"The Comforter who has come instead of Christ, must have vouchsafed to come in the same sense in which Christ came; I mean, that He has come, not merely in the way of gifts, or of influences, or of operations, as He came to the Prophets, for then Christ's going away would be a loss, and not a gain, and the Spirit's presence would be a mere pledge, not an earnest; but He comes to us as Christ came, by a real and personal visitation."

Okay, put on your theological thinking caps, because in this podcast episode of The Patrick Madrid Show, you'll get a great answer to a BIG question: How do we know Jesus founded the Catholic Church and not some other Christian group? Patrick brings the receipts, the analogies, and yes… the flat earth references. The Question That Sparked It All A listener named Timothy emails Patrick this question: “Hey Patrick, aren’t you being a little harsh? You call out Protestants for coming down on Catholics, but then don’t you come down just as hard on non-Catholics? Aren’t both sides just passionate about what they believe?” Timothy’s tone is respectful. And Patrick loves it. He takes it seriously. He gives a full, no-punches-pulled response: rooted in reason, history, and good old-fashioned Catholic confidence. The Flat Earth Analogy Patrick compares Protestantism to… flat earth theory. Not because Protestants are dumb (he’s clear about that; they’re very sincere, smart, and well-meaning), but because: You can be sincere… and still be sincerely wrong. He argues that Protestant theology, like flat earth theory, is demonstrably false. It just doesn’t hold up when you look at Scripture, history, and the writings of the early Church Fathers. Just as science clearly disproves a flat earth, Church history disproves that Protestantism was ever the original Christianity. So, What Does the Bible Say? Patrick points out that Protestantism often relies on concepts like: Sola Scriptura ("Bible alone") Once Saved, Always Saved …which aren’t in the Bible... and in some cases are even contradicted by the Bible. He brings up passages like: 2 Thessalonians 2:15: Hold fast to the traditions, oral and written. 1 Corinthians 11: Keep the traditions as I delivered them. These support Catholic teachings about Scripture and Tradition. Patrick says that trusting only personal Bible interpretation turns the faith into a theological Rubik’s Cube: everyone has their own twist on it. That’s just not how Jesus set it up. Early Christians Weren’t Protestant, They Were... Catholic He brings up St. John Henry Newman, the Anglican scholar who tried to disprove Catholicism… and ended up converting because the evidence was so overwhelming. The early Church: Believed in the Real Presence in the Eucharist Celebrated the Mass as a sacrifice Had sacraments, priests, apostolic authority Baptized babies Defended Trinitarian doctrine against heresies And all this was happening centuries before the Reformation. Protestantism, Patrick argues, is a latecomer: a break from the historical Church, not a return to it. The Church is Noah’s Ark Patrick closes with a beautiful, personal touch: The Catholic Church is the Ark Jesus built to carry us through the flood of confusion, division, and error. He didn’t leave us a Rubik’s Cube Bible to figure out solo. He left us a Church: one, holy, catholic, and apostolic. That’s why Patrick is confident, not just passionate. He's not trying to win arguments. He’s trying to show that there’s an unbroken, visible, historical Church founded by Christ, and it’s Catholic.

Summary: In this conversation, Michael interviews Dr. Chris Castaldo, pastor at New Covenant Church in Naperville, Illinois, about his book Why Do Protestants Convert?. Both men share their personal journeys from Roman Catholicism to Protestant Christianity. They delve into the emotional and theological challenges of converting, especially within deeply rooted Catholic families. The conversation centers around the reasons people convert—psychological, theological, and sociological—and discusses the influential figure John Henry Newman, a 19th-century Anglican-turned-Catholic who emphasized sacramentalism and church tradition over personal interpretation.  Dr. Castaldo reflects on the problematic yet often romanticized notion that individual believers can interpret Scripture without broader historical or theological grounding. Michael and Chris examine how conversion decisions are often influenced by a longing for deeper liturgy, structure, or historical continuity—elements people feel are missing in certain evangelical contexts. They also critique the idea that the Catholic Church alone has interpretive authority over Scripture, arguing instead for the clarity and sufficiency of God's Word for all believers. With grace and candor, they discuss how to lovingly approach conversations with Catholic friends and family, encouraging a posture of understanding, truth, and patient dialogue. Takeaways: Conversion is emotionally complex. Balancing church authority and personal reading of Scripture is a core tension. The search for spiritual father figures often drives people toward structured traditions. The Christian life, especially amid change, must be anchored in grace. Cultural shifts drive spiritual searching. Rituals like the Lord's Supper require reverent understanding, not routine. LINKS MENTIONED: Why Do Protestants Convert?

