NEWMAN THE PRIEST - A FATHER OF SOULS
By: Gerard Skinner
320 pp

Presenting aspects of the life of Cardinal Newman and letting him speak to us in his own words. Fr Skinner draws from the tens of thousands of pages that this great pastor penned and presents Newman as a priest, A Father of Souls. In a series of easily readable sketches we follow Newmans life from the time when he first realised that God was calling him to the ordained ministry until his last years as a priest and Cardinal in the Birmingham Oratory that he had himself founded. Important themes such as his preaching are seen alongside the means by which he felt he was most sustained and strengthened for his life's not insignificant trials. Seven of Newman's sermons conclude this volume. Add to your cart or wish list above.
