The Great Dissent: John Henry Newman and the Liberal Heresy
Pattison, Robert (Professor of Humanities, Professor of Humanities, Long Island University)
This volume argues that Newman's religious philosophy developed as an attempt to salvage truth from the liberal scepticism prevalent in his day. It contends that Newman's strength lies in his theory of belief and his wish for liberal scholarship to reassess the role of belief in human affairs.
