Throughout his career, John Henry Newman (1801-1890) remained a committed believer in the value of education. Delivered initially as a series of lectures when he was rector of the newly-established Catholic University of Ireland, his Discourses (1852) inspired a generation of young and talented Catholic scholars.
The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated was written by noted theologian John Henry Newman. He was originally an Evangelical Oxford University academic and priest, who left to join the Roman Catholic Church. He went on to become a cardinal, and was canonized by the Roman Catholic Church in 2019.
