On God's Side

The second biography to be written since Tyrrell''s death in 1906 this compelling new work outlines the religious upbringing and development of thought that led first to Tyrrell becoming a Jesuit and then to his excommunication by the Roman Catholic Church. Recounting the theological debates of the day Sagovsky paints a vivid portrait of Tyrrell as a man of compassion and mordant wit a man who was admired by his friends yet feared by his enemies.
