to Christians, but to those shapers of public opinion in education and the media for whom Christianity is no longer a point of reference, or to those for whom all religion is merely a matter of personal and subjective â oeopinion⠝? This is the central question of this volume. As it shows, Newman challenges us to think in an integrated way, â oeconnecting⠝ different areas of thought and experience. He invites us to reflect on the nature of the human â oeperson⠝ and the â oeself⠝, on the nature of conscience and its role in contemporary political life, and on the relationship between the individual and the community. The contributions here show that Newman challenges us to examine the relationships between different academic disciplines in the quest for a â oeconnected view or grasp⠝ of things. He invites us to see faith as not just a question of â oebelieving⠝, but also as a quest for a personal, living relationship. His thought throws fresh light on the nature of inter-religious dialogue and contemporary evangelism.
