Product Description:
Cardinal Newman (1801-1890) was one of the most eminent and controversial figures of the nineteenth century. His conversion to the Church of Rome sparked one of the most bitter and divisive controversies of the Victorian age. His religious thought helped to lay the foundations for the second Vatican Council.
Brian Martin's sympathetic study is a critical biography of Newman that surveys his life from his brilliant Oxford career to his eventual elevation to the Cardinalate. His relations with other leaders of the Roman Catholic Church in Britain are examined, and his major works are discussed in the context of his life.

Concerning Newman's 'work' i am not able to reply very precisely except that his writings are almost completely passed over; and that is what i wished to know. On the other side, it is a beautiful book with marvelous photos. Put me to sleep.
