About this title

Review:

"Lash's introduction to this recent reissue of Newman's Grammar makes that work accessible to contemporary students of philosophy and theology alike. If one wishes a fresh perspective on the shape of the 'critical questions' facing philosophical theology, as well as an object lesson in the norms implicit in ordinary discourse properly employed, that person would be well advised to take up this century-old volume." --Theological Studies

This volume, first published in 1870, is Newman's seminal examination of the logical processes underlying religious belief.
