Description

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 Britain's reembrace of the Catholic Church in the 19th century. In 2010, he was officially canonised by Pope Benedict XVI.

Selected Sermons, Prayers, and Devotions offers a profound insight into the spiritual and theological reflections of a man dedicated to faith and reason.
