Is it possible to capture, in brief, the fundamental changes that
affected the role of religion within modern Western society? For a
long time, many scholars would have answered that question in the
positive; most of them would certainly have counted increasingly
tolerant attitudes towards forms of religion that were once been
regarded as unacceptable, as being one of those central features.
In the light of the current revision of the established 'truths'
concerning modern religion, it is now possible to once again
address the wide-spread belief that modernity meant the gradual
victory of more 'liberal' religious attitudes without running the
risk of being accused of only dealing with commonplaces. Was
modernity only dominated by growing tolerance? And if so, what were
the forces that prompted that development? What was the nature of
that sentiment? This book approaches these questions by studying
the popular Protestant British view of John Henry Newman between
the time of his secession 1845 and his death in 1890. It draws on a
wide range of sources with a particular focus on the newspaper and
periodical press. It argues that changes in popular attitudes were
integral parts of the internecine religious disputes of, above all,
the 1850s and 1860s. A tolerant discourse came henceforth to live
side by side with traditional Protestant rhetoric. Nevertheless,
and in spite of expanding horizons, accepting attitudes became an
effective vehicle for expressing a sense of Protestant superiority.
