The Francis William Newman Research Center, a subsidiary function of The Francis William Newman Society—a non-profit organization established in 2008 —exists for the dissemination of the works of Francis William Newman (1805-1897) and the advancement of critical thought regarding his works and life.

    Professor Newman was a polymath, as well as a religious and social reformer. Whereas his vocation was that of a classicist and historian, his writings—religious, philosophical, philanthropic, political, historical, philological, orthographic, mathematical, economical, and dietary—reflect the diversity of his intellectual concerns and the breadth of his knowledge. Even so, Newman's paramount interest was in religious studies, particularly within the Judaeo-Christian tradition, and it is Newman's exemplary practice of bringing all of his intellect to bear upon the study of religion that has determined the focal emphasis of the Francis William Newman Research Center.

Interested faculty should contact the Editor.
