I would like to thank Rev. Michael E. Engh, S.J., the dean of the Bellarmine College of Liberal Arts at Loyola Marymount University (LMU), for supporting my work on this book by granting me a College Fellowship during the spring semester, 2004. In addition, I would like to recognize my colleagues in the Theological Studies Department at LMU who advised me and supported me in this project. These include, among others, Dr. Jeffrey Siker, chair of the department, Rev. Thomas P. Rausch, S.J., Dr. Marie Anne Mayeski, and Dr. James J. Walter. Also, I would like to acknowledge four of my LMU student research assistants, Kelly Bothamley, Carolyn Conti, Cecilia Hansen and Tim Lewis, who helped with the research and typing.
I would like to thank Rev. Drew Morgan, C.O., director of the National Institute for Newman Studies, and Lisa Goetz, the managing editor of the Institute, for assisting us in the process of selecting a photo for the cover. Also, over the past few years the members of the Venerable John Henry Newman Association have kept my interest in Newman alive and have encouraged me in my work on this book. I would like to especially mention Dr. Edward Jeremy Miller, Rev. John T. Ford, C.S.C., Professor John D. Groppe, Dr. Mary Katherine Tillman, and Dr. Robert C. Christie. Finally, I would like to thank Jeremy Langford, Katie Lane, and Michael Marino of Sheed & Ward and Rowman & Littlefield whose assistance to me in completing this book was invaluable.
