Saint John Henry Newman has been called the "absent Father of Vatican II" thanks to the ways his writings on conscience, religious liberty, the vocation of laypeople, and other topics shaped the documents of the Second Vatican Council. This prolific saint and convert to Catholicism authored 40 books and 21,000 letters—a dizzying resume for those interested in reading John Henry Newman but not sure where to start! This small volume introduces readers to the writing, theology, and thought of Saint John Henry Newman, one of the most important English-speaking Catholic theologians of the nineteenth century. Unlike other books on Newman, which are biographical or offer high-level scholarly discussions of his thought, this book hones in on some of the most important quotations from Newman's writings on faith, holiness, trust in Divine Providence, and other devotional topics, and organizes them to facilitate personal reflection. A set of discussion questions in the back of the book also makes this a handy title for small faith formation groups.
