Promising without Doing - Dr. David Deavel

Dr. David Deavel, an Associate Professor of Theology at the University of St. Thomas - Houston (after coming from The Center of Catholic Studies at the University of St. Thomas in Minnesota) reflects on Newman's sermon "Promising without Doing". Like Newman, Dr. Deavel sees his own journey from Evangelical Protestantism to the Catholic Church as an addition of the truths he understood prior to becoming Catholic. Dr. Deavel helps us to appreciate Newman's understanding of the relationship of our "doing" (works) with our faith in Christ. Together, St. John Henry Newman and Dr. Deavel, place our identity in Christ at the center of how we live and journey in the presence of God. To learn more of Dr. Deavel work go to "The Imaginative Conservative" at https://theimaginativeconservative.orgTo approach Newman's majestic thought it is highly recommended to download the formatted sermon at www.newmanontap.com.
