Both Newman and Stein present a mature response to the challenges
of their eras. In like manner they reflect splendid examples of
genuine persons in the grip of disrupting cultural trends. They
show the primacy of individual conscience and the importance of
individual integrity even at the expense of social ostracism and
extermination. Newman and Stein are outstanding witnesses of
individual freedom vis-a-vis social and political systems. This
book uniquely combines the biographies of these two figures in
order to show that no matter what kind of circumstances we may live
in, loyalty to one's own self is the most significant part of life.
"In a penetrating account of Newman and Edith Stein, Jan Klos
explores the spirituality of two saints, each of them 'speaking to
our time'. By explorations of their life and work, the author
provides a wealth of insights for the twenty-first century. At once
sensitive and learned, Jan Klos's Heart Speaks unto Heart is a
volume to be treasured and read again." - Prof. Andrew Breeze,
Universidad de Navarra, Spain "In this profound and stimulating
study, Klos invites the reader to think, not so much about Newman
and Stein as with them, and thus join them in their unique but
mutually illuminating efforts to make sense of their faith, their
times (still very much our times), themselves, and, ultimately, the
mystery of the truth in whose grasp they both lived and died. In
translating Newman's work, Stein discovered herself in communion
with him. Heart Speaks unto Heart beautifully explores this
communion, and in doing so shows us why it matters." - Prof. Paul
Wojda, University of St. Thomas, U.S.A.
