This six-week online course will explore the profound theological, philosophical, and pastoral contributions of St. John Henry Newman, one of the most influential Catholic thinkers of the modern era. Participants will examine Newman’s journey from Anglicanism to Catholicism, his theory of doctrinal development, his vision for education, and his mature view of the Church. Through guided readings, discussion, and reflection, the course will illuminate Newman’s relevance for contemporary Catholic Practice.
