An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent is John Henry Newman's book on the philosophy of faith, his seminal work. While it was completed in 1870, Newman revealed to friends that it took him 20 years to write the book.Newman's aim was to show that the scientific standards for evidence and assent are too narrow and inapplicable in concrete life. He argued that logic and its conclusions are not transferable to real life decision making as such. As a result, it is inappropriate to judge the validity of assent in concrete faith by conventional logical standards because paper logic is unequal to the task. "Logic is loose at both ends," he said, meaning that the process of logic initially depends on restrictive assumptions and is thus unable to fit its conclusions neatly into real world situations.The Grammar was an apologia for faith. Newman was concerned with defending faith as a legitimate product of rational human activity-that assent is not contrary to human nature. He wrote this book against the background of British Empiricism which restricted the strength and legitimacy of assent to the evidence presented for it. John Locke, David Hume and John Stuart Mill, a contemporary of Newman, were the primary Empiricists that Newman was engaged with philosophically.

“Considering the high gifts, and the strong claims of the Church of Rome and its dependencies on our admiration, reverence, love, and gratitude, how could we withstand it, as we do; how could we refrain from being melted into tenderness, and rushing into communion with it, but for the words of Truth itself, which bid us prefer it to the whole world? ‘He that loveth father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Me.’ How could we learn to be severe, and execute judgment, but for the warning of Moses against even a divinely-gifted teacher who should preach new gods, and the anathema of St. Paul even against Angels and Apostles who should bring in a new doctrine?” Aeterna Press

An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent is a work by John Henry Newman that deals with philosophy of faith. The author's purpose was to show that the systematic criteria for proof and consent are too limited and misplaced for actual life, arguing that rationality and its suppositions are not communicable to real life outcomes.
