- Summary
- "The "Word" was at the heart of John Henry Newman's endeavors as a preacher and writer, and the "Word made flesh" was the primary object of his faith as a Christian. In this collection of essays, theologians, philosophers, historians and literary scholars reflect on Newman's engagement with the word and relate his thought to contemporary developments in their disciplines.
- The topics discussed include Newman's understanding of the nature of faith and the church, his standing as an ecumenist and a philosopher, and the significance of his literary and theological work in relation to postmodernism. This collection constitutes a thoroughgoing and critical analysis of Newman's reputation as a master of the word, both written and proclaimed, and of his status as a thinker of contemporary significance."--BOOK JACKET.