Friends, on this Fourth Sunday of Easter, we have this marvelous, short but very punchy reading from the Gospel of John: Jesus referring to himself as the good shepherd. This is a remarkably apt metaphor for how God reaches out to us—knows us personally—and how we are able to discern and follow his voice. But how do we hear the voice of the shepherd? In a lot of ways—but I wonder if the clearest way isn't through the conscience, which John Henry Newman called the aboriginal Vicar of Christ in the soul.

Lauren Spohn joins me on the show to talk about her journey to Catholicism (via Oxford) and the craft of filmmaking.

Lucas Koach came to faith as a teenager through Young Life, and pursued a call to ministry, entering Denver Seminary. That trajectory eventually led him to the Anglican Church of North America, where he served as an ordained priest for several years. Drawn by Catholic Social Teaching, a desire for Christian unity, and the thought of St. John Henry Newman, Lucas eventually became convicted of the truth and beauty of the Catholic Faith and made the journey home.

TESTO DELL'ARTICOLO ➜ https://www.bastabugie.it/8100LO SVILUPPO DELLA DOTTRINA CATTOLICA SECONDO NEWMAN di Cristina Siccardi La figura di san John Henry Newman (1801-1890) spicca sullo sfondo della pesante e drammatica crisi in cui versa la fede da sessant'anni a questa parte, tanto da far pronunciare a Paolo VI (1897-1978) - un Papa che volle a tutti i costi modernizzare-mondanizzare la Chiesa per andare incontro ai "lontani" a scapito della tradizione - quella fatidica e realistica frase pronunciata durante l'omelia per la festa dei santi Pietro e Paolo, nel 1972: «Da qualche fessura il fumo di Satana è entrato nel tempio di Dio... Si credeva che dopo il Concilio sarebbe venuta una giornata di sole per la storia della Chiesa. È venuta invece una giornata di nuvole, di tempesta, di buio».Dopo un estenuante percorso, anzi, una dura lotta di carattere sia intellettuale che spirituale, approdò alla Chiesa cattolica il 9 ottobre 1845. Tutto ebbe inizio studiando i Padri della Chiesa e in particolare quelli che difesero l'integrità della fede ai tempi dell'Arianesimo (IV secolo), pronti a presidiare dogmi e dottrina contro le eresie. Proprio grazie a loro il futuro cardinale vide finalmente chiaro, come descrisse sé stesso in quel capolavoro che è la sua autobiografia, Apologia pro vita sua: «Vidi il mio volto in quello specchio: era il volto di un monofisita», il volto di un eretico anglicano e lo «scopersi quasi con terrore».Profondamente preoccupato dal relativismo che aveva già minato il senso religioso degli inglesi, Newman combatté, sinceramente e lealmente, il liberalismo, tracciando, con metodo sistematico e analitico, uno dei profili più reali dell'Europa del XIX secolo in fase di corruzione, di abbandono della civiltà cristiana, di incalzante apostasia. Dal ponte della propria nave riuscì a identificare i connotati secolarizzanti e relativistici anche dei nostri giorni, richiamando il valore della sana tradizione in campo religioso, che non è immobilismo, bensì quella linea costituita dai principi della Rivelazione (da Gesù Cristo fino a san Giovanni evangelista con l'Apocalisse) e dunque dei principi eterni, che vengono declinati nella storia attraverso impreziosimenti e riforme (si pensi alle molteplici riforme di san Pio X).Sul cardinale Newman, beatificato da Benedetto XVI nel 2010 e canonizzato da papa Francesco nel 2019, è uscito un interessante libro di padre Hermann Geissler, membro e formatore della Famiglia spirituale L'Opera (comunità di vita consacrata), direttore del Centro internazionale degli amici di Newman a Roma e docente di teologia in Italia e in Austria, dal titolo John Henry Newman. Un nuovo dottore della Chiesa? (Cantagalli).LA TRAPPOLA MORTALE DELL'ETÀ CONTEMPORANEALeggendo l'agevole testo di padre Geissler, ci si avvede che il pensiero di Newman si dipana in maniera logica e lineare, con perfetta onestà intellettuale, avendo come unico obiettivo quello di giungere alla Verità portata da Gesù Cristo e trasmessa agli Apostoli e dagli Apostoli ai Padri della Chiesa e via di seguito nel tracciato della Chiesa fondata da Gesù Cristo, con i suoi dottori e santi, poi, facendo risaltare gli inganni delle teorie erronee, giunse a individuare nel liberalismo e, dunque, nel relativismo, dove ogni opinione differente, anche in materia di religione, ha lo stesso valore di tutte le altre, la «trappola mortale» dell'età contemporanea.Di particolare rilievo e profondità risulta il capitolo inerente il saggio che Newman elaborò alla fine del 1844, alle porte della sua decisione definitiva di entrare nell'unico ovile, Lo sviluppo della dottrina cattolica, tema sul quale l'autore si soffermò molto, ma non con occhio liberale (come qualcuno potrebbe supporre con metro di giudizio soggettivo e relativista), lungi da lui, che fu paladino della coerenza della Chiesa attraverso la sua connaturata tradizione, bensì con occhio oggettivo. Domanda padre Hermann: «Perché intraprese questo studio? Allora aveva già compreso, da una parte, di non poter più rimanere nella Chiesa d'Inghilterra, ritenendo che questa, costituendo una Chiesa nazionale, non era realmente cattolica. D'altra parte, non era ancora in grado di associarsi alla Chiesa romano-cattolica, le cui dottrine sviluppatesi col tempo aveva