Why is St. John Henry Newman considered the "father of converts," and how does his famous insight—"to be deep in history is to cease to be Protestant"—continue to illuminate the journey to the Catholic Church? On Driving Home the Faith, host Dr. Ken Craycraft offers a personal reflection on the feast day of St. John Henry Newman, sharing how reading the Apostolic Fathers and Newman's seminal work, An Essay on the Development of Christian Doctrine, guided his own conversion from an ordained Protestant minister to Catholic theologian.

Dr. Craycraft explores Newman's 1845 conversion, his distinction between true doctrinal development and modern corruption, and his defense of faith in Apologia Pro Vita Sua. He also reflects on his personal connection to Newman's enduring legacy—from the Oratory of St. Philip Neri in Birmingham to the Oxford Oratory at St. Aloysius Gonzaga, where Newman is honored with a shrine today.
