Course Description
Saint John Henry Newman has been called «the most important theologian since Saint Thomas Aquinas» and the «secret influence» on the most important theologians of the 20th century. But, at the same time, we are talking about a circumstantial writer: Newman was not a desk theologian but a pastor and reformer inspired by faith and his experience of the power of the Christian message, whose writings always responded to the needs and challenges of his epoch. He is a saint, and the study of his life and writings will give us access to a deeply vital and renewed look at our faith.
