Donald Graham substantiates the claim made by many, but rarely demonstrated, that Newman anticipated concerns that preoccupy the Church today and supplied theological resources that allow us to address them in a fresh and intelligent manner. In this book Graham establishes that Newman was a pioneering thinker who must be exempted from the charge that nearly all modern theology is characterized by neglect or forgetfuless of the Holy Spirit. Grahams thoroughgoing and comprehensive exploration of Newmans ecclesial pneumatology is much more than an account of Newman s thought. It is an invitation to rethink, with Newman, the nature and mission of the sacramental community of the Church.-Terrence Merrigan, Professor of Systematic Theology, Faculty of Theology and u0026 Religious Studies, Catholic University of Leuven, Belgium.The author of this study brings to bear on Newmans corpus a careful historical analysis and a powerfully analytic theological mind. If anyone doubted Newmans usefulness for Christian dogmatics this exquisitely written book will settle their difficulty. It culminates in a conclusion so subtle and elegant as to be worthy of Newman himself.-Aidan Nichols OP
