John Henry Newman's writings are one of the greatest treasures of the Church in Britain, and deserve to be better known. These short passages from Cardinal Newman's writings are organized under twenty themes, and give a short introduction to the Christian message, as expressed by one of the Church's greatest minds. In his inimitable style he explains the Gospel and shows its relevance for today. In our world in which the truth is becoming ever more obscured, Newman's call for a clearer teaching and an informed laity is as relevant today as ever.
