by Francis McGrath, F.M.S.
Foreword by Gerard Tracey

Amply enhanced with notes, references, and bibliography, "John Henry Newman: Universal Revelation" is thoroughly researched work on an important aspect of Newman's work that has never before been so extensively investigated. It is also an accessible story of a fascination period of profound religious controversy and development.

"McGrath has written a book that captures theological drama. It is free from the partisan error of stressing only one stage of Newman's development--either the earlier Evangelical stage, or the subsequent Anglican and Catholic stage. The author is not afraid to represent fully and fairly the views of each major player and he takes great pains to delineate each school of thought encountered. He trusts the reader with Newman's whole epic story in all its complexity and force. Refreshingly, McGrath does not overlay the work with a heavy-handed interpretation that gives us more McGrath than Newman. The focus is where it should be--on how Newman developed his vision of universalism and fought for a comprehensive revelation that found culmination in the
church. When all the pieces of Newman's surprising universalism have been laid out, the reader sees that, after all his ecumenism, Newman remained a Christian apologist to the last."
