This selection from one of the most productive Christian writers of the 19th century is also an introduction to one of its most compelling and troubled minds. This book concentrates on Newman's life and work up to 1845—the mid-point of his life and the moment he became a Roman Catholic. The sermons, tracts, and polemics demonstrate his talent for organization and his ability to inspire others to faith and action.
