Abstract

The aim of the article was to analyze the defense of the rationality of faith in the writings of J.H. Newman. In the frst part, the author dealt with the work Apologia provita sua, which contains a defense of the conversion to Catholicism that took place in the life of the English theologian. The second part was devoted to the issue of the rationality of faith, present in the works of J.H. Newman. The conducted analyses allowed him to draw the following conclusions. The defense of his own conversion is consistent and is based on the analysis of patristic sources that initiated it. Dealing with the rationality of faith, in turn, the English theologian shows that it is an intellectual act, although it has nothing in it from the scientifc path or logical proof. The Cardinal, taking up an apology of the act of faith, showed that it is a reality that opens the knowing subject to the external world and from it arises trust, not doubt.
