Professor Eamon Duffy, one of the world’s most influential and widely respected historians, will visit the Holy Name Church, Jesmond, Newcastle upon Tyne on Saturday 29 February at 12.30pm to speak about St. John Henry Newman, the subject of his most recent book about England's newest saint. Bishop Robert Byrne will introduce Professor Duffy.
Duffy’s, ‘The Stripping of the Altars’ (1982) was described in the London Review of Books as ‘one of those rare books which have the power radically to alter our understanding of a large piece of the past’, overturning what we thought we knew about the Reformation. His new book, ‘John Henry Newman: A very brief history’, on which this visit to Holy Name is based, makes a complex and important figure hugely accessible.
Tickets are free and all are welcome.
