As is known, John Henry Newman will be beatified this Autumn when Pope Benedict visits Britain. Family Publications has a number of books that will help people understand Newman more. For those wanting to know more about this Pope's life-long interest in John Henry Newman, we have Benedict XVI and Cardinal Newman. For people who want a general introduction to the life and times of Newman, we have John Henry Newman - in his time. And for those who want a more in-depth look at Newman's thought, ideas, and theology, we have John Henry Newman - Doctor of the Church.

The most recent Newman book from Family Publications is John Henry Newman - Doctor of the Church. The book provides a good introduction to the thought and teaching of Newman, and also provides a more detailed examination of his most significant contributions to theology. The late Cardinal Avery Dulles SJ, one of America's leading theologians, wrote the Foreword.

Written by sixteen Newman scholars from around the world, the chapters cover the major topics of Newman on liberalism, faith and reason, the Church, conscience, the laity, and the development of doctrine. (See the list of chapters below.)
