Education should shape a well-rounded and cultured personality, not just train the brain for one specific area. This includes the development of moral and spiritual character through academic disciplines, ultimately leading to an understanding of God and creation. The Idea of ​​a University is an essay by John Henry Newman that outlines his vision of the purpose of higher education. He argues that universities should not be simply places to acquire job skills, but rather places to cultivate an educated mind or universal knowledge for noble purposes, including character formation and spiritual growth that ultimately lead to God. The book consists of lectures that explain this educational ideal, emphasizing the importance of the study of theology as a discipline that answers the question why? And how it complements other disciplines that answer the question how?
