Saint John Henry Newman has had a profound impact on modern Christian life.

Writer, preacher, counselor, educator, pastor of souls: all of these descriptions and more have been aptly applied to John Henry Newman (1801-1890). Newman's canonization by Pope Francis focuses attention on the extraordinary holiness and inner life of a man who spent most of his earthly years being misunderstood. His trust in God and his willingness to seek the truth eventually convinced him to seek ordination as a Catholic priest. He spent the remaining 45 years of his life in service to the church, and his impact on Catholic faith and doctrine has endured and increased in the 120 years since his death.

Understand Catholic virtues by understanding Newman's life and theology. This course will relate Blessed John Henry's earthly and spiritual biographies, taking a particular look at this intellectual and spiritual quest for the truth.
