Newman may be considered the most outstandingly original and creative English religious thingk of the nineteenth century. This book is a clear and concise introduction to his life and thought, presented by one of the most eminent Roman Catholic theologians of the age. While writing this study of Cardinal Newman, Avery Dulles was himself created a Cardinal. Newman has countless admirers. Since the publication of Geoffrey Faber's Oxford Apostles, many have also attempted to debunk him. But here is an account of Newman that is truly balanced and shows him to be as much a prophet for our times as he was for his own. Though unsuccessful in most of his undertakings in the Catholic Church during his lifetime, his genius and influence have since become widely recognized.
