Newman 101
by Roderick Strange
The conversion to Catholicism and the rich writings of this prominent nineteenth century theologian are presented with newfound accessibility and energy in this second volume in the 101 Series from Christian Classics. Over the last 150 years few Catholic thinkers have captured the mood, imagination, and concerns of the Church as well as John Cardinal Newman. His journey from Anglicanism to Catholicism is one marked with controversy and radical transformation, but what followed was even more critical and fascinating, one of the most celebrated careers in history of a Catholic thinker. In Newman 101, Roderick Strange offers an accessible introduction to the thought and work of the popular and widely studied philosopher, highlighting his Catholic vision for an entire new generation of readers.
"This short book, written in a reader-friendly style by an expert on the famous British intellectual, Cardinal John Henry Newman, provides an engaging introduction to Newman that should be of interest both to people who are interested in getting acquainted with his life and thought, as well as to people already familiar with his biography and writings."
