'… we almost have an embarrassment of riches from an international
team of Newman scholars. … this [book] will prove of enormous help
to those coming to the Cardinal's work for the first time.'
Contemporary Review
'By raising the issues that mattered to him [Newman] in ways that
stimulate and challenge readers, it encourages them to explore
those issues further for themselves.' Theology
'The Cambridge Companion to [John Henry] Newman is a splendid
volume. The bench of contributors is tremendous and the authors
manage to strike a balance between providing nifty summaries of
aspects of Newman's thought (useful for the general reader) and
more focused speculations about the intricacies of Newman's
theologising (which will thrill specialists).' Catholic Herald
