Autorenporträt
John Henry Cardinal Newman was an English theologian, philosopher, historian, academic, writer, and poet, widely regarded for his profound contributions to Christian thought. Born on February 21, 1801, in London, he began his religious journey as an Anglican priest but later converted to Catholicism in 1845, a pivotal moment in his life. His conversion led him to be ordained as a Catholic priest and eventually become a cardinal. Newman s intellectual journey was heavily influenced by key thinkers such as Thomas Aquinas, Augustine of Hippo, and John Keble. His education at the University of Oxford, where he studied at Trinity College, played a significant role in shaping his theological insights. Newman is best known for his writings on religious doctrine, the development of Christianity, and the role of the Church in understanding divine truth. His work, particularly in the areas of theology and philosophy, has had a lasting impact on both Catholic and broader Christian thought. He passed away on August 11, 1890, in Edgbaston, Birmingham, at the age of 89, leaving behind a rich legacy of theological scholarship and devotion. His parents were Jemina Fourdrinier and John Newman.
