The Idea of a University Defined and Illustrated: In Nine Discourses Delivered to the Catholics of Dublin
Newman's nine discourses transform the question of what a university should be into a provocative meditation on intellectual formation and the purpose of knowledge itself. Rather than offering prescriptive answers, this work challenges readers to reconsider education as fundamentally about cultivating the mind, not merely training workers for society. Its arguments remain strikingly relevant to contemporary debates about higher education.
An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine
A 19th-century theological essay on how Christian doctrine has changed over time, mainly within the Catholic tradition. It argues that apparent variations in teaching are developments rather than corruptions, and it responds to critics.
