John Henry Newman: A Mind Alive

Short Review: I was looking for a short overview of Newman and his thought before I pick up some of Newman's own writing. This fit the bill. It is not a full biography but intended as an introduction. The author has lectured on Newman and converted some of the lectures into the book instead of starting from scratch and that shows. It could be better put together and there is some unnecessary repetition. I am interested in reading the fuller biography from Ian Kerr later.
