Excerpt from Cardinal Newman: And His Influence on Religious Life and Thought

Considering the wonderful vitality of Newman's influence, it is hardly necessary to justify ourselves for adding one more book to an already voluminous literature. We feel all the less embarrassed because each of our predecessors, with the single exception of M. Bremond, has only given us one particular aspect of Newman, and because no one can flatter himself with having given us the final portrait. Precisely because Newman continues to be a living force, every interpreter - Protestant, Catholic, Anglican, or sceptic - seeks in his works that interpretation which is most favourable to his own tendencies. And that is also the reason why few thinkers have appeared under so many and varied aspects and passed through so many changes.
