Warranting Christian Belief in Afterlife: Testing Newman’s Grammar of Assent

Newman Studies Journal 3 (1):12-22 (2006)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Most people believe in an afterlife, but is such a belief warranted? While Newman did not specifically treat the doctrine of afterlife, his Grammar of Assent furnishes a trajectory that shows that Christians can believe in this doctrine with a warranted assent, precisely because the Church is a warranted belief.
