Faith and Dogma in Newman's Theology

Foreword:

After the Second World War, Newman scholarship in the Low Countries, France, and Germany blossomed. Abbé Nicolas Theis sought to harvest this intellectual outpouring by hosting a series of congresses in his native Luxembourg (July 1956, July 1961, May 1964, and May 1970), with a propitious extension occurring, un heureux prolongement in his words, at Oriel College, Oxford, March 1966. With the help of The Spiritual Family The Work, Theis hosted another symposium in Rome in 1975, in conjunction with the Holy Year declared by Pope Paul VI. The pope gave an audience and exhortation on 7 April 1975 to the gathered scholars. At this symposium Prof. Jan Hendrik Walgrave of Louvain (Leuven) delivered the address, Foi et dogme dans la théologie de Newman, later printed in Newman Studien 10 (1978), Glock und Lutz Verlag, 140–149. The following English rendition follows the subtitles and paragraphing of Walgrave's French text.
