WOF 197: Newman's Most Important Book (Part 1 of 2)

This week, we share the first half of a talk from Bishop Barron on John Henry Newman's book, The Grammar of Assent . The book concerns the question of belief–how we come to believe in God–and is widely considered his most important text. Also, it's a timely topic, since John Henry Newman will be canonized in just a couple weeks, on October 13. Bishop Barron will be attending the canonization, then a few days later will deliver a talk at Oxford University on "John Henry Newman and the New Evangelization." That talk, which we're planning to livestream, will focus primarily on The Grammar of Assent . So enjoy the first half of this talk, and we'll share the second half next week.
