A fascinating study of the many related dimensions of human love and communion in John Henry Newman’s thought: in the family, in human friendship, in priestly pastoral care, in the nature of the diocese and the Church and its relationship to Christ; with its implications for the modern understanding of community and the search for true Christian unity.

“…leads the reader, with sureness of touch, into an important area of Newman’s thought” - From the Foreword by the Archbishop of Birmingham.
