Summary

The Idea of a University is a book by English theologian, polymath and scholar John Henry Newman in which he explained his philosophy of education. Newman believed in a middle way between free thinking and moral authority—one that would respect the rights of knowledge as well as the rights of revelation. His purpose was to build a Catholic university, in a world where the major Catholic universities on the European continent had recently been secularized, and most universities in the English-speaking world were Protestant. Newman divided his ideas in nine discourses:
Discourse I. Introductory
Discourse II. Theology A Branch Of Knowledge
Discourse III. Bearing Of Theology On Other Branches Of Knowledge
Discourse IV. Bearing Of Other Branches Of Knowledge On Theology
Discourse V. Knowledge Its Own End
Discourse VI. Knowledge Viewed In Relation To Learning
Discourse VII. Knowledge Viewed In Relation To Professional Skill
Discourse VIII. Knowledge Viewed In Relation To Religion
Discourse IX. Duties Of The Church Towards Knowledge

ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK 
"The Burning God" by R.F. Kuang is the third book in the Poppy War series. It follows Rin, a powerful and complex war leader, as she navigates a world of shifting alliances, betrayals, and the devastating consequences of war. She faces external enemies, as well as her internal demons and a loss of connection to her powers, all of which cause her to grapple with her own moral compromises. The story explores the corrupting nature of power, highlighting Rin's transformation as she becomes a ruthless leader. It also delves into themes of identity, the dehumanizing effects of war, and the clash of cultures and ideologies with the introduction of the Hesperians. The narrative blends military strategy with elements of shamanism, religion and mythology. The book depicts a world where the lines between good and evil are blurred, and where personal sacrifices are often demanded for the sake of survival.

    Never before had they known such hope. 
In a world drenched in violence and oppression, here was a man armed with a message of peace and freedom. Into lives nearly overwhelmed by grief and sorrow, he brought compassion and healing and the deepest joy. To people who felt like outcasts and aliens, he showed the way home. And then, in one devastating night, all their hopes collapsed. 
This is where our story begins—in the valley of despair. It is a tale of two friends, a stranger, and a search for truth in a world gone mad with doubt. 
Historian Joseph Loconte unlocks the meaning of their exchange, set in the chaotic days following the execution of Jesus of Nazareth. Drawing from literature, film, philosophy, history, and politics, Loconte shows how this biblical drama is an integral part of our own story. Sooner or later, we will find ourselves among the searchers.
