Аудиокнига: Sermons Preached on Various Occasions

What language do the human heart and soul speak? Many would say they speak poetry and song. But what if reason and spirituality join heart and soul? John Henry Newman's sermons were an attempt at that higher language. Divine reality, complex human experience, powerful use of the English language, an integrated philosophical system, and love for his listener were combined by Newman into food for the whole person. First as Anglican priest, then as Catholic convert, he gave himself to his listeners and readers. The sermons in this book come from his Catholic period and exemplify why Saint Cardinal John Henry Newman is still appreciated today, 130 years after his death. - Summary by Russell Hobbs