rigettato per lungo tempo come non apostoliche. Molte domande lo assillarono: come valutare le "innovazioni" cattoliche, come, ad esempio, il culto mariano, la venerazione degli angeli e dei santi, la preghiera per i defunti, la dottrina circa il papato? Si chiese: queste dottrine e pratiche sono sintomi di infedeltà e di corruzione nei confronti della fede originaria? Sono aggiunte arbitrarie fatte per motivi puramente umani? O sono forse espressioni di uno sviluppo organico del deposito della fede, affidato alla Chiesa da Gesù Cristo e dai suoi apostoli? Un forte bisogno di coscienza spinse Newman nel chiarire tali questioni al fine di trovare luce per il proprio cammino» (pp. 42-43).Ricerca appassionata, preghiera, riflessione intensa e un ritmo di vita profondamente monastica insieme ad alcuni amici nel College di Littlemore, lontano dal mondo universitario di Oxford che lo aveva estromesso e lontano da tutte quelle voci che dal mondo anglicano lo additavano già come traditore, egli era rimasto solo, solo davanti a Dio con la sua coscienza che ormai, però, si era formata alla scuola dei Padri della Chiesa e nelle chiese che aveva non solo visitato, ma vissuto in Italia con i suoi apparati iconografici e liturgici.LA LUCE GENTILELo sviluppo della dottrina cristiana fu il libro che lo condusse alla decisione ultima, ovvero abbracciare con slancio e amore, illuminato dalla «Luce gentile», la Chiesa cattolica, «ed è impossibile distaccarlo dalle circostanze in cui è nato, in quanto il saggio è lo studio di un anglicano che argomenta le ragioni per cui non può più continuare ad esserlo» (p. 44). Ecco perché Newman è provvidenziale per il nostro tempo, perché individua e chiarisce in maniera magistrale gli errori dai quali vuole liberarsi e per farlo offre sette criteri di discernimento per comprendere quali sono le differenze fra sviluppi veri-buoni e corruzioni-deformazioni.1. PERMANENZA DEL TIPOL'organismo Chiesa di esprime in diverse forme, ma la sua fisionomia generale permane, proprio come accade all'organismo umano: bambino, adolescente, adulto, anziano, ma è sempre lo stesso essere umano. Secondo Newman gli sviluppi genuini, a differenza di quelli falsi, si caratterizzano dal fatto che con essi il «tipo» Chiesa, con il suo carattere soprannaturale, cattolico e romano, rimane conservato.2. LA CONTINUITÀ DEI PRINCIPIIl «tipo» riguarda la fisionomia esteriore dell'organismo ecclesiastico, mentre i principi formano la sua vita e la sua dottrina dal di dentro, «se le dottrine sono avulse dai principi soggiacenti, possono essere interpretate in diverse maniere e condurre a conclusioni contrastanti. La continuità dei principi è quindi fondamentale» (p. 52). Newman individua quattro principi immutabili ed eterni: principio del dogma, principio della fede, principio della teologia (le verità accolte nella fede devono essere scrutate e approfondite dalla ragione), il principio sacramentale (vi sono segni visibili che esprimono e comunicano un dono invisibile e divino). Afferma Newman: «Mentre lo sviluppo della dottrina nella Chiesa è avvenuto in conformità ai principi immemorabili da cui tale dottrina discende, le varie eresie che sono nate in tempi diversi hanno in un modo o in un altro [...] violato questi principi [...]» (ibidem).3. IL POTERE DI ASSIMILAZIONEA causa del principio dogmatico il cristianesimo ha potuto incorporare nella sua dottrina vari ragionamenti teologici, pensieri filosofici ed espressioni linguistiche, respingendo però gli aspetti erronei e ciò, dichiara Newman, è avvenuto in complessi processi storici di scontro, di purificazione, di chiarificazione e di incorporazione.4. LA COERENZA LOGICALa Chiesa, nel corso della sua esistenza ha sempre operato e fatto le sue scelte dottrinali con la ragione e mai istintivamente o per emozioni, si pensi, per esempio, alla correlazione logica fra sacramento del battesimo, disciplina della penitenza e dottrina del Purgatorio.5. ANTICIPAZIONE DEL FUTUROLe diverse dottrine formano un corpo unitario e sono connesse fra loro in maniera coerente, perché si legano sempre e comunque alla forma originaria. Newman esemplifica questa affermazione attraverso l'anticipazione della dottrina della resurrezione dei morti: i cristiani hanno sempre trattato con rispetto, fin dall'inizio, i corpi dei defunti e la santità delle reliquie dei martiri in quanto tutto ciò nasce dalla glorificazione del corpo di Cristo nel mistero di Dio, che ha anticipato la resurrezione di coloro che saranno glorificati in Dio alla fine dei tempi.6. AZIONE CONSERVATRICE DEL SUO PASSATOSpiega padre Geissler: «Uno sviluppo è autentico quando conserva e tutela gli sviluppi precedenti. Se uno sviluppo contraddice l'idea centrale o le definizioni dogmatiche anteriori è una corruzione [...] le Comunità cristiane che venerano la santa Vergine continuano ad adorare Gesù Cristo, quelle invece che rifiutano tale devozione non di rado tendono ad abbandonare anche il culto del Signore» (p. 56).7. IL VIGORE PERENNETale criterio di discernimento è la cartina di tornasole: una corruzione è temporanea, inizia e finisce dopo un tot di tempo; ma se perdura conduce a un processo di decadenza e di disintegrazione; uno sviluppo fedele invece si distingue per la sua forza vitale che perdura, perciò  si spiega come la Chiesa ha «prevalso con la sua dottrina malgrado tanti

