This book is a systematic study of religious morality in the works
of John Henry Newman (1801-1890). The work considers Newman's
widely discussed views on conscience and assent, analyzing his
understanding of moral law and its relation to the development of
moral doctrine in Church tradition. By integrating Newman's
religious epistemology and theological method, the author explores
the hermeneutics of the imagination in moral decision-making: the
imagination enables us to interpret complex reality in a practical
manner, to relate belief with action. The analysis bridges
philosophical and religious discourse, discussing three related
categories. The first deals with Newman's commitment to truth and
holiness whereby he connects the realm of doctrine with the realm
of salvation. The second category considers theoretical foundations
of religious morality, and the third category explores Newman's
hermeneutics of the imagination to clarify his view of moral law,
moral conscience, and Church tradition as practical foundations of
religious morality. The author explains how secular reason in moral
discernment can elicit religious significance. As a result, Church
tradition should develop doctrine and foster holiness by being
receptive to emerging experiences and cultural change. John Henry
Newman was a highly controversial figure and his insightful
writings continue to challenge and influence scholarship today.
This book is a significant contribution to that scholarship and the
analysis and literature comprise a detailed research guide for
graduates and scholars.
