Honoring the Beatification of Cardinal Newman

John Henry Newman

A Prophet for Our Time

3-CD Set

John Henry Newman (1801-1890), wrote some of Catholicism’s most masterful prose, which is still relevant today for anyone seeking a greater understanding of the Faith’s philosophy and theology. Cardinal Newman presented the Faith in an eloquent, literary style that touched both the mind and the heart.

Father Robert Barron believes Newman’s voice is still extremely relevant for our own times. In a world that has the tendency to reduce religion to mere opinion, Fr. Barron suggests we look to Newman as a prophetic and inspirational teacher of the Faith.

· Disc 1 - Apologia Pro Vita Sua: Newman’s autobiography, tracing his own religious thought from his time in the Anglican Oxford Movement to his conversion to Catholicism (53 minutes)

· Disc 2 - Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine: Newman presents the idea of “doctrine” as organic and developing over time, while staying true to the key principles of the faith and monitored by a “living voice of infallibility”(58 minutes)

· Disc 3 - Grammar of Assent: Demonstrating how we come to belief, Newman explains that the process of assent is not one of agreeing only with arguments that prove absolute certainty, but one of evaluating arguments, impressions, experiences and other “converging probabilities” to come to believe or not to believe. (56 minutes)

“In a higher world it might be otherwise, but here below, to live is to change and to be perfect is to change often.”

--John Henry Newman

“The one who discovers history becomes Catholic.”

--John Henry Newman
