Getting to Know Newman: the Apologia Pro Vita Sua

 

 

Damon McGraw

 

PhD Candidate, University of Notre Dame

Executive Research Fellow, National Institute for Newman Studies

 

Surely the best way to get to know Cardinal Newman is by reading his autobiographical classic, the Apologia Pro Vita Sua. In this great work he defends his personal integrity to a suspicious British public by telling the dramatic story of his journey from being a zealous leader of the Church of England to becoming its most infamous convert to the Roman Catholic Church. This seven-week seminar will guide readers on a tour of the Apologia. Damon will introduce important background information, comment on the major themes, and spark lively discussion.
