About this listen

John Henry Newman (1801 - 1890) was a theologian and poet; at first an Anglican, and later a Catholic priest and cardinal. He was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of England in the 19th century. The Idea of a University consists of Part One, “University Teaching”, and Part Two, “University Subjects”. Newman introduces this work by stating that in essence, a university is a place of teaching universal knowledge, but that the Church is necessary for the integrity of the institution. He discusses the bearing of theology on other fields, and examines the relationship of Christianity with literature and with the physical sciences.

The narrator is awful and it is only an extract from a much longer work, but it is a very good extract and there doesn't seem to be any other available on Audible, so worth a listen.

Extract only, great content, bad reading
