Coleridge and Newman

the long version

"In this book, Philip Rule seeks to show why Samuel Taylor Coleridge and John Henry Cardinal Newman belong in the long line of Christian apologists who, through the ages, have attempted to provide a foundational philosophy for the doctrines and practices of revealed religion." "Rule's book focuses on the interplay between religious experience and its rhetorical expression. Scholars of Coleridge and Romanticism will discover fresh understandings of Newman, while those interested in Newman will find rewarding new approaches to Romantic literature and the larger Victorian culture. For philosophers and theologians, Rule brings Coleridge into the mainstream of modern Christian theology where he rightly belongs."--BOOK JACKET.
