%X This article discusses John Locke¡¯s positive contribution to Newman¡¯s epistemology throughout the latter¡¯s career. Beginning with one of Newman¡¯s earliest published works, his Essay on Miracles, he borrowed and further developed ideas from Locke¡¯s A Discourse on Miracles regarding the necessity of miracles to validate the Christian message and the personal nature and cumulative method of weighing evidence. Later, in Newman¡¯s most mature epistemological work, An Essay in Aid of a Grammar of Assent, one can discern Locke¡¯s influence on Newman¡¯s views on the weaknesses of deductive logic, the personal nature of knowledge, and the role of connecting ideas to arrive at knowledge
