A biography of Newman which never flags, Sep 6 2002
By T. Patrick Killough "All about Patrick" - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Newman and His Age (Hardcover)
Theologians tell me that this is the ONLY biography of 19th Century English churchman John Henry Newman to read.The book is long, but uniformly accurate and well prioritized.
For myself, the best part takes Newman from his birth in 1801 through his first religious conversion--to the Evangelistic pattern of the Church of England--in 1816. I have read at least two dozen accounts of "Young man Newman" and Gilley's trumps them all.

What a slog !, Dec 17 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Newman and His Age (Paperback)
This book is too long, includes too many details, fails to give the reader a feel for the overall picture. While there is substantial important information, there is way too much stuff about Newman's personal disputes with various Anglicans and Catholics. The title clearly misstates the nature of the book. If you want to learn about Newman's importance, read Dulles' short book instead.
Listmania!
