ReviewsAs an introduction, it is well written, engaging, and relevant, offering a concise and thematic treatment of Newman's thought while supplying adequate background knowledge about the various stages of his life. It also provides brief, but helpful, routes to the terrain of contemporary theologyâ€¦ Dulles' [sic] accessible account should provoke further conversation not only among Newman scholars (especially Chapter 10) but also among general readers. This achievement rings true to the spirit of Newman's work as a contextual theologian. Newman Studies Journal, Spring 2004, "With his customary lucidity and concision, Avery Cardinal Dulles S.J has written a most useful introduction to the life and thought of John Henry Newman This thematic study meets the need for a compact presentation of major themes that are scattered throughout Newman's voluminous writings." -Catholic Books Review, 2004, "With his customary lucidity and concision, Avery Cardinal Dulles S.Jâ€¦has written a most useful introduction to the life and thought of John Henry Newmanâ€¦This thematic study meets the need for a compact presentation of major themes that are scattered throughout Newman's voluminous writings." -Catholic Books Review, 2004, SAs an introduction, it is well written, engaging, and relevant, offering a concise and thematic treatment of Newman "s thought while supplying adequate background knowledge about the various stages of his life.

SynopsisNewman may be considered the most outstandingly original and creative English religious thinker of the 19th century. Here is by far the best, clear and concise introduction to his life and thought ever written. Avery Dulles is himself one of the most important living Roman Catholic theologians. The combination of this author and this subject is in itself a matter for celebration.....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 a prophet for our times as much as he was for his own. Though unsuccessful in most of his undertakings in the RC Church during his lifetime, his genius has come to be more and more recognised after his death and his influence can hardly be exaggerated.....While writing this study of Cardinal Newman, Avery Dulles was himself created a Cardinal., John Henry Newman may be considered the most outstandingly original and creative English religious thinker of the 19th century.
