Description
John Henry Newman was a talented Anglican clergyman and teacher at Oxford University. After founding the Oxford Movement he embarked on a passionate search for religious truth which eventually led him in 1845 to full communion with the Catholic Church. He became one of the most influential English writers and theologians of the 19th century. In this book, the author offers an engaging biography of this profound thinker, holy priest and later Cardinal of the Catholic Church. Declared blessed in 2010, Newman continues to speak to many of the spiritual and intellectual questions of our times.
