Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Review of Dr. Newman´s: Apologia Pro Vita Sua From an early age, up to the period when he became a Roman Catholic Priest, Dr. Newman appears to have been the passive victim of many fortuitous influences, and as many transitory impressions; all of them from sources, purely human. At fourteen years of age, he read Paine´s Tracts against the Old Testament; some of Hume´s Essays, and copied some French verses against the immortality of the soul. He appears to have been struck with the plausibility of some of those writings, but was not biassed by them. At fifteen "a great change of thought took place in him. He fell under the influence of a definite Creed, and received into his intellect, impressions of dogma." Those intellectual impressions were not received from a study and meditation of the Word of God, but from some works, "all from the School of Calvin." From one of Mr. Romaine´s works, Dr. Newman "received at once, the doctrine of final perseverance." Dr. Newman soon abandoned "the detestable doctrine" of election and final perseverance; not from any light he had received from the Scriptures, but from the works of "the writer who made a deeper impression on his mind than any other - Thomas Scott, of Aston Sandford who planted deep in his mind, that fundamental Truth of religion" - belief in the Holy Trinity. In the autumn of 1816, Dr. Newman received another "deep impression." Not from reading the Word of God, "but from two other works, each contrary to each, and planting in him, the seeds of an intellectual inconsistency, which disabled him for a long course of years."
