This volume argues that Newman's religious philosophy developed as an attempt to salvage truth from the liberal scepticism prevalent in his day. It contends that Newman's strength lies in his theory of belief and his wish for liberal scholarship to reassess the role of belief in human affairs.

Product Description
"Alas," Newman said of liberalism, "it is an error overspreading, as a snare, the whole earth." The Great Dissent examines how from his implacable opposition to liberalism Newman developed a sweeping critique of modern values only rivaled in breadth and scorn by that of Nietzsche. The Great Dissent offers a revaluation of Newman's whole thought and establishes his place in the history of ideas as the leading English dissident from the liberalism of contemporary civilization and the foremost modern spokesman for the reality of dogmatic truth.
