This book offers a critical study of John Henry Newman’s theology of suffering in light of divine providence and eschatological hope. Far from treating suffering as meaningless, Newman interprets it as integral to Christian discipleship and inseparable from joy. Grounded in his sermons and the broader Catholic tradition, this work examines the doctrinal and pastoral dimensions of his thought, situating them within contemporary theological discourse. It highlights Newman’s relevance for addressing the constant question of human suffering. The book avoids any tendency toward uncritical or hagiographic presentation.
