Review:
"...a revival of much of the traditional understanding of John Henry Newman....a clear concise, and insightful survey of Newman's ideas."—The Weekly Standard, 5/5/03
"Exceptional"—Today's Books/Public News Service, June 30, 2003
"[A] fine and illuminating work on John Henry Newman." -Gregorianum, 2003
“As an introduction, it is well written, engaging, and relevant, offering a concise and thematic treatment of Newman’s thought while supplying adequate background knowledge about the various stages of his life. It also provides brief, but helpful, routes to the terrain of contemporary theology... Dulles’ [sic] accessible account should provoke further conversation not only among Newman scholars (especially Chapter 10) but also among general readers. This achievement rings true to the spirit of Newman’s work as a contextual theologian.” –Newman Studies Journal, Spring 2004 (Frederick D. Aquino)
"With his customary lucidity and concision, Avery Cardinal Dulles S.J...has written a most useful introduction to the life and thought of John Henry Newman...This thematic study meets the need for a compact presentation of major themes that are scattered throughout Newman's voluminous writings." -Catholic Books Review, 2004
