The Idea of a University

The book explores Cardinal John Henry Newman's influential role in the Oxford Movement, which aimed to restore the Church of England's Catholic roots in response to secular encroachments. After becoming the Rector of University College, Dublin, Newman articulated his educational philosophy in "The Idea of a University." This work offers insights into the principles of university education from his unique perspective as a founder. It serves as a significant resource for both religious and educational scholars interested in Newman's contributions to these fields.
