Keith Lemna’s The Apocalypse of Wisdom comes highly recommended for specialists and graduate students interested in the reception history of John Henry Newman’s thought, particularly as it manifested in the French Ressourcement movement of the twentieth century. It also comes recommended for those interested in diving deeply into Newman’s spirituality. The significance of the Anglo neo-Platonic tradition for Newman is often overlooked in studies of Newman’s epistemology and spirituality. Lemna, in his exposition of Bouyer, brings this important aspect of Newman’s thought to life, while at the same time demonstrating its influence on one of the most significant theologians of the twentieth century.

A problematic of being and consciousness is rerouted from the onset toward illocution, that is, toward a dialogal structure of alteration—“you are the other of yourself.” The soul becomes the place in which that separation of the self from itself prompts a hospitality . . . that makes room for the other. And because that “other” is infinite, the soul is an infinite space in which to enter and receive visitors.3

True, the intellectual content of the sermons (and thus of Dr. GuérinBoutaud’s book on them) is impressive, but by keeping before the reader’s eye the pastoral and spiritual aims of Newman, Dr Guérin-Boutaud goes back to the heart of theology. A very positive point is also Dr. Guérin-Boutaud’s excellent mastery of English. His translations are of a very good quality and can be checked against the original text in the footnotes. The introduction draws attention to some difficulties he encountered as a translator (for example the distinction between “unseen” and “invisible” while the French would tend to translate both as “invisible”), but there is no doubt that Dr. Guérin-Boutaud’s translation keeps as close as possible to Newman’s style. To conclude, the present book is aimed at an educated audience, who is already versed in theology and is already at least broadly familiar with Newman’s life and thinking. It is also a very enriching book, both intellectually and spiritually. It should in no way be confined to the French-speaking readership, and this reviewer hopes that it will one day be made accessible to the English-speaking public.