"The philosopher aspires towards a divine principle; the Christian, towards a Divine Agent." St. John Henry Newman's Oxford Sermons, delivered during his time as an Anglican preacher at the University of Oxford, were isntrumental in shaping the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive High Church traditions within the Church of England and ultimately led to many conversions to Catholicism. In addition to the profound influence these sermons had on both Anglican and Catholic theology, they also bore a personal significance for Newman's own conversion to Catholicism years later. These fifteen sermons, though deeply interconnected in theme and insight, are not sequential in nature; rather, each stands on its own as a distinct and self-contained reflection on faith and reason. Newman lays the groundwork for themes developed in later works, such as Grammar of Assent and Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. In this second sermon, Newman illustrates how the foundational awareness of God's existence ascertained by natural religion (human reason and observation of the world) is perfected and deepened by the personal knowledge of God offered by revealed religion (divine revelation, especially in the person of Christ).

Thursday 20th February: John Henry Newman by St Martin's Voices

"The philosopher might speculate, but the theologian must submit to learn." St. John Henry Newman's Oxford Sermons, delivered during his time as an Anglican preacher at the University of Oxford, were instrumental in shaping the Oxford Movement, which sought to revive High Church traditions within the Church of England. In this collection of fifteen sermons, Newman especially explores the relationship between faith and reason, and lays the groundwork for themes he would later develop in works like his Grammar of Assent and Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine. In addition to the profound influence these sermons had on both Anglican and Catholic theology, they also bore a personal significance for Newman's own conversion to Catholicism years later. In this first sermon, Newman argues that it was Christianity which first promoted a properly philosophical disposition, by encouraging a mindset and instilling the virtues essential for a truly scientific approach to the pursuit of truth.

