Abstract
The presented article1 examines John Henry Newman’s theology of emotions through an analysis of selected Parochial Sermons. It argues that Newman understands emotions as mediators between doctrinal truth and the lived reality of faith embodied in the Church. His understanding of emotions is rooted in personal experience: from youthful evangelical fervour, through disappointment at the liberalisation of parliament and the established Church, to a commitment to living according to the teachings of Christ. Newman identifies three key ideas: (a) emotions are legitimate but require constant formation; (b) worship and communal prayer do not suppress emotions but guide them towards calmness; (c) the source and direction of religious emotions is conscience, which leads a person to God. For Newman, emotions are consecrated in Christ and sustained in the Church, where they become expressions of compassion, community, and God’s love. The article concludes by demonstrating how Newman’s integration of reason and emotion offers a Christian approach to emotions that remains relevant to contemporary theological discourse.

Title:John Henry Newman o čustvih v Župnijskih pridigah : študija izbranih pridig
Abstract:
Članek preučuje teologijo čustev Johna Henryja Newmana skozi analizo izbranih Župnijskih pridig (angl. Parochial Sermons). Cilj je pokazati, da Newman razume čustva kot posrednike med doktrinarno resnico in živeto realnostjo vere, utelešeno v Cerkvi. Njegov pogled na čustva izhaja iz osebnih izkušenj: od mladostne evangelijske gorečnosti, prek razočaranja in liberalizacije parlamenta in nacionalne Cerkve do zavezanosti življenju v skladu s Kristusovimi nauki. Newman izpostavlja tri ključne ideje: (a) čustva so legitimna, vendar zahtevajo nenehno oblikovanje; (b) bogoslužje in skupna molitev ne zatirajo čustev, ampak jih usmerjajo k miru; (c) vir in smer verskih čustev je vest, ki človeka vodi k Bogu. Za Newmana so čustva posvečena v Kristusu in ohranjena v Cerkvi, kjer postanejo izraz sočutja, skupnosti in Božje ljubezni. Na podlagi teh ugotovitev pokažemo, kako Newmanova integracija razuma in čustev ponuja krščanski pristop k čustvom, ki je relevanten za sodobni teološki diskurz.
