Vol. 2, Issue 1, Spring 2005 EDITORIAL PREFACE "John Henry Newman belongs to every time and place and people." ARTICLES Newman and the
Hierarchy This article, which was originally the keynote presentation on August 12, 2004, at the annual conference of the Venerable John Henry Newman Association at Mundelein, Illinois, traces the stages of Newman’s view of the hierarchy from the time of his involvement in the Oxford Movement to his post-conciliar reflections about the teaching of the First Vatican Council. Newman’s theology of the hierarchy, which cannot be understood apart from the controversies which engaged him, is, from a present-day perspective, both “stimulating and problematic.” Avery Cardinal Dulles, S.J., the first American theologian to be named to the College of Cardinals, is Professor Emeritus of Theology at The Catholic University of America and currently Laurence J. McGinley Professor of Religion and Society at Fordham University in New York.
John Henry Newman among the
Postmoderns This article, which was originally presented at the annual conference of the Venerable John Henry Newman Association in Mundelein, IL in August 2004, portrays Newman as anticipating three aspects of postmodernism: the question of epistemological foundations, the role of theology in the academy, and a conversational model of truth. Robert Barron is Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of St. Mary of the Lake-Mundelein Seminary, the theological seminary for the Archdiocese of Chicago.
A Better Country:
Newman's Idea of Public Life Although Newman is often considered a philosopher and theologian, a litterateur and historian, this article shows that his interest in the public affairs of his day and his political views, which were under-girded by his religious convictions, are found in his letters and diaries, in his essays, and even in his sermons. Edward Short is an independent writer working on a book about John Henry Newman and his contemporaries.
Newman in France
during the Modernist Period: Pierre Batiffol and Marcel Hébert Although Newman felt that the conferral of the cardinalate lifted the cloud of suspicion forever, soon after his death his reputation came under another cloud: Modernism. This essay shows how Modernist concerns about the philosophical grounding of faith, Biblical interpretation, and the nature of dogmatic statements as presented by Pierre Batiffol and Marcel Hébert counter-pointed Newman’s idea of the development of doctrine. Rev. C. J. T. Talar is a professor at the University of St. Thomas School of Theology at St. Mary’s Seminary and Center for Pastoral Studies, Houston, TX.
"My Dear Miss
Giberne": Newman's Correspondence with a Friend: 1826-1840 During the course of his long life, John Henry Newman made many friends—among them people to whom he was extremely devoted for decades. Maria Rosina Giberne was a family friend, whose friendship with Newman continued for over half a century. The present article looks at the development of this friendship as revealed in Newman’s correspondence for a decade and a half Rosario Athié, Professor of the Philosophy of Education at the Universidad Panamericana (Guadalajara, Mexico) and a member of the Sistema Nacional de Investigadores, worked on this essay in 2004, while a resident scholar at the National Institute for Newman Studies at Pittsburgh.
