An original selection of public sermons, private papers, and devotions—from one of the most definitive authorities on Christianity and theology and “one of the greatest of all spiritual writers” (Philip Zaleski, editor of The Best Spiritual Writing Series).

In this collection, Newman’s thoughtful belief in the Word of God shines through, as do his teachings on how to be in this world but not of it, and how to reconcile faith and reason.

Devoted to his own religious calling for nearly a century, John Henry Newman is one of the most definitive authorities on Christianity and theology. A cardinal of the Catholic Church, he had a pivotal role in Britian’s reembrace of the Catholic Church in the 19th century. In 2010, he was officially canonized by Pope Benedict XVI.

“Newman is one of the greatest of all spiritual writers, a master of English prose and an incomparable expositor of the mysteries of God and creation. This wonderful collection captures the heart of his eloquence and warmth. A superb achievement.”
—Philip Zaleski, editor of THE BEST SPIRITUAL WRITING SERIES

“I would feel presumptuous in recommending John Henry Newman. It is like saying Mozart is a great composer. One can only acknowledge that Newman is one of the spiritual masters of world history, and express gratitutde for this intelligent selection from the feast of his genius.”
—The Reverend Richard John Neuhaus, President of The Religion and Public Life Institute
