Books by Dave Armstrong: The Quotable Newman, Vol. II

[in progress; likely will be completed by the end of August 2013]

Introduction

While this volume continues the “work” of The Quotable Newman (Sophia Institute Press, 2012), it should be noted that most of the topics are different, though there is some overlap, too. Thus, “supplement” would more accurately describe the contents herein.
The first volume hit the major, “obligatory” theological topics. This one is more wide-ranging and perhaps also more “fun” (in a sense) for Newman devotees. Examples of the latter aspect might include Blessed Cardinal Newman's reflections upon his own writing and books, science and Christianity, heaven and hell, old age, and Ireland and Irishmen.
The citations also tend to be relatively shorter, and to include proportionately more material from his correspondence.
I managed to locate two additional volumes of Letters and Diaries for this work: volumes 27 and 28: covering the years of 1874-1878. These individual portions of the massive, fifty-years-in-the-making 32-volume set are quite expensive. One is fortunate to find even used copies for less than $50 (some cost as much as $500). It's likely, then, that most people who are interested in Newman at all, have not accessed these books.
They contain a lot of excellent observations and “gems” on a variety of topics, that I was delighted to find and now to pass along, for the education and edification of the reader.
Once again, theology is the overwhelming emphasis, so some topics that one might expect to find, or find in much greater depth, will be missing for that reason. But those interested in Cardinal Newman's Catholic and doctrinal thinking and beliefs will, I trust, be satisfied with what I have compiled. Enjoy!
