Mr. Michael Davies gives a biography of the illustrious English convert John Henry Newman. Newman started the Tractarian Movement, later referred to as the Oxford Movement, which began a tide of English conversions to the True Faith. John Henry Newman's whole work involved a study of the way in which the unchanging Truth and developing knowledge interacted. Michael Davies discusses Newman's life and achievement, illustrating how he provides a model for serious, pious Catholic work in the contemporary world which is modern and not modernist.
