Over the past two centuries, few Christians have been more
influential than John Henry Newman. His leadership of the Oxford
Movement shaped the worldwide Anglican Communion and many Roman
Catholics hold him as the brains behind reforms of the Second
Vatican Council. His life-story has been an inspiration for
generations and many commemorated him as a saint even before he
officially became the Blessed John Henry Newman in 2010. His
writings on theology, philosophy, education, and history continue
to be essential texts. Nonetheless, such a prominent thinker and
powerful personality also had detractors. In this volume, scholars
from across the disciplines of theology, philosophy, education, and
history examine the different ways in which Newman has been
interpreted. Some of the essays attempt to rescue Newman from his
opponents then and now. Others seek to save him from his rescuers,
clearing away misinterpretations so that Newman's works may be
encountered afresh. The 11 essays in Receptions of Newmans show why
Newman's ideas about religion were so important in the past and
continue to inform the present.
