An Excellent Spiritual Resource,
By
This review is from: The Heart of Newman (Paperback)
"The Heart Of Newman" is an excellent spiritual resource. Divided into 21 topics, it provides insights into doctrine, devotion, Sacred Scripture and philosophy drawn from 25 works by or about John Henry Cardinal Newman. Unlike some spiritual books which were written in ancient languages and cultures, Newman's works were originally written in modern English. His style is very familiar and readable.Father Przywara has done an excellent job in selecting and arranging the selections in this book. It is an excellent combination of devotional prayer, philosophy and probes into the nature of God and His Church. Throughout many of these selections Newman is decidedly Catholic in his outlook. Through these pages we learn Newman's views on the gulf between God and us, the ability of the individual to understand Sacred Scripture, the effect of the Church on the world, distinctions between Catholicism and other Christian faiths and insights into our relationship with and our duties toward God. As I finished this book I felt more satisfied than inspired. I plan to keep it handy for future reference. I am glad to have read "The Heart Of Newman". I am sure that you will be also.
