Book Description
Newman and the Intellectual Tradition highlights the proceedings of the 2010 Portsmouth Institute on Newman and the Intellectual Tradition. John Henry Newman was an Anglican priest for two decades in the 1800s, and was one of the founders of the Oxford Movement, which sought to reinvigorate the Church of England. In 1845 he left the Anglican Church to convert to Roman Catholicism. He was ordained a priest soon after, and was elevated to Cardinal in 1879. The richness of Newman’s thought and the felicity of his prose remain powerful and provocative today. This book includes speeches, articles, and thoughts about Newman from a distinguished array of speakers. They successfully explore Cardinal Newman’s far-ranging life and thought. For anyone wanting to further their own understanding of Cardinal Newman’s character this is a must-read.
