Newman's Sermons #'s 23,24,25
The Thesis and Argumentation of Newman's Parochial and Plain Sermons : #'s 23,24,25 Since the beginning of Christianity, man has tried to explain the great mystery of the Trinity. People from the religious to pagans went to great lengths to use language to convey messages about the existence or non-existence of the Holy Trinity; and, moreover, if there is such a thing, how does it exist (i.e. are all three persons divine). One of the most renowned orators in the history of mankind, John Henry Newman, made some attempts to explain the Holy Trinity in three of his sermons. There is no question in Newman's theology that the Holy Trinity exists; in fact, he seems so convinced of it that he seems to suggest that the simplest-minded man should know it based on simple everyday human experiences. In each of Newman's Parochial and Plains Sermons Volume 6, Sermons 23, 24, and 25, he suggests that people are "unreasonable in refusing to believe before they see the Scripture proof," "no wording can remove or explain the Adorable Mystery," and that God has given man "Peace in believing in the Eternal Trinity in Unity;" moreover, he employs a different style of argumentation in each sermon to convey his different messages.
"Holiness Necessary for Blessedness. " On the next page, Newman again employs the rhetorical question; although this time he asks a series of them to establish his point. '" ; all these are quotes from Books of the Bible. a very few words will make it evident, that they [disbelievers] are unreasonable and inconsistent in refusing to believe before they see the Scripture proof. John Henry's message in Sermon 23 is effectively delivered through his method of using rhetorical questions to draw the audience into the meaning-making process. John Henry Newman's creation of those hypothetical situations and his inclusion of copious textual evidence are the two main devices that he employed to relate his subject to his audience, making his message very effective (i. " 'The work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness, and assurance for ever'" ), which definitely makes his audience more lenient toward his views.
