This book presents a variety of selected commentaries on the Bible by Cardinal John Henry Newman. These are pulled from articles and sermons which abound with extensive comments on various Scriptural passages as well as on problems of interpretation. His character studies of the Old Testament, including those of Joshua, Saul and David, provide great psychological insight. And his meditations on beloved or difficult New Testament passages bring greater depth and light to their meaning.
John Henry Newman was a Roman Catholic priest and cardinal who converted to Roman Catholicism from Anglicanism in October 1845. In early life, he was a major figure in the Oxford Movement to bring the Church of England back to its Catholic roots.
Eventually his studies in history persuaded him to become a Roman Catholic. Both before and after becoming a Roman Catholic, he wrote a number of influential books.
