A provocative reappraisal of a pivotal figure, John Henry Newman
also offers an important reconsideration of the religious and
intellectual history of the nineteenth century. One of the most
controversial religious figures of the nineteenth century, John
Henry Newman (1801-1890) began his career as a priest in the Church
of England but converted to the Roman Catholic Church in 1845. He
became a cardinal in 1879. Between 1833 and 1845 Newman, now best
known for his autobiographical Apologia Pro Vita Sua and The Idea
of a University, was the aggressive leader of the Tractarian
Movement within Oxford University. Newman, along with John Keble,
Richard Hurrell Froude, and E. B. Pusey, launched an uncompromising
battle against the dominance of evangelicalism in early Victorian
religious life. By 1845 Newman's radically outspoken views had
earned him censure from Oxford authorities and sharp criticism from
the English bishops. Departing from previous interpretations,
Turner portrays Newman as a disruptive and confused schismatic
conducting a radical religious experiment. Turner demonstrates that
Newman's passage to Rome largely resulted from family quarrels,
thwarted university ambitions, the inability to control his
followers, and his desire to live in a community of celibate males.
