Passion for Truth: The Life of John Henry Newman
How good to have Father Velez's biography of Cardinal Newman at hand, just as the Church is raising him to the altars. Newman provides a model for so many different kinds of Catholics--teachers, preachers, readers, writers, and apologists. He wasn't a "specialist,"; as most scholars are today. We need many more like him. --Scott Hahn, Pope Benedict XVI Chair, St. Vincent Seminary; Professor of Scripture and Theology, Franciscan University of SteubenvilleFather Juan R. Velez has managed to portray Newman's fruitful and active life, and to present the main doctrinal ideas, which Newman followed in his unflagging pursuit of Religious Truth. I think that many will read this book with interest. --Father Jose Morales Marin, Professor of Dogmatic Theology, University of Navarre; Author of "John Henry Newman: 1801-1890"
