Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent

by John Henry Newman

An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent is a work by John Henry Newman that attempts to study the modes of language, or "grammar", in which the intelligibility of faith can be expressed. Newman argues that faith is not a blind leap into the dark, but rather a rational response to evidence. He develops a "grammar of assent" that can help us to understand how we can reasonably believe in things that we cannot see or touch.
