Phases Of Faith - Francis William Newman - Bog

""Phases of Faith"" is a book written by Francis William Newman, a British scholar and theologian, and brother of the famous Victorian author, John Henry Newman. The book is an exploration of the different stages of religious belief and faith, as experienced by individuals throughout history. Newman argues that faith is not a static or monolithic concept, but rather a dynamic and evolving process that can take on many different forms and expressions. He examines various religious traditions, including Christianity, Judaism, Islam, and Hinduism, and explores the ways in which different individuals and communities have approached questions of faith and belief throughout history. The book is a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of the complexities of religious belief, and offers insights into the ways in which faith can shape and transform human experience.I reckon my fifth period to begin from the time when I had totally abandoned the claim of ""the Canon"" of Scripture, however curtailed, to be received as the object of faith, as free from error, or as something raised above moral criticism; and looked out for some deeper foundation for my creed than any sacred Letter. But an entirely new inquiry had begun to engage me at intervals, viz., the essential logic of these investigations. Ought we in any case to receive moral truth in obedience to an apparent miracle of sense?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
