"Criticism is often received as a sharp sword, enraging and embittering the recipient. Yet it may also prompt an honest re-examination and a humble defense of one's writings. Newman and his Critics, Edward Short's masterful account of John Henry Newman's dealings with hiscritics demonstrates that Newman's charity and love of the truth brought forth magnificent writings that are instructive and convincing, free of acrimony and acerbity. We have much to learn from Newman's truly Christian way of engaging with those who disagreed with him."THE REV. GERALD E. MURRAY, Author of Calming the Storm: Navigating the Crises Facing the Catholic Church and Society
