Abstract

Religious faith is practical: it is a reality in which the supernatural grace that
precedes it, and that makes it possible, is melted with the human conditions
required to embrace and experience it. In accordance with such understanding
of the theology of faith, J. H. Newman’s Parochial and Plain Sermons, preached
between 1824 and 1843, pose the believer experience as a realization instead of
an abstraction. The article aims to prove this suggesting sympathy by revealing
the qualitative mediation of the dogmatic formulation, which, in the proposal
of Newman, is presented as sympathetic to the meaning of faith within its
practical dimension.
