Description

What is a university? Is it a place where we get the skills for a job? A place of learning? Or is it where we gain knowledge for its own sake? John Henry Newman says yes and no, and goes on to argue that it is more. The whole purpose of education is to tame the appetites, uplift the soul, and to strive for Heaven, for man is naturally inclined to seek God. Find Him, and life becomes meaningful. In ten discourses and ten lectures, Newman argues that the summit of knowledge is gained in the study of theology. Every other branch of knowledge answers "how"; theology answers "why." With the fluidity that only a master of the English language can muster, he explains that theology is attainable by all, for it is a reasonable science; equal, if not superior, to the exact sciences. Biologists understand the inner workings of organic structures, and may come to understand the beauty of natural things; but to gain an insight into the order of Creation, they need faith-Christian faith, approached by the light of reason.
