NEWMAN FOR EVERYONE
101 Questions Answered Imaginatively by Newman

In this novel introduction to the thoughts of one of the most creative thinkers in the Church, Father Jules M. Brady has chosen to put together a collection of passages arranged by topic in which Newman — orator, writer and theologian — illustrates his faith-filled insights through the use of a vast array of concrete images. The 101 questions presented here cover a broad spectrum of ideas on what we can know about God, ourselves, the presence of evil in the world, sin, grace, heaven, faith, love, happiness, peace, prayer, our purpose in life, the Mass, the Church, Christ, Mary, death, the Second Coming and many others. As is so characteristic of his writings in general, this book displays Newman’s skill in harmonizing the theoretical with the actual, the abstract with the concrete. Crafted with a beauty that borders on the poetic, these readings will whet the reader’s appetite for more of Newman’s works and may suggest subjects for private meditation as well as themes for liturgical homilies.
