El lugar teológico de la emoción religiosa: Un análisis a los sermones anglicanos de John H. Newman

Abstract

Religious discourse and its practical relevance assume, by its very nature, an anthropological condition. Indeed, everything that constitutes humanity is assumed by the experience of faith. In this sense, the place of emotions and their relationship with the epistemic reason evidenced by religious faith contribute in diverse ways to a reality that is not trivial in the recognition of the supernatural experience of God. Knowledge, as a rationally required element, places us in an epistemological context that requires further study, but equally, the experience of human love, with all its emotional charge, suggests a space that is normally expressed in religious emotions. Now, what is the relevance or place of these emotions within a healthy and true faith? Here is our analysis, based on the Anglican homilies of John Henry Newman.
