Infos

Edward Jeremy Miller's first book is a study of Newman's ecclesiology. Miller examines Newman's essays in his Uniform Edition, writings long familiar, and all 20,000 letters of his correspondence, materials much less known and where Newman writes to friends more bluntly. Miller's book remains the definitive study of Newman's theology of the church. Its new perspectives include a "e;dialectics of discourse,"e; Newman's clever "e;checks and balances"e; strategy, and his advocacy for involving the laity in the clerical-dominated church of his day (for consulting them for their views and describing how church teachings are "e;received"e; by being understood properly). Finally, Newman's ecclesiology would champion what Pope Francis wishes today for a "e;church more synod-like,"e; an inclusive church listening to all of its voices.
