Newman’s Theology of the Immanent Trinity in his Parochial and Plain Sermons: : 1829–1834

This study of two of Newman’s Anglican sermons–“The Christian Mysteries” (1829) and “The Mystery of the Holy Trinity” (1831)–shows that he considered the doctrine of the Trinity to be the foundation of Christian faith. Simultaneously, this study highlights the biblical and patristic underpinnings of Newman’s Trinitarian theology, while showing that he was defending Trinitarian orthodoxy from both “classical heresies” and contemporary Liberalism and Rationalism.
