Thorough, eloquent, witty, just. Gentle reader, pounce.

A biography of Newman which never flags

Theologians tell me that this is the ONLY biography of 19th Century English churchman John Henry Newman to read.The book is long, but uniformly accurate and well prioritized.For myself, the best part takes Newman from his birth in 1801 through his first religious conversion--to the Evangelistic pattern of the Church of England--in 1816. I have read at least two dozen accounts of "Young man Newman" and Gilley's trumps them all.
