The Theology and Ecclesiology of the Prayer Book Crisis, 1906-1928 by Dan D. Cruickshank (review)

Abstract

Sanctity: Human Fulfilment in the Glory and Beauty of God’s Eternal Perfection,” pulls together the threads of the preceding chapters and lays out the spiritual horizon of Newman’s theological aesthetic. The book contains a useful index and is richly illustrated with 64 colored plates; especially helpful are the photographs of churches that shaped or expressed Newman’s aesthetic vision. Father Nicholls’ significant contribution serves as a solidly researched yet readable introduction to Newman’s thought and at the same time opens new perspectives to those who already have some familiarity with this great saint of our time.