This episode is the third in a series on Vatican I and the dogma of Papal infallibility. In this part, I discuss John Henry Newman's development hypothesis.

All the first universities were—St. Thomas Aquinas would tell us—Catholic ones. But in this modern day, it takes intentionality to maintain the rich tradition of Catholic education. In a talk recorded for HeightsCast, Dr. Peter Kilpatrick, president of The Catholic University of America, spoke to families at The Heights about what it means to be a Catholic university. He first consults the experts: Thomas Aquinas, John Henry Newman, John Paul the Great, and Pope Benedict XVI. He then offers examples from his own career in school leadership, and how to put the exhortations of popes and saints into action on campus.

12/10/24 - Matthew Wiseman, Ph.D. (University of St. Andrews), is a teacher and an independent scholar living in San Antonio with his wife and three children. His research and writing focus on Biblical Poetry, St. John Henry Newman, Scripture, and the Development of Doctrine. The Two Jerusalems is the story of a young man's amazing journey to discover the roots of the Christian faith in the Ancient Near East, that led him from Protestantism through the Messianic Movement and into the Catholic Church. This journey took him to the rainforest of New Guinea, the Old Synagogue in Warsaw, the Judean Desert, and into the heart of Ancient and Medieval Jewish tradition: the Hebrew Bible. Along the way he meets a cast of odd and wonderful characters, false prophets, and saintly Catholics who teach him about God, Scripture, and Prayer. His steps are dogged throughout by God's strange, providential provisions, despite his human blindness.

We live in an age where treasures are frequently rediscovered and brought back into the light for further examination and appreciation. Such is the work of Ida Friederike Görres's John Henry Newman: A Life Sacrificed which gives us a compelling and detailed introduction to the life and personage of Saint John Henry Newman. This work is perfect for those who are unfamiliar with John Henry Newman and for those who are avid Newman devotees and wish to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of this modern-day saint. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin talks with Jennifer Bryson about her translation of Ida Friederike Görres's John Henry Newman. This wide-ranging and engaging conversation touches not only on Jennifer's own conversion from Marxism to Christianity but also on the importance of rediscovering Ida Görres and what insights this work can offer into the life of John Henry Newman.

In this video, I'm joined by once again by Dr. Barnabas Aspray, a man who has quickly become one of my favorite Catholic thinkers and a dear friend. Barney has a knack both for asking penetrating questions and giving thoughtful answers that go beyond polemics. In this special in-person episode, we talk extensively St. John Henry Newman's theory of doctrinal development, my concerns about infallibility, sola scriptura, and whether Protestant ecclesiology works. Check out Barney's podcast: http://faithatthefrontiers.com/Barney's conversion story: https://amzn.to/3YybxKqSupport the channel:Patreon: https://patreon.com/gospelsimplicityPayPal: https://paypal.me/gospelsimplicity

CULTIVATING SAINTS, SAGES, AND STATESMEN THROUGH THE GREAT TRADITIONThis is the first episode in our new series, "The Foolishness of God: The End Times." The term "foolishness of God" comes from St. Paul, who said "the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men" (1 Cor. 1:25). He was speaking about the Passion of Our Lord, which the Church teaches is a type of the end times Passion of the Church (see the Catholic Catechism, paragraphs 675-77).In this first introductory installment, we'll discuss the Antichrist Agenda as outlined by the famous 19th century protestant convert, St. John Henry Newman, and how most Christians have already accepted many parts of it.Support Eternal Christendom: https://eternalchristendom.com/become-a-patron/Connect with Joshua on social mediaX: https://twitter.com/JoshuaTCharlesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/joshuatcharles/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshuatcharles/EPISODE CHAPTERS00:00 - Intro01:34 - The End Times Passion of the Church05:55 - St. John Henry Newman on the Antichrist Agenda15:22 - ConclusionListen on Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/eternal-christendom-podcast/id1725000526Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3HoTTco6oJtApc21ggVevuOutro Music: “A Place in Heaven” by Thomas BergersenLicense Code: 9OTZEL9EAVMBUDMY

"In proportion as we lean to our own understanding, we are driven to do so for want of a better guide. Our first true guide, the light of innocence, is gradually withdrawn from us; and nothing is left for us but to 'grope and stumble in the desolate places,' by the dim, uncertain light of reason." This sermon appears among a collection of sermons originally written and preached by St. John Henry Newman between 1825 and 1843, before his conversion to Catholicism. In it, Newman warns against the dangers of intellectual pride and underscores that the path to true wisdom lies in humble submission to God's commandments, not in self-reliant reasoning.

