Abstract :
Newman’s thoughts on Divine Providence are scattered throughout his many works and difficult to arrange into an organic system. Nonetheless, there are distinct characteristics of Divine Providence which come to the fore and these give us a good understanding of what he means by the term. For Newman, Divine Providence is disclosed in conscience, and manifests itself as both a particular and a general providence. Its workings are largely hidden and the only adequate response to it is faith. This doctrine might well be described as the cornerstone of Newman’s life and works.
