Should theology be a core subject studied in universities? John Henry Newman certainly thought so. Today, we share a sample lesson from Bishop Barron’s Word on Fire Institute course on Newman, titled “The Queen of the Sciences.” It focuses on Newman’s book, Idea of a University, and his comments on the role of religion in the circle of university disciplines.
Join the Word on Fire Institute today and get access to all 12 lessons in Bishop Barron’s course on Newman.

0:08.3 | here at Word on Fire Catholic Ministries. Bishop Aaron is not with us in studio, but we have |
0:14.1 | something special for you. We'd like to share a sample lesson from Bishop Aaron's ongoing |
0:19.6 | course Inside the Word on Fire Institute on the Thinking of John Henry Newman. This course |
0:26.0 | explores many of Newman's key books and key ideas. Newman, of course, was just recently |
0:31.1 | canonized. He's now Saint John Henry Newman, and there's been a lot of interest and energy |
0:36.2 | around his thought. This course will quickly get you up to speed. This sample lesson takes a look |
0:42.1 | at Newman's book, Idea of a University, and specifically the role of theology within all the |
0:48.4 | other university disciplines. It's great, especially if you're a teacher, a catacast, a parent, |
0:54.4 | a university student, and you're wondering how religion fits in amongst mathematics and |
0:59.7 | science and English and history and all the other fields. So we hope you enjoy this sample |
