The beatification of John Henry Newman has been announced for September of this year. As a former Anglican, I’m a huge fan of Newman and look forward to this blessed event. Maybe I can find an excuse to go to Rome for this!
In the meantime, here’s a list of Cardinal Newman’s books.
For lurking Anglicans, I highly recommend the following works:
- Newman’s autobiographical Apologia Pro Vita Sua
- Difficulties of Anglicans
- Letter to Dr Pusey
As Bishop Conley warned me when I was an Anglican, reading Newman is detrimental to Anglican conviction. If you dare to do so, you will be led to Rome.
