Jennifer Bryson: Rediscovering Saint John Henry Newman and Ida Görres

We live in an age where treasures are frequently rediscovered and brought back into the light for further examination and appreciation. Such is the work of Ida Friederike Görres’s "John Henry Newman: A Life Sacrificed" which gives us a compelling and detailed introduction to the life and personage of Saint John Henry Newman. This work is perfect for those who are unfamiliar with John Henry Newman and for those who are avid Newman devotees and wish to gain a deeper knowledge and appreciation of this modern-day saint. In this episode, Andrew Petiprin talks with Jennifer Bryson about her translation of Ida Friederike Görres’s "John Henry Newman." This wide-ranging and engaging conversation touches not only on Jennifer’s own conversion from Marxism to Christianity but also on the importance of rediscovering Ida Görres and what insights this work can offer into the life of John Henry Newman.
