As well as being a saint, John Henry Newman was one of the most brilliant minds of the nineteenth century.
This podcast series was made in preparation for his canonisation on 13 October 2019. In each podcast, an expert on Newman introduces us to an aspect of his character or a key contribution Newman made to Christian thought, with a short reading from one of his writings.
A brief selection from the series are given below. To continue listening to the whole series - 22 episodes (most of between 5-7 mins duration) visit the website Newman Canonisation.
