John Henry Newman began his career as a devout and promising Anglican scholar who ultimately became an unwavering Catholic priest and Cardinal. His clarity of thought and relentless pursuit of wisdom urged him to conform his life to Truth wherever and whenever he discovered it. His long anticipated conversion was the subject of great interest among his contemporaries and once he crossed over to Rome, many Anglicans followed his lead. In Passion for Truth, The Life of John Henry Newman, Fr. Juan R. Vlez painstakingly uncovers the life and work of this masterful man. Through the story of Newmans early years, his family upbringing and university education, and his vast correspondence with family, friends, and colleagues, Vlez acquaints us with Newman, the loyal friend, profound thinker, prolific writer, and holy priest. A true Catholic gentleman, who can be admired and loved by all who love the Truth.