What does it means to do history rather than just read history? Bo comes up with a t-shirt pithy aphorism, Bud double and triple checks whether it makes any sense, and we are off to the races talking about history, eye witness accounts, means of communication in terms of how we understand past events, and yes...John Henry Newman on the illative sense. Who knew history could be such a blast?

"Constantine's submission of his power to the Church has been a pattern for all Christian monarchs since, and the commencement of her state establishment to this day; and, on the other hand, the fortunes of the Roman empire are in prophecy apparently connected with her in a very intimate manner, which we are not yet able fully to comprehend. If any event might be said to call for a miracle, it was this." In this chapter from Newman's Essays on Miracles, written in his Anglican period, Newman evaluates the historical and evidential support for the miraculous event which led to Constantine's conversion to Christianity around A.D. 311-312.  Links Appearance of the Cross in the Sky to Constantine full text: https://www.newmanreader.org/works/miracles/essay2/chapter5-4.html SUBSCRIBE to Catholic Culture Audiobooks https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/catholic-culture-audiobooks/id1482214268 SIGN UP for Catholic Culture's newsletter http://www.catholicculture.org/newsletter DONATE at http://www.catholicculture.org/donate/audio Theme music: "2 Part Invention", composed by Mark Christopher Brandt, performed by Thomas Mirus. ©️2019 Heart of the Lion Publishing Co./BMI.

He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission. I may never know it in this life, but I shall be told it in the next. I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons. He has not created me for naught. I shall do good; I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place, while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments. Therefore, I will trust Him, whatever I am, I can never be thrown away. If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him, in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him. If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him. He does nothing in vain. He knows what He is about. He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers. He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me. Still, He knows what He is about." -St. John Henry Newman  "The cosmic humor is that if you desire to move mountains and you continue to purify yourself, ultimately you will arrive at the place where you are able to move mountains. But in order to arrive at this position of power you will have had to give up being he-who-wanted-to-move-mountains so that you can be he-who-put-the-mountain-there-in-the-first-place. The humor is that finally when you have the power to move the mountain, you are the person who placed it there--so there the mountain stays." -Ram Dass, Be Here Now "No matter how isolated you are and how lonely you feel, if you do your work truly and conscientiously, unknown friends will come and seek you." - Carl Jung "We dont create abundance. Abundance is always present. We create limitations." -Gil Michaels

"Your very perplexity in reconciling the surface of things with our Lord's announcements, the very temptation you lie under to explain away the plain words of Scripture, shows you that your standard of good and evil, and the standard of all around you, must be very different from God's standard." In this sermon from his Anglican period, Newman reflects upon the challenging truth proclaimed uniformly throughout Scripture: the chosen are few, though many are called.

Dr. Michael Hurley, Professor of Literature and Theology at Trinity College in the University of Cambridge, delivers a lecture to students in Ralston College's inaugural Master's in the Humanities program on the intertwining of language and thought in the work of three major Victorian authors: Walter Pater, John Henry Newman, and Gerard Manley Hopkins. Prof. Hurley argues that, far from being merely ornamental, in these authors style is constitutive of thought and the difficult pursuit of beauty is inextricable from the pursuit of truth.    —   Ralston College  Website: https://www.ralston.ac/ Ralston College Humanities MA: https://www.ralston.ac/humanities-ma YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RalstonCollegeSavannah X: https://twitter.com/RalstonCollege   —   00:00 Introduction to the Lecture and Its Significance 01:40 The Special Context of the Lecture 02:00 Exploring the Relationship Between Language and Thought 04:20 Diving Into the Logos Through Literature 21:00 Examining the Dual Nature of Logos 34:00 Analyzing Texts: A Deep Dive into Aestheticism, Truth, and the Logos 43:40 Concluding Reflections and Open Discussion   —   Authors, Ideas, and Works Mentioned in this Episode:   Pythagoras Anti-Empiricism St. John the Evangelist  Logos Heraclitus Romanticism David Jones Matthew Arnold, “Dover Beach”  Sophocles Peloponnesian War John Henry Newman William Blake W.B.
