Inhaltsangabe

Conscience was the driving force of Saint John Henry Newman's journey towards the certainty of truth: ex umbris et imaginibus in veritatem ("out of shadows and illusions into truth"). This book invites you to reflect on the figure of Newman, a modern man who lived the whole problem of modernity. Newman's three conversions can be seen as three "conversions to reality."

His first conversion is the discovery that God and the soul are real, and that the presence of God can be perceived with the same concreteness and certainty with which one perceives the outside world, everyday objects, or the faces of friends.

His second conversion brings the realization that faith is not exhausted in an individualistic dialogue with God but becomes an awareness of the whole of reality.

The final conversion is Newman's conversion to Catholicism, after he recognized that God decided to "interfere in human affairs," creating a real place of his presence in the form of the Catholic Church.

Through this book, allow Saint John Henry Newman to speak to you today; and still more importantly, allow his knowledge and love of God to come to you through him.
