Faith and Prejudice

Faith and Prejudice and Other Unpublished Sermons by Bl John Henry Newman, 128 pages

This book presents nine sermons delivered by Newman which he did not see fit to include in the collections of sermons published in his lifetime.  Some of them are of special interest, being among the first he gave after his conversion to Catholicism.  None of them rank among his best, but even a dim Newman is brighter than most writers.  Especially penetrating is the last sermon, "The Infidelity of the Future", which is as relevant in 2015 America as it was in 1873 England.
