M. Katherine Tillman “A Rhetoric in Conduct”: The Gentleman of the University and the Gentleman of the Oratory
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
Newman’s explicit presentation of the ideal type, “the gentleman,” appears first and foremost in his Oratory papers of 1847 and 1848, and appears only secondarily, and then but partially, four and five years later in his Dublin Discourses of 1852 (The Idea of a University). This essay traces lines of similarity and of difference between these successive portraits and distinguishes both from the attractive, better-known sketch Newman presents as Lord Shaftesbury’s, the “beau ideal” of the man of the world.

Patrick J. Fletcher Newman and Natural Theology
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
Although the second and third University Discourses in Newman’s Idea of a University are well known for according theology a place in a university education by showing the relationship of theology to the other sciences, this essay points out that Newman was also arguing against the “natural theology” of British thinkers like William Paley, Lord Brougham, Sir Robert Peel, and Bishop Edward Maltby, who maintained that the study of the natural sciences would necessarily lead to religion; Newman objected that this kind of “natural theology” could easily lead to deism or pantheism.

abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This study depicts Newman’s fourteenth Oxford University Sermon as a creative response to two controversial events in his life: the first involved the Tamworth Reading Room—Newman’s satirical critique of Robert Peel’s view of education and religion; the second concerned his advocacy of the compatibility of Anglican and Roman Catholic doctrines which he articulated in his divisive Tract 90.

Kevin Mongrain The Eyes of Faith: Newman’s Critique of Arguments from Design
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This essay examines the theological and rhetorical concerns animating John Henry Newman’s evaluation of efforts to prove the existence of God and/or the truth of Christianity with philosophical arguments about the design of nature. Newman’s complex position on arguments from design ought to be interpreted in light of his broader theological understanding of the challenges posed to the practice of Christian faith in his nineteenth century context. These challenges required that apologetics first and foremost defend the truth of Christianity as a religion of holiness, not as a religion of reasonableness.

Although the two writers have different approaches and emphases, their notions of reason display striking complementarities, especially in regard to the complex relationship of the reason and the will, converging probabilities, and the operation of reason in relation to faith (informal inference).

James M. Pribek Newman in Twentieth-Century American Literature: Fitzgerald, Lewis, and O’Connor
abstract | view |  rights & permissions
This essay traces Newman’s rich legacy in modern American literature in the writings of three prominent American writers of the last century: F. Scott Fitzgerald, who plays off of Newman’s definition of a gentleman in his The Beautiful and Damned (1922); Sinclair Lewis, who connects the figure of Carlyle Vesper to Newman in Gideon Planish (1943); and Flannery O’Connor, who mentioned Newman in four published letters, and whose artistic vision was shaped appreciably by Newman’s Apologia and his Grammar of Assent.
