About this title

Review

"this is a well-written, well-illustrated and attractively presented book, which marks admirably the bi-centenary of the birth of its subject." Downside Review 419 (April 2002) "Well-illustrated and accessibly written, it is a splendid introduction to a man who embodies in his life and writings many of the controversies of nineteenth-century Christianity For the person for whom Newman is still only a name, or someone who needs to refresh their memory about him, this is the ideal book." Franciscan Magazine, September 2001 "A beautifully produced reissue of a text previously published in 1982 and 1990, timed to coincide with the two hundredth anniversary of Newman's birth. This is a fluently written, thoroughly entertaining account of Newman's life, with numerous illustrations. A good, enjoyable [ ] read, and a nice way of marking the anniversary."- Reviews in Religion and Theology, June, 2001
