In this episode, I speak with Frederick Aquino about the life and legacy of John Henry Newman. Dr Aquino is Professor of Theology and Philosophy in the Graduate School of Theology at Abilene Christian University. He is the author of Communities of Informed Judgment: Newman’s Illative Sense and Accounts of Rationality (Catholic University Press of America, 2004) and An Integrative Habit of Mind: John Henry Newman on the Path to Wisdom (Northern Illinois University Press, 2012). He is also co-editor and contributor to three recently published books with Oxford University Press: Receptions of Newman (2015), The Oxford Handbook of Epistemology of Theology (2017), and The Oxford Handbook of John Henry Newman (2018).
